Delhi Police Inspector saves me from rickshaw scam 🇮🇳

There are some schools and institutions in the area, which means delicious, cheap eats! I had heard a lot of good reviews about the street food in the area, particularly the street pizza and street Indian-style Chinese stir-fried foods, so I had to take the hour long metro ride out here to try it for myself.
After arriving at my metro stop, I got off and walked outside to where all the rickshaws were waiting. I planned on grabbing a rickshaw to nearby Vision Institute, which is where I needed to go for the good eats. While trying to explain where I needed to go, a nice man noticed I was the only foreigner in the area, and on top of that, I was alone bargaining for a rickshaw. Being that Delhi is notorious for rickshaw overcharging, he jumped in to help me bargain for the rickshaw. For a 2km, the rickshaw drivers wanted ₹100, or roughly $1.21. I actually don't think this was too much given that petrol and other expenses are quite high nowadays, but Jaydee assured me it was too high, and told me I had to pay ₹60-₹70, which is actually roughly the official fare if you look up Delhi rickshaw prices by meter. He seemed to know what he was talking about as he's the son of a police inspector in Delhi as he told me. He helped me bargain for the rickshaw and I was off!
The rickshaw driver himself was very nice as well. We talked about his family and job on the way, and he was also happy I spoke Hindi. In the end I gave him ₹200 since he was such a nice man. These men have hard jobs being outside in the pollution all day and having to push through traffic.
After arriving at the location I requested, I had to take a short walk over to Croma Mall where I had scouted out a street Pizza. I walked up and said hi, and the owner selling was extremely happy and friendly. I decided on trying his "Shahi Nazrana" pizza which was full of delicious toppings, and for just over $1 for a small size, I couldn't beat it!
Enjoy.
