All of generalize and how!
Well! I too am guilty of it, but when it comes to the Men in Uniform I am not keen on slotting them into one general category. Here's proof of why I am right!
On 30th December 2015, as I rode my Activa towards the Oshiwara Pul on the S.V Road I was stopped by a raiding team for riding without a helmet!, I don't know why but I happened to glance towards the name plate and remembered only the 2nd part of the name as "Shaikh'!!
Traffic Constable Shaikh was if anything quiet apologetic that he had to stop me and in fact asked me if I would pay Rs.100/- the fine for travelling without a helmet. I promptly agreed and he was taken aback as he said they do not stop women riders/drivers as they either flee or get into an argument.
I replied since I knew the mistake is mine, I was definitely going to pay the fine. He wrote out the Receipt and handed it over to me, I wished him for the New Year! and off I went, nearing Ram Shyam /Jogeshwari Telephone exchange some thing made me check my sling bag for my licence and I couldn't find it!
The Next day 31st Dec 2015 I left late for work and at the point where the new East West bridge of Jogeshwari meets the S.V Road I chanced upon two Traffic Police personnel, I related the happening of the previous day and told them that all I remember that his name is "Shaikh' What luck they said he would be on duty at the Ram Shyam /Jogeshwari Telephone exchange signal so off I went!
Didn't see any Traffic cops at the signal so turned right towards the Jogeshwari Telephone exchange main gate, only to see a traffic cop enter the gate and get into the bldg, checked with the security and they said he would come out in a matter of moments, when he did not come I inquired again, to which one of the security personnel went inside to seek the Traffic cop and came out with a message that "Shaikh' had gone to a gallery nearby for some cellphone related work. I waited some more, after some time when the Taffic cop who had gone inside came out he told me see Shaikh is sitting there at the turning towards the S.V. Road I went to see and found a different person. I said this is not the Shaikh from yesterday! then they said then how do we know who it is, is he a rider or what. Nonetheless they guided me to the traffic office below the bridge near Andheri Rly stn. But me like any other citizen did not.
Today 11 Jan 2016 afternoon I was at the office lunch table and when I came back after lunch I saw a missed call from my Mai' when I called her back she said 'Shabeer Shaikh ' had come to return my Driving Licence!!!
So you see Not all in the Police Force are bad, incompetent or heartless!
