When Rules were Obeyed

It's the first working day of 2012. I got up little late in the morning and as usual was late for office. last night I slept with the thought, tomorrow I will be in office by 10.30 but it didn't happen. I quickly got ready and while getting my bike keys I realised there would be very less petrol in my bike. Well as already late, i decided not to go filling petrol but right away leave for office.

Plugged in music.. I was getting onto riding mode and feeling relaxed. All the work worries went off my head while listening to my fav music list. And wow, one by one all traffic signals were feeling green like forever - Seeing me!!! I reached the Bombay Sappers signal almost in 15 minutes. I realized there are a unusual Number of Traffic Cops and Other Cops there. I suddenly felt nervous, as I did not get my bike's PUC (Pollution Under Control) done!! Aha, god not today, I don't even have enough petrol to run away!! And on top of that, signal -- Red!!! All Goodness!! The traffic cops waved hands to me to stop.

The Officer started saying something with all teeth out, smiling!! I couldn't hear because of loud music in my ears and already nervous!! I stopped and got my ear plugs out. Aha... The cops are with roses in their hands!!! Amazing.. The officer came to me and greeted me with pleasure " Wish you a very happy and safe new year Mam, and on the behalf of the entire Pune traffic control, we thank you for wearing a helmet while riding" 

Whoa!! The group came to me and gifted me some nice fresh red roses and a new year card!!

One of the cops clicked some pics while the group was giving me roses and greeting!! After all, I started my bike again, trying to realize what just happened!! I started my first work day of the year with greeting from the traffic cops!!! That too without having a PUC in my pocket!!!

After all rules are made to keep ours lives safe, and all those cops standing under scorching sun, bolt n thunder to make sure we are safe!!!
