Its been long time since i have seen honesty on public display till i faced it face on.
On Monday when i almost took a day off from office for completing some of the house chores.I didnt have the slightest idea i was heading for my first tryst with the traffic police and was going to be booked for breaking the regulations :( .
After placing my orders with the furniture shop nearby i was on my way back home. For the first time i was wearing my helmet for a short distance drive to save my head from the scorching heat.
I saw a police barricade about 200 mtrs away . I did have my chance of u-turning my bike and moving thru another road without any hassles.But as i was overconfident that the police wont budge me off my path as i had my helmet on,i moved on. To my surprise the police asked me to side my vehicle in his typical haryanvi accent {Tau side kar liyo gadi} . I showed him the license and then he asked my RC , pollution certificate and insurance papers. I always used to carry the xerox copies of those. He scrutinized through the papers and then finally told that i had all the papers but xerox copies wont serve the purpose as i have to produce the originals. I asked him to give me 5 mins and i ll collect it from my room and show it to him. But seems he was no mood to listen to my plea. I even told him that every where the xerox copies work . But he was determined not to release me. I sensed that i have to loosen my pockets so try to talk him into it.But he seemed pretty adamant and told me " Beta sirf jake kagaz dikha diyo traffic office mein aur apni license le liyo".
I have been caught more than couple of times by the traffic police but was able to go off without any hassles cos none of them were honest ( once i was without a license and helmet even) but this time i had all the things but the cop turned out to be honest.I am paying the price for the cops honesty.I ll have to go to the traffic office with all my docs one of these days...
But one thing the cop said in the end ... " Beta ab toh tu aish kar ...ab koi bhi pakda toh challan dikha dena ".

Heheh...That happens sometimes, and of course there is something to learn from this incident as well. There is a very thin line between Over-confidence and stupidness.
Have you got back your papers? But as you said, all of them were not originals, you shouldn't care about those.
Enjoy...waise...ye challan kab tak valid hai??
One Doubt : "Why does a "GHODA" need to use a bike " ????
