The Cyberabad Police

The Times of India is an interesting newspaper. Highlights the humorous side of human species much better than any other newspapers... the reason, its a hyderabadi paper! True to the word. hyderabadi characters are more caricaturish than anyone else in the world.

Best example... the police. Annoyed that people are giving a damn to them on the road (yes I did last sunday where I jumped red signal and zoomed through on my Activa ;-) even when the cop was helplessly whistling his lungs out), they take revenge, do a two-day exercise shutting down all shops and hotels, the same way viruses crash Windows machines!

Two days down the line, they extend the damn dead-line and take rest. The commissioner gets into the limelight, and cops are happy coz they're getting noticed.

Hyderabadi police might have successfully arrested dancers from pubs and might have managed to have them dance in their offices. But they will surely not be able to control the traffic here. Hyderabad is so unique that people have the traffic sense of Kolkatans and have roads like in California. There's a new entrant in the 'endangered species' list - the hyderabadi doggy. Maneuvering through the rotting corpses of these unfortunate beings during the day time gives you a good idea.

Driving in the night will give you a bad idea instead. Then the rule of majority makes you the unfortunate victim. Dogs will enjoy chasing your a** till you bite the dust. You will not just bite the dust, but will also have to swallow the fact that a few critical bones on your body are beyond broken.

If something of this sort happens, you will get a lot of gawkers and a much needed helping hand is hard to be seen.

Post-script:
The pusillanimous perpetration of the police on the poor public by purging the pubs of pretty phemales is a perfect paradigm for a pitifully petite perspective. Perplexed?
