I
saw a photograph of a woman cop officer in a newspaper,
offering a flower to an underage two-wheeler rider during the traffic
week in Sirsa, Haryana. They both wore big smiles. A smiling cop
really deserved to be photographed, as they usually don’t smile.
Though whenever they grin, it means the other person is going to be in
serious trouble. The young rider in My friend Sukha was impressed by this wonderful gesture of the Haryana Police. He immediately rang up the traffic headquarters, congratulated the police personnel on their Gandhigiri ways. He also wanted to know if he would get a bottle of liquor, if he was caught driving after getting drunk during the traffic week. The police officer attending the phone call got confused and told Sukha that they would get back to him after getting a clarification from the DSP traffic. Gandhigiri is an excellent tool to make the offender feel ashamed but not practical in every case. If a rash vehicle runs into you, breaking the bones of your leg, you cannot ask the driver to come again and break the other leg, too, so that your body is balanced properly. Traffic awareness is okay but letting serious traffic offenders off the hook is definitely risky.

the photo had a reason to be
happy. Instead of getting a challan she got flowers and a
polite message that she had violated the traffic rules.
