organized crime

hi there, im in gwalior right now, and just as i was getting on the train i witnessed such an awesomely huge act of corruption it makes me cringe, my Bro's friend had come to drop us both to the station, and as he was leaving, two men just caught hold of him and asked him to show his mobile phone to them, they showed their ID as government people....now, he showed them the phone, and they looked thru everything, and they found a pornographic clip in it (no surprise, who doesnt have them nowadays???) and they said - "this is a cybercrime, you will have to pay us about 10,000 fine, or atleast 5,000", they also checked my bro's phone but didnt get anything, now, we discussed it with him (our friend, inside the train, with the men waiting outside) and told him to not give them a penny (we know the law has nothing against accessing and creation of pornography where the participant is above 18 years of age:-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pornography_laws_by_region), and say that you want to talk to your dad and/or lawyer, so he went out, first tried to coax them into letting him go with simple pleas, and then, he told them - "ok, gimme my phone ill call my dad", so they said "won't your dad scold you???" so he said "yeah, maybe slap me a bit, but i have to give the money to the government don't i??" and so they reluctantly gave him the phone, and as he started dialing the number - "ok ok we'll let you go" they said, and then, sure as hell they did!!!

now, this shows clearly that these people were under the impression that our friend is a "delinquent-dad-fearing-rich-spoilt-kid" and that to keep this 'matter' away from his dad he will just give them the cash, this is high level corruption people, just demand to see your lawyer and these bastards piss their pants, they just play on emotions and the fear of ppl's 'reputation' being tossed, and cmon, our friend here is a bloody 26 year old bloke, not a kid.....

ok, besides that, this 'train' took me and my bro to gwalior, our home town, pretty uneventful train journey (how boring!!) now im home, the weather here is raw heat most of the time, some new shops have opened up in gwalior, and now my favourite fruit is available here, the majestic kiwi!!!! i just fixed up my year old guitar, and have been trying to 'online-teach' myself some basic chords etc. ill join proper classes in pune when i go back, one day i wanna play "you belong to me" by jason wade (of lifehouse) perfectly, one of my fav acoustic guitar songs, by now, ive achieved just the first few notes, self-learning guitar is hell!!! my nani (my mom's mom) is here too, and man, im so happy to see so much bloody food in the house!! in my pune apartment i had just tomatoes and those soup powders, but this place is stocked like anything, and as i entered my home, i fell in love with my plasma tv all over again (sigh) i was tellin my bro "just look at it, just look at that damn thing!!!" like a crazy person, its like a wierd fetish you know, you can never be truly happy without a plasma TV (My philosophy) first thing im buying when i start earning is one, hehe. i couldnt be more of a movie/TV buff, wish my dad would filthily spoil me and my bro, heehee, then we wud have a plasma in the apartment, ok, enough with the TV.

again, i have run out of things to say, as i said, uneventful = boring......

and yeah, apparently sepehr an mani are 'divorced' (had to enter a random stupid thing, gotta keep my blog interesting)

and yeah, not all my posts have to do with corruption, its just that corruption has to do with everything, so its kinda unavoidable sometimes.....

leave comments people.......
