But just in case.... she has driven carelessly (not enough to hit someone but to create unsafe driving conditions for other traffic on the road).... I have this to say. In the dark especially, a driver is not supposed to make such turns. It is unsafe and it can cause an accident... yeah even if the road seems clear. On that basis alone, if it is proven she was careless she should be ticketed for a moving violation (and that is a very, very serious thing). Where I live, I could have my license suspended for months at a time for an infraction like that. Your friend... if guilty of that... should consider herself lucky she only met up with corrupt cops and a Indian mob. <br /><br />I am fully cognizant of how people drive in India, especially when they are on 4 wheels. It is now part of our culture and I have seen people getting hit and cars speeding off. Not once, not twice but many times. The seths driving or being driven in these cars, frankly dont give a damn. Given those circumstances I can hardly wonder that a mob will not try and get thier pound of flesh when they do get thier hands on the driver. As a woman your friend escaped what could have been a worse fate than being jostled and pearl necklaces getting ripped. Do I feel the mob should not have done what they did? Ofcourse I do, but then I can also understand the seething anger against "seth" log who have more and also have more means to hurt with impunity.<br /><br />The cops behaved just like the rest of India does when faced with easy money. Face it, corruption is endemic and Kutty, Madan, Puri and I indulge in it everytime we give chai-pani money for the slightlest comforts to be accorded to us without effort. It is in our genes now. We are venal and dishonest. I also think we have been that for a very long time. It is not a recent thing. We have been a poor country for centuries (yeah, the Rajas were rich but the aam janta has been poor for thousands of years), Poverty breeds corruption. Perhaps we dont take suitacases of Bofors money, but the fact is that corruption touches us everyday and has become an A-moral (not moral/immoral) issue for us. The fact that Shobhaa and her friends did not make every effort to register a complaint against not getting a reciept, made that act an amoral issue at that point.<br /><br />That you did not call friends in high places, is what I expected from you anyway. If you had done anything else, I would have been very dissapointed.

Anyway, God bless you.<br />It's like this: generally a lot of men dislike women who are on their own. It must have pained this man to see a lady drive a car (and as you've mentioned he drove a scooter) and so he found an opportunity to raise an alarm.<br />This is the case with both men and women and it's a kind of complex that makes these behave the way they do.<br />Can I call you a sweetheart?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-41813413820661429272009-05-05T09:12:00.000+05:302009-05-05T09:12:00.000+05:30Hi Shobhaa, this appears to be the modus operandi ...Hi Shobhaa, this appears to be the modus operandi in Pune- my mother went through a similar experience a few years ago and that too close to the Mundhwa area(where the Oakwood premier is located).She was alone at the wheel,and the cops and labourers only left the scene after she parted with close to Rs.1000.. they cited these were for doc fees too..<br />Kudos to you and your galpals for going about this the right(albeit tough) route.The rest of us only talk ke "system ko badalna chahiye", but no one wants to bell the cat... someone like you takes the initiative and hopefully more of us will follow now on.. you go Shobhaa :-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781499725669908624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-26837599861503116712009-05-05T05:02:00.000+05:302009-05-05T05:02:00.000+05:30This is the kind of stuff/cops
our country is made...This is the kind of stuff/cops<br />our country is made up of....! <br /><br />I have a very precise idea of what happened to your friend that night. Bcoz I am a Punekar (though currently I am in the US) and live pretty close to Oakwood. <br />Two things happened coz you were women: <br />First - the crowd thought they could get away with just 'tamasha' and extract money, inspite of knowing no one was hurt/your friend was not at fault. So they started it in the first place.<br /><br />Second: If a male was really responsible for what happened, (and not a female as most of crowd may have thought happened), they would have physically assaulted to extent of killing him. So they spared you (but only in a way).<br /><br />Your not paying up may have come as a hurdle to their thinking, but once Shobhaa arrived on the scene and even if one person recognised her, they knew they were up against a journo of no small importance. so they took what was offered to them and left. Your friend was wise to accept. <br /><br />I am not surprised you picked up the cudgels for her and the whole episode. That's the Shobhaa I know & love and respect. Not the one who goes week kneead as soon as Bollywood offers a piece of pie to her in any way.<br /><br />Knowing who you are, I am not at all surprised you did'nt make that single call to power corridoor to make 'choohaas' out of those pot bellied cops/lions. <br /><br />But but, but. I see no reason to apologise on behalf of those cops. When u apologise it means that it will not happen again, but I am 100% sure this will keep happening with many citizens in Pune. I am ashamed of them, and I do hope some terrible thing happens to them that will change them forever, I dont care what it is. They even fleece the poor two wheelers who can ill afford their bribe.<br /><br />As for Indian driving licences, the less said the better. It's a bundle of rubbish. Even the professional drivers do not take a written road test the way it happens in other countries.<br /><br />But a great post Shobhaa. Hats off to you for your attitude and the powerful write up. You are at your best here.