Lost my virginity on the road 2day....

Don't get ideas people...its just that i got chalaaned for the first time . My crime: " overspeeding "

It was 10:45 in the morning. I was goin to pick up my friend on the way to college. And i was getting late. Still i kept my cool. It was just a matter of croosing the flyover before i reached a broader road where i could SPEED up. So i relaxed...wind blowing through my hair ( ofcourse AC ki thandi hawa ) and listening to Adnan Sami i was literally gliding thru traffic in my santro... I was at 60 ks and going downhill.

So as i reached the nadir of the flyover and moving further, through the corner of my eye i noticed a strange , fat , big creature in white flashing its teeth at me. A fraction of a second later i noticed similar creatures : one clawing at my side of the car glass and the other ready to pounce on the bonnet of the car... It was then that i recognized the ubiquitous traffic policeman aka "thulla"... and from the expressions on their faces i assumed that it was smthing important... so i stopped . I got out of the car and was soon surrounded by six of these six foot high fat policemen... fr the first time i felt like a dwarf ( i'm 5' 9.5"....lol) and realized that i had fallen into their trap.

My crime was overspeeding : 60Ks while going down a flyover wich is pretty acceptable..but the thulla was unwilling to listen. And then MURPHY's LAW came to affect... He dismissed my driving licence as being a duplicate !!! ( wich it was actually...i keep the original with my bike papers...lol).. neway after much vehement pleadings n beggings n intervention by a sweeeet lookin aunty, the thulla charged me only for overspeeding... by quoting " chalo fir aap bas 900 rupees hi dedo ".... HERE i must mention that i did try my hand at bribing him too... offered him 400 bucks for pardoning me but surprisingly he didnt yield..( mayb his superior was there too)i'm nt sure coz i actually did see a hint of smile on his face on listening to my offer which quickly disappeared in a flash as if being woken out of a dream..... So i had no option and being short on cash had to deposit the car's RC with him which he neatly folded and put in his pocket with his DRIED PAAN stained fingers..ooooeeee..yuck..

Still dismissing 900 bucks as being a meagre sum isint done... i mean it could buy you a stack of about 65 DVD-RWs..wat more can you ask for.... you could even go for a sumptous meal at
UPSC for days and even then it wouldn't finish. Numerous things you could do withthat amount of money but for a trivial judgement error...( yea dats what i call it )..had i been a lil faster nobody could have stopped me. They wudnt have dared.

Anyhow i'm still happy about losing my virginity on the road..( figuratively).. my first chalaan you see. And now i even sympathize with the hundreds of other ppl who face a similar ordeal of lookin at their hard earned money disappear inside the pockets of the thullas... in return for a pink coloured , flimsy , foul smelling piece of paper... saad. ( i used to laugh earlier)..its funny how people change. But i seriously feel that there should still be some student concession..nai ?????
