Hindi/Telegu phrases to make people cry

Ok, last night an Auto driver tried to charge me 300 rs for a trip from Hi-tech city to Banjara hills (max of 55-60 rs, right?). this was at 7 in the evening, and he was totally serious. So im thinking the best way to get around this is to learn some cutting phrases in Hindi or Telegu which will make a person like this cry a bit. i don't want to insult his family or anything, but something that'll get his attention.

Is there a Hindi equivilent of "You're pulling the piss, mate"?

or "I'm not as green as i am cabbage looking", etc?

Marko, it is illegal for an auto driver to charge people on an ad-hoc basis. He has to use the meter. If he does not you can hand him over to the cops. In fact, it is also against the law for them to refuse any customer their service. If that happens, find yourself the nearest traffic cop. The cop will make sure that the auto driver takes you to your destination the right way.

Has anyone had autodrivers who tell you a sad story and ask for a tip...uncomfortable situation hina? Ok, so you assume he is being honest about his problems and tip but it's not enough, he wants more!

Nope, that phrase means " Do you see a flower inside my ear?"

Yeah I too know the meaning.But I meant it in a more aesthetic sense than the literal word-to-word sense.

When you say chevilo puvvu emaina kanimistonda? you don't really mean to ask whether the opposite person sees any flower in ur ear :!:

U jus' wanna express that u r not to be taken for a ride (& to be taken for a ride here does'nt mean to be taken on a vehicle/horse/buggy for a round trip :!:

)

Remember Paresh Rawal asking Puvvemaina Kanimistonda to Sridevi in Kshana Kshanam :?:

I generally chatter a lot with auto wallahs as it keeps me from getting bored. Had an auto driver relate his whole life to me. He was a very good student but had to give his studies, etc. Since he told me about his life not as a sob-story, but only after I asked him, I myself paid him a tip.

Main Hyderabad main naya nahi hoon, babu.

I am not new to Hyderabad, babu.

Bahut baar jaata hoon wahaan par. Itne paise nahi lagte.

I go to that place a lot of time. The charge is not so high.

I agree with the others. Auto walas shudnt charge so much and you can compain to the police. They will take 'half-return' charge extra, but only after 10 pm.
