A seemingly ordinary auto-rickshaw in Bengaluru has captured the internet’s attention thanks to its peculiar window. The three-wheeler, with its distinct window feature, was spotted by social media user Tanvi Gaikwad, who shared an image of it on platform X (formerly Twitter) on August 29th.
The post, titled “This auto has a window whattt,” quickly went viral, generating a flurry of reactions from users who were both amused and intrigued by the auto’s unique design. Many commented on the unusual addition, with one user even stating, “I won’t be able to breathe tbh (to be honest).” Gaikwad, however, clarified that the left side of the auto was open, ensuring sufficient ventilation. She humorously suggested that the window was probably meant to shield passengers from Bengaluru’s notorious rains.
The conversation took on a playful tone, with users drawing parallels to various aspects of life. One user compared the auto’s window to a small apartment in Mumbai, while another joked that the driver would likely charge extra for the luxury feature. Gaikwad, in a lighthearted manner, said she would have gladly paid extra for the window if it had been raining.
The auto’s sophistication was praised by several users, with one commenting, “Some drivers love their vehicles more than their kids. It shows their dedication to their profession.” The viral post also prompted a discussion about autos in other parts of India, with users from Goa sharing that their autos also feature windows and even doors.
The post, garnering over 51.55 lakh views and 42 thousand likes in just four days, became a platform for online humor and lighthearted debate. From calling it ‘unsafe for women commuters’ to ‘Rickshaw Pro Ultra,’ ‘pushpak viman,’ ‘AC 2 Tier,’ ‘vande Bharat train,’ ‘Windows 11’ and ‘business class auto,’ the auto’s window sparked a wave of creative comparisons and hilarious reactions. The viral post serves as a reminder of the power of social media to highlight the unexpected and humorous aspects of everyday life, igniting conversations and generating widespread amusement.
