"The Girl in Auto Rickshaw" is a simple story told simply. Leo Tolstoy said "There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, truth and goodness." So the greatness of this story lies in its simplicity. The story of "The Girl in Auto Rickshaw" is the uncommon story of common people, Aqeel, Roma and Karan. Success is the worst kind of intoxicant. Usually when someone tastes success, he becomes high-headed with arrogance, false pride and overconfidence, but Aqeel is an exception. He is a man from a very modest background but after being separated from his joint family, he rises to a respectable social status due to sheer hard work and consistent endeavour. Aqeel does not become arrogant or proud. On the contrary, his success makes him more modest and amiable than before. His ambition does not turn into greed. Being from an underprivileged background himself, he understands the difficulties and problems of the lower class people and is very considerate and charitable towards them. Destiny brings Aqeel in contact with Roma, the girl in auto rickshaw, who was so frustrated by her miserable condition that she was on the verge of committing suicide. Aqeel not only assists her financially but morally also, giving her a new hope in life.But after attaining financial freedom and becoming independent, Roma, instead of being grateful to Aqeel, becomes self-centred. She forgets all her obligations and in order to satisfy the unending hunger to earn more and more money, she moves away from Aqeel. At this stage, Karan, a happy-go-lucky and jolly type of person, enters Roma's life. Karan develops a liking for Roma and wants to marry her but Roma is undecided. How Aqeel, Roma and Karan get entangled in a web of uncontrollable circumstances and how they struggle to get out of it forms the rest of this interesting story. "The Girl in Auto Rickshaw" takes the reader on a wonderful, emotional journey. It keeps the question "What will happen next?" alive up to the very end.

Go ahead and enjoy it. Happy Reading!
