15 can save you a 1000

Yesterday....
I did not sleep in the afternoon as i had missed two classes earlier because of it!
So i stayed awake till 5 pm n then picked up my book put on my shoes... got on my scooty n left for my class. The place is very close to my place but i prefer not to walk. Just across the small two wheeler bridge "used" to be a police checking barrier... but now for a month or so it wasn't there
so i had my license, registration, insurance... but not my pollution under control receipt....n this time the cops were there :( ... so i thought i'll take a chance n went on hoping they wouldn't ask for it. I had hoped for a bit too much i guess. They cut a ticket for me. I had requested the officer to try n find an alternative(read bribe)...well maybe because it was independence day or maybe some stupid reason he refused my offers!!... so i reached my class a lil late n my friends tell me that i'll have to pay Rs.1000 got get my license back(had never ever dreamed it would be that much).
Then i went home. I knew i had to pay from my own pocket money but i still tried my luck by asking my parents for some financial help. Then i thought i'll get the pollution check up done n get the receipt. The gey at the booth took Rs 15 n gave my a receipt. Yes he did not even checkmy vehicle!!
it was a sad day.
