An Interlude with the Police: How our System Works

I generally invite trouble, have never known why. But its fun neways. 

This time I got into shit load of trouble with the law. Yes, you guessed right! The enforcers were involved.

Now, In India most people are intimidated by authority, including me untill this incident. 

This post has been drafted with the noble intention of enlightening you people (The Junta) that there is no big deal in well dealing with Walter Vetrivel's (cops). Now the story begins:-

Me and a couple of friends were travelling by car towards college, en route we met with an accident with a Pulsar bike near Ambattur. Sorry to sound cliched but it wasnt my goddamn mistake. The bike was totalled, but the biker had no injuries at all, well atleast physically. As you see, mentally he was nearly a wreck. Poor bloke. Being the sympathetic, good natured guy that I am, we stopped the car to check on the biker. Hell broke loose. A minor skirmish ensued and I was even threatened by local tobacco chewing auto guys(You know the kinda ppl who always talk with their tongues bent downwards, starting every line with addingu!!). Finally calm prevailed and the authorities turned up. Late as usual (sometimes tamil movies are right). We were then taken to the station where, the biker was served coffee as he had parted with Rs 200 as "official Charges". Now an FIR was lodged, according to which we were the culprits cuz of the only reason that we were driving the larger vehicle(Grr!!..i was pissed!). The authorities then pushed off to another Traffic Station in ponamalee. Here it was pompously declared that I would be arrested for being the "mad driver". Well I was stunned. Afterall an "arrest" in cinematic terms does sound heavy. The constable lost no time in informing me that my future is tarnished, Woe be me. For ppl who are cornered by authorities there is always one outlet VITAMIN M (read as money). I whipped out a 500 Rs note and waved it in front of them. Well guess what? I was offered a seat under the fan and the next minute the constablke is talkin to me as if we are bigtime buddies!!. A formal arrest form was signed for the heck of it and my dear buddy (Mr. Anush Sridharan) signed as my bail bondsman. 15 mins later we are out!.. The next step is to go to the RTO and get the car released. Another 200 rupees and an hour later we are free birds home bound. Dont you just love India.

The last note that the constable tells me with grand authority is " You will be called to the court in 6 weeks time for completion of the rash driving case"...

Well the court thing is another story altogether. Keep waitin!
