Truth Triumphs !!!!!!!

One busy day at office ! Soccer Fever all around. Total choas, had to meet a deadline. I was asked to go to National Market to pick up a few movies based on soccer. Accompanying me was Mili, who was working as a trainee for a month with us. She hails from Mumbai.

It was around 6.30 pm and where would I find parking space ? Somehow I parked my vehicle in front of a shop in the parallel road. We quickly went to National Market, and paid visits to numerous CD shops, browsed through hundreds of CDs and managed to find few movies.

We wrapped up our work and walked towards the shop where my vehicle was parked. For a minute, I thought we had landed on a different street , I couldn't find my vehicle. I asked the shopkeeper and he asked me to go to Upperpet police station. Now we took a rickshaw to the police station, I still didnt find my vehicle there. On enquiring with the Inspeector, he re-directed us to the KSRTC bus stand, where such vehicles are dealt with.

I had never walked so fast in my life-time, it was as though I was participating in a marathon, poor Mili, she had to cope with my speed, or else she would get lost in Bangalore. We reached the police booth in the KSRTC bus stand. I still couldnt find my vehicle. The constable incharge told us that TIGER (the proud vehicle that carries violated vehicles in procession) had not yet arrived. As we waited with patience, the Inspector incharge arrived on the scene. He asked me the location where my vehicle was parked, I promptly told him the same and asked him why my vehicle was lifted from the spot, even when there was no "No Parking" sign any where near that spot.

He argued with me saying that the police are not fools and that such a thing couldnt have happened at all. I would not give up, cause I perfectly knew I had not parked it in the wrong place. I was not willing to pay a single paisa as fine. I argued saying that I was a responsible citizen and would never do such a thing, and that I had not violated any traffic rule so far. This dose of truth was enough for me to convince the inspector that I was right. He handed over a pink slip to me and said that I could take my vehicle from the parking space of the bus stand.

Within no time we disappeared from the police booth, payed Rs.5/- at the parking lot and escaped from the bus stand. Man ! that was a GREAT ESCAPE and TRIUMPH to TRUTH. Mili had a great experience to carry back with her to Mumbai.
