Techie vs. Student
I was called by the Police for the address verification for my passport renewal. So, when I went to their, the Inspector was carrying out the address verification of a Techie working with a software giant (I overheard their discussion). The Inspector asked the Techie to pay him Rs.500 for the job done and faithfully the Techie delivered it....!
Next on the waiting list was me. I was in my student days then (2008). After my document verification, Inspector wanted to extend the discussion to make me stay and then he asked for the "usual". I replied as per the rules, there is no fees to be paid to the Police Department for the verification process. The Inspector stared at me and said: "you talking abt Rules.. huh..?!?". And continued to say after a pause and smile: "Its GOOD that you are following the right path and continue to be on this path to the rest of your life....!"
By challenging him, I made sure I did not pay the bribe.
Added to which we must be aware of the system to cross-question the so-called mighty ppl.
I feel: We have to challenge the people, the system... then only, we can survive...!
