| The traditional mode of transportation in Kashmir has not always been a taxi. It has only recently been introduced in Srinagar, and is fast becoming popular. It is now replacing the fascinating horse-drawn carriage (tonga) in certain areas. |
Ashok: Is the taxi available (for hire)? 
Taxi driver: Yes, (please) get in. Where do you want to go? 
Ashok: I want to go to the post office. 
Taxi driver: Which post office? 
Ashok: The head post office. 
Taxi driver: All right, come on in. 
Ashok: How far is it? 
Taxi driver: It is two miles from here. 
Ashok: All right, (please) hurry. 
Taxi driver: All right, sir, (we're) on our way. |
