It dint seem like a wait........
I was reminded of this old incident while riding and I was at a signal. A very close friend of mine and me were at the same signal a few months ago, it was a traffic jam as always and we were hungry.Both of us are observant and look around at people and were looking at the very busy traffic which was being guided by a traffic police man, who looked very typically Indian with his huge belly falling out. Our eyes stuck to the traffic police man who stood guiding and monitoring the traffic but in a very different style. His actions to guide the traffic seemed like he was dancing and to add to that were his expressions.
We just continued to watch the police man and waited for his hilarious actions that matched his expressions one after the other. We did not take note of the time as we watched this unique person. But soon it was our end of the traffic that was signaled move ahead and I looked out of the window to have a last glimpse at the wonderful police man.....I turned and looked at my friend and we laughed all throughout till we finished our lunch and even now laugh at it when ever we are reminded of this incident......May be he was trying to enjoy his job and we enjoy it even to this day. The traffic jams in Bangalore are very unpleasant, especially when one is hungry. But this one dint seem like a wait !!

Yummy Badam milk!! Another encounter with an Indian traffic controller.This time it was in the heart of the city, Avenue road which is a puzzle with the 'one way' lanes changing on an hourly basis. At about 7pm my brother and myself ended up here doing some last minute shopping for medicines before his travel to the US. It was a hunt for a specific medicine from a specific store. To top it all it was raining.We were both enjoying the rain and it was not barricade for our search.
With all these happenings around us a 'one way' is where we entered without noticing the sign board. As expected we were caught by the police. My little bro dint have any of the documents and was riding with a learners license.
We parked the vehicle aside and stood inside a sweet shop for our interrogation! Now we were questioned by the police man.The usual questioning form the police started......from where?, why?, for what? and we are both too good at this and we gave him the perfect impression........well I would say we hit the bull's eye! ;) Why bull's eye is because, we answered so well that the police man offered us to have nice and cold Badam milk at the sweet shop where we were standing (which was yummy!) and was sympathetic about collecting a fine from us!!(We could not do much as he had written a receipt as soon as he noticed us!)
A healthy Badam milk, shelter when it was raining, some friendly talks with a police man and all the attention form people around at Rs 100/-!! ;)
These are just a few wonderful incidents and I put them on the blog for people who know to live life for the "present"!!
Cheers to life!
