My Luck Today with Ola

As name of my blog correctly says, my bad luck seems to reach out to people around me too. Hmm, is this contagious or another "Infected Luck?"

It so happened today that i booked #Ola share and after 14 minutes of wait in the hot sun, I finally see a brand new #Swift coming towards me.. with #Ola nicely written on it and with their official colors...The moment i jumped into the cab and locked the door, the driver gets another ride (because this is #Ola share) he chose to accept the ride, calls the customer, gets the confirmation, notes down the pick up location...drives the cab to the pick up location. And in the mean time, while all this was happening, I was very elated that the driver got another ride after ME jumping into the cab. I thought I bring luck to atleast someone. Because today was the driver's first day of #Ola experience and I happened to be his first customer.

So, after the driver reached the pick up point, the customer cancelled the ride :(  And my happiness, only proved me wrong. While I was feeling bad for the driver, well he wasn't disappointed though, he was kind enough to share with me as to why he chose to be #Ola driver, what EMI he pays for the #Swift car and I was almost reaching my office hearing to his story....And the traffic police stop the driver.. I said to myself.. Come on luck not again... Why are you punishing this poor guy because of me.. The driver had to get down from the cab only to answer 100 questions from the police, produced all the licenses, gave all the explanations and finally ends up paying 500 bucks as penalty for not having number plate. Now, from where will this guy get number plate when the car he is driving is only 4 day old.

My fare costed me only 75 bucks, but my luck costed the driver 500 bucks and a ride. phewwwww..
