Hey alll,
I know.... A very odd time to make a posting.... even more odd considering the setting..... Mid morning on Monday...... well the reason warrants it.......
For the uninitiated, i stay in BTM Stage 2, Blore..... the Forum is hardly 2 kms away from here..... and my best friend and my fiancee
P) were dieing to see the "Superman Returns" So we decided to take the plunge and bought 3 night-show tickets (all others were sold out for Sunday.)
Since Autos charge insanely after 9PM, we decided to take a "short cut" along side the big BP petrol pump to Forum. + 3 riders..... while going there was no issue....... so we thought, cool, Rs 50 saved (for Auto)
Movie over, we are all floaty and all.... fine and dandy.... returning via same route.... and guess what? Police check. My friend was driving.... i was sitting behind him.... my gf behind me. He panicked and drove throught the blockade.... they caught up with us and banged my friend up...... slaps, lathis and everything. Then as soon as we offered money.... they smoothed out...... a lot of words later, they emptied my purse (Rs 700 in it.) My friend luckily didnt have any cash on him.
Total cash:
Tickets = Rs 150 x 3
"Fine" = Rs 700
First time encounter and lesson learned = Priceless!
Regards and out,
Karan
