I spotted this Chittoor auto rickshaw AP03-2838 at Tirumala Dairy near Gudur. I got curious, and had a chat with the driver. Here are some interesting facts. His name is Sulaiman. He is a tailor at Aashika Tailors, Tirupati.

Three days back 5 adults and 3 kids came to Nellore by this auto. They visited Mypadu, AS Peta, Kasumur, attended the Gandham ceremony at Baarashahid Darga in Nellore, attended the Rottela Panduga (bread festival) this morning and were on their way back. Their total trip was around 600 KMs.
