In my old van, the fuel gauge moves faster than a spinner in Test cricket when CNG prices rise. They say new electric adventure bikes are coming, but show me the study on how the rikshaw-wala’s electricity bill will fare. Change should not run over the small man first.

Daily three-four rides I do in Noida, all QR code payments. But last month, my own cousin-brother got tricked—"update your KYC" message, clicked, two thousand gone. So I tell my father, keep only one small account linked to his phone, no bank alerts off. This new system is fast, haan, but for old hands, sometimes it's a highway without speed-breakers.
