I once had to appear before a judge in a local court for a crime that I had committed.

My crime? I rode my two-wheeler with pillion. That was in 2021 lockdown when it was not allowed. And, it wasn't only the seat I was sharing with my pillion, but according to the Indian court, 2 people sitting on a bike somehow spread COVID.

Anyway, I confessed to the crime to the justice who was remote working through zoom. I was ordered to pay a fine of 500. I came outside to pay that. The cop, however, demanded 1300. I inquired why. He told me writer se leke upar judge tak sabka commission including hai.

I could have avoided all this trouble if I didn't let the cop confiscate my driving license.

Me and my sister once took a taxi from a park after family outing as they were heading different direction.

The taxi in those days had meter but not digital ones so we discuss the price with them at the start only.

Then as we drove away after our goodbyes.
..the taxi guy started demanding more money.
I said no way...joh baat Hui unltna hi denge.

He took us through same lanes in Salt Lake ( Kolkata) is anyone is from Kolkata will know Salt Lake is very confusing specially for people not staying there .

He dropped us at a city mall 50 meters from police booth.

And said pay.
I said no way you didn't drop us where we wanted to go. You dropped us where you wanted to go.

We got physical ..luckily I asked my sister to go across the road and be in the crowd.

As we got in pushing and all. Other Taxi wala came and started gharoing us..and they almost got close to me.

Till police came and put both of us down on ground and took us to police station.

Within 5 mins the taxi walas union came to save him. While my family was arranging lawyer and other contacts.

He even went to say that I was doing wrong things at the back of the taxi .

Police was almost upon me but my family managed a high court judge called the police station and get the case closed.

Without contact I would have been falsely accused that day .

Next day I had to gift the judge box of dry fruits set costing me Rs 3500 something as a token of thanks.

The taxi wala was asking Rs 200 when we got into fighting.

Imagine this..I paid 3500 without any fault and taxi wala got away thanks to his union baji.

Next time I might just give 200-300 only.

I can't believe you didn't recognize this or haven't seen it before.

Really day after day when I think "Ab isse jyada kya hi bura ho jayega desh main", I got another depressing news.
- Few animals are raping left, right, centre
- Neta's filling their locker like uppar le ke jayenge
- Youth are not able to find naukri
- Gaali-Galotch, Unclean society, Roads
- Civic sense

I mean literally what are those things which I can proudly say about our country or myself as well.

I might have missed it.

I have Russian coming for trekking and all...I'm bit worried and giving them all the information I can do that they don't get cheated and avoid traffics etc ..

Like take metro from here. Use uber avoid this and that. Try to reach early if you taking bus.

I don't want them to have bad experience even though recently many foreigners are not so happy with Indian visit.

On youtube and all to get likes and views from India they may say good things but when they write blogs and all in their language they have some negative things about India too which is clearly saying...avoid India.

Any advocate worth their salt would always suggest to solve the matter within yourselves and to not involve police/judiciary.

And a lesson for you from next time, don't get physical with these moronic dehatis, chote log chote hi rahenge, they'll never change, also if something like this happens again, immediately stop the cab and get off of it, and start recording on your phone. recording is your greatest weapon, even the biggest netas are scared of a mobile phone, specially in these days of social media where even an innocent video can be taken out of context and invite judiciary action.

And I don't know about Kolkata, but atleast anything happens in UP, call 112 and communicate the issue to them, a case gets registered when you do so and it creates a paper trail, these thulle will either not register a FIR or demand money from you, but nothing lights a fire under their asses than a paper trail because then they gotta submit a report on the action they took after 112 call.


And lastly, you learned the best lesson any businessman in India learns in their first week, "akele katoge, Saath bachoge", you'll always be screwed alone, you need people who will stand with you if you want to survive in India and even anywhere in the world tbh

This is bound to happened when govt. total focus is on taxing middle class as much as possible. Specially salaried people because there they already have a process or easy to tax them. However mostly middle class is spender on these kind of services.
It's just like jo office main jyada kaam karta hai, usse aur jyada kaam milta hai.
 

Pune, 3rd May 2025: Just a day after its grand inauguration, the newly constructed flyover on Sinhagad Road witnessed severe traffic congestion, defeating its very purpose of easing the local commute. The flyover, expected to cut travel time to under five minutes, ended up causing delays of over 30 minutes as vehicles piled up in long queues stretching nearly a kilometre from the Vadgaon Signal Bridge.

Quoting myself,
...India suffers from it. It means the development is never done, it's always in process. Politicians show you cool dream of development, which for example, includes building a bridge. That bridge creates more problems than it solves as there was no study was done beforehand. Now, to solve those new problems, new supplementary bridges/underground roads are built. The development never stops. These new developments/tunnels etc become obsolete even before they are completed...

This is a dangerous trend.

Still, I think, what's happening in India isn't comparable with China. China didn't overlook its main cities while building infra out in the nowhere.

Although yellow cabs can be a hassle sometimes, they are still slightly cheaper than app-based aggregators. No matter how frustrated I may get at some of their behavior, I always stay polite. It works every time because they can only do so much when you're calm. They can't even play the blame game, then. The cabbie will back off himself. It works every time for me.
