The police story..

I can talk for any number of days about my experiences with cops. When I say cops, I am not mentioning to those who are responsible of upholding law and order in the place. I am referring to those traffic police officers in Tamil Nadu who are no different from scavengers of money. I have seen traffic police catching people for driving over the yellow line on the road which separates the two sides of the road and acts as a median. I happened to find another funny incident, which proved rather unfortunate for the guy who was riding the bike. The signals in Chennai are fitted with timers and people are requested by the scrolling texts at the signals to switch off their vehicle engines if the counter shows more than 20 seconds for the Green to flash. I was standing right next to this rider. He killed his engine and removed the helmet. He took out the hanky from his pocket and started drying his hair which was completely wetted by sweat. The policeman at the signal saw him without the helmet. That was enough for him to get whatever he expected from this poor man who would be around 25. The policeman walked steadily towards the rider and took the vehicle key from the key slot and walked to the tree shade available near the platform as if he is the Mr.Coolest. This man walked to the policeman and asked him the reason for his senseless act. I overheard what the policeman said and it was 'You were not wearing the helmet'. I could see what that reply would have done to the young man and he was trying to tell him he removed the helmet since it was a red. Now, the rider started to get furious over the entire thing. He said he the engine was killed and that means he wasn't driving. The policeman was not prepared to lend ears to what this young man had to say. Finally, the sergeant returned to the spot after a sumptuous afternoon meal and got to know what happened from the traffic constable. That was when they started demanding Rs.100 as a fine for not wearing the helmet. I thought this guy was cornered. But, to my surprise, I found this guy telling the two policeman that he would get the vehicle from the court after facing the charges there and demanded a Tow van for the safe parking of the two wheeler and even stated that it is the duty of traffic police not only to tow the vehicles but to make sure the vehicles are safe and asked them for the receipt for the tow service. I stopped my bike closer to the platform, about 20 meters from the place where the three men stood, and was watching the grand Tamil Nadu Police department's defaming diplomats demanding (literally begging) for money. The traffic constable brought the bike which was obstructing other vehicles all this while, from the middle of the road to the platform. The policemen started to threaten him that he would be required to pay more in the court and asked him to act sensibly. The youngster let a jolt pass through the policemen when he asked them to take a look at the sticker near the taillight of his vehicle. After that, I was surprised by the way the two policemen let this man go without paying even a single penny. I was waiting for the guy to pass me by so that I can see what gave the policemen the big jerk which made them look like two stupid clowns on the road. I was so happy to find someone literally slap the police officers in front of a huge crowd with the word 'PRESS' behind his bike. Now, I know what I should do to escape these beggars next time. Soon, you can find the 'PRESS' graphics at the rear end of my bike. :P

Indian media-The world of shameless, senseless, ridiculous, careless and jobless clowns..

Note : As a citizen of India and an element of the Democratic setup that prevails in this Great Nation, I own the privilege to voice my opinion and express my intentions in the form of words. I can't take responsibility if any part of the following post hurts the sentiments of the people involved in it because those people should accept that 'Truth and facts are always bitter and hurting". If you still feel offended, bring your issues to my view. I'll make sure you're proven wrong.


Of late, I managed to develop a good amount of interest for watching news channels. I was carrying the opinion that news channels are quite mundane since they keep rolling almost the same set of news for the whole day. I even conduct tests on these channels by switching between them quickly to find what each channel is concentrating on. The result adds more bitterness against the whole thing. If anything big happens in the country, each and every news channel runs around the incident and come up with the same set of information except for the extra tag line which says "Information available exclusively on XXXXXXXX news channel". Media people should now be serious with their vocabulary and check the dictionary for the meaning of "EXCLUSIVELY". If it’s available on all the channels, then how can it be called exclusive? Or am I getting it completely wrong???? :-P Very recently, I deliberately watched Times Now for some junk news which the channel is very good at. The best part is that the news channel proclaims itself to be 'The Best English News Channel in India", because no one would say anything even closer to what it assumes itself to be. The hot dish for the day was Shivraj Patil, who, if you don't know, is the Union minister of Home affairs and yes, he really takes care of his Home affairs letting nothing to come on his way. Not even the country. He is such a dedicated family man. Times Now took a shot at this man and the funny part of the tale was that the news channel discovered that he changed his clothes thrice on the day the bombs went off in Delhi. Doesn't this make you drop your jaws? Ok. Here is another remarkable thing the channel managed to cover. They were running behind Shivraj Patil the whole day not to make the news for the day but to checkout his attire. The channel went to the extent of getting the photographs of Shivraj in three different outfits on the same day while people were in total agony after losing their loved ones in the serial blasts. I know this would have made you react with a "Wowwwwww!!!" That is the power of Indian media. They can make you laugh at a funeral and celebrate the death of innocent people! If you call that the talent which media people "EXCLUSIVELY" posses, then you are the right person Times Now is searching for. Come up! Put on the jester's costume! Indian Media is calling you!