<br /><br />Cheers...!!!introspectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820207734329529880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-57607265411732966932009-05-05T05:00:00.000+05:302009-05-05T05:00:00.000+05:30At the time of partition lots of Hindu people livi...At the time of partition lots of Hindu people living in Pakistan fled to India. They escaped death but lost everything they had in Pakistan in terms of properties, business etc.<br /><br />To get back to their original status majority of these people looked for shortcuts to get back to their original status in terms of wealth. This created a culture of corruption, dishonesty and in the absence of any strong system (Thanks to Gandhi's governance), it spread everywhere.<br /> <br />Now the corruption has taken it's roots and has spread everywhere. It can't easily be removed unless their is strong punishment for minor offences. <br /><br />Similarly the NANGA culture spread by those in TV media and bollywood movies has taken it's roots and will bankrupt this country from it's ORIGINALITY. The difference this time is that those in TV, print media and bollywood have become GREEDY TO BECOME NEXT MILLIONAIRE IN DOLLOARS.<br /><br />THE DAYS ARE NOT FAR OFF WHEN THE PARENTS WILL TRY TO MARKET THEIR DAUGHTERS FOR CHEERLEADING ROLES IN IPL...MAY BE IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING.<br /><br />LALIT MODI WILL BECOME THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER PIMP IN THIS NEW INDIA. HE MAY EVEN TRY TO BRING WOMEN FROM HIS HOUSEHOLD...HIS WIFE OR DAUGHTER OR SISTER...TO BOOST HIS INCOME.<br /><br />THE GREED OF FEW THOUSANDS PEOPLE WHO CONTROL MEDIA ARE SPREADING WESTERN ILLS IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM. THIS KIND OF FREEDOM AND NANGAPAN ARE AFFORDABLE IF WE HAVE STRONG INSTITUTIONS OF POLICE AND JUDICIARY AND A DISCIPLINED, SENSITIVE, SOCIETY.<br /><br />THE ABSENCE OF HONEST, RELIABLE JUDICIARY/POLICE SYSTEM TO FIGHT THESE WESTERN ILLS WILL SOON BRING THIS COUNTRY TO DISASTER.<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if it will help to bring in the gun culture in India. If everyone knows how to shoot...lots of politicians and media people will act responsibily. If they don't majority of those in MEDIA and politics will be attending lots of funerals of their collegues.Anil Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185075142594811893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-82324054429502163092009-05-05T03:48:00.000+05:302009-05-05T03:48:00.000+05:30All you managed to do was to bring the quantum of ...All you managed to do was to bring the quantum of the bribe down somewhat, it seems.<br /><br />:D<br /><br />BTW, the argument about cops' salaries not being high enough being a reason for their demanding bribes is a lot of bull!

Men can sometimes be aggressive and fight back, but you two Ladies would not stoop to that level.<br />It is not only the police who try to make an extra buck. You have civilized so called Doctors who do pretty well too, to knock off whatever they can.<br />In 1993, I was at a signal (stationary), when an 8 year old school girl tripped on some stones (road dug up)and fell on my bonnet. The girl's friend helped her and they both sat on the pavement.<br />I looked into my rear view mirror and then told my technician to go and see what happened, as the signal turned green. At the turn I stopped and went to the girl to find out if she was hurt. She said that she was ok and that her friend would take her home. However I saw her limping, and carried her to the nearest doctor, as the lane was too narrow to take her in the car. The doctor gave her an injection and advised me to take her to a hospital, as there were signs of a slight fracture. Since it was afternoon and both her parents were at work, I felt that it was my moral duty help out and took her to a private hospital. <br />My technician carried the child to the first (the rogue doctor charged me Rs. 400/for this service)floor of the hospital. She<br /> hardly used the bed (Charges Rs. 600/)and Rs. 2,500/ for cast etc.<br />I paid it with disgust, and by cheque. I had already missed an important meeting and did not want to spoil my evening.<br />However when the rogue doctor asked the little girl if she were hurt anywhere else by the car, I let him have it, and asked him if he was really a qualified doctor, as if my car, a Maruti 1000 had hit/gone over the child's legs, she would have no leg, as she was very tiny and skinny.<br />I thought of taking him to task later, but for my little trouble, believe me. The very next day we received a MAJOR Contract, which was not projected in my Budget , while a couple of years later that rogue doctor was put in jail for illegaly selling Babies for adoption. <br />The above is not for personal appraisal, but testimony to the truth that there is ONE above who sees and pays one in this life itself.<br />What does the policeman do with all the hafta he takes from even a poor vendor? does he use it to enhance his Family's status. No he uses it to boose, gamble and.... <br />There are educated people in all areas, Govt. Private Cos. Banking, Postal etc. who get handsome salaries, who take bribes. We cannot blame the policeman only.<br />It is for us people to decide if we want to encourage these parasites.<br />Cheers.<br /><br />Norman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-46497950254113930592009-05-05T01:58:00.000+05:302009-05-05T01:58:00.000+05:30sometimes, they make you feel as if you are guilty...sometimes, they make you feel as if you are guilty for having things working in your favour, and hence you have to pay up for their share of misfortune!!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394200137631383145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-32176493879122255422009-05-04T23:48:00.000+05:302009-05-04T23:48:00.000+05:30I totally understand...
