Here are the BAD rickshaw drivers:

On feb. 2, 2006, I tried to get a rickshaw from a Trivandrum travel agency, aroud the corner from the government bus depot, where a bus had left me, to Varkala Beach, Kerala, Southern India.

Here are some of the drivers, (and their rickshaw numbers)laughing, calling me names. If I do not pay them 800-1000 rupees for the ride to Varkala, then I can not leave here. They will chase away every honest driver who comes by, and offers to use the meter, or charge me 200 rupees. I have paid 100-150 rupees previously, for the very same trip, with the same luggage.
