LOL!! Karthik- consider this,
Bangalore to Chennai - 361 kms - Lalbagh Express - Rs.115
Chennai Central to my home at Saidapet - Rs.120 (Pre-paid rate)
You negotiate and he will agree for 100/- Ridiculous!
hmm... one of the several ironies of life..!!!!! :)
Roopa - Another way of looking at it is - Customisation Vs Standardisation!!! and the cost associated!! "Last Mile" is customisation and "point A to point B" is Standardisation!!
Siva - Oh yes!! and thanks for the visit!
