I was travelling home in a Trishaw(Auto in simple) after another hectic day of meetings all day. Happy about my friend has joined me back in office after 5 days of vacation. We were talking our usual stuff about the updates of office during last week.
The auto was stopped by the military. They check the lisence or even the identity of the passengers. The police dont chase the vehicles here. They have a stop board in their hand and the vehicle stops in no time. Discpline is the order of the day on roads. People stick to the lanes, 1st preference to the pedestrains, no walking on roads, only footpath is used. No vendors blocking the roads. Definately stop on Red signal.
The Trishaw stopped at an Petrol bunk, and i was not so happy about it as it was already a long day and i wanted to reach home at the earliest (Need to go home, cook and then eat and sleep). The auto driver asked me about the price of petrol in India, when i told him he was amazed saying so cheap. I didnt bother as i told him price in INR and i thought he was comparing it with LKR rate. He immediately asked me about the exchange rate for the 2 currencies. He knows the reason for the exchange differences. He understands the economic differences between the two countries.
It rained heavily for continous 3-4 days last week. No sign of water pools on main roads. Vehicles move with ease even in rains.
Probably the only difference is discpline and very less population compared to India.
Good days ahead with this country.
