fReAky dAy First "100" Call (911 equivalent in INDIA)
Today when on the way to office at 3:00 PM - i get chased by two in a Royal Enfield !
350 CC Beast ! (I was in a 150 CC kid - Sure - even the hardest try couldn't have succeeded in keeping myself away from them)
They stop me.. in the SIPCOT road - Just near the Arch - No police - No one to help - Fully deserted !
They say - "nillu da - Enna un paattukku periyavara tallittu vandhuttea.. andha aalla hospital kutittu poganum.. "
they claim i hit him near satyabama.. and that i come with them back to the place of accident..
One of them tries to pick the keys out of the bike and other tries to snatch my ID - i manage to save them both !
I say - I never even crossed Sathyabama.. because i was coming from my room(which was so true !).. and there were a lot of other talks..
He started to behave rude..
The alarm rings and I get to ACTION !! :
I dialed "100" !! (India Emergency Help Line - Equivalent to "911" for the US) :
The IVRS asked me to press "1" to continue.. after a brief wait.. a lady picks up and asks me who i am, where i was and what was the emergency about...
i explain them my plight...
they say the jurisdiction belongs to Kanchepuram district.. and that I have to call another number ! (W!F).
I go mad at the help line while trying to bark at these people about "IT WAS NOT ME" thing !
Then the person over the help line over hearing what i was talking, says that those should be the guys who are really drunk and that i just take my bike and leave !
They were so not ready to leave me.. they demanded address ...
i tell them do what you want.. i work for TCS (because they saw my ID - so not a self disclosure - Remember one of them even tried to snatch it - Sure never ever will I wear ID again during drive)
and that I stay in Navalur (Well yeah.. i dont stay in Navalur.. but i pass that place everyday - god save me) !
Then goes the filmy dialogue session :
"enna thaan irunndaalum nee inga thane da irruke paathukurean" !
"police kitta inda bike thaan idichadunu solurean ! avanga kitta peasiko..
whose ever bike it is ask them to be prepared as well !
Then suddenly - one of the two says that they go and hand over the bike number to the cops so that the cops could do the rest !
Damn...
LESSONS LEARNT : "NEVER COME TO OFFICE ON HOLIDAYS - AT LEAST NEVER EVER IN A BIKE WITH TCS ID HANGING LOUD AND BRIGHT"
PS : 100 % Genuine : AGMARK : Real Experience : Drafted FRESH within 30 mins of this nightmarish happening !
PS2 : Do pass to others - so the world could be made SAFE---R !!
PS3 : Thosand periyaar vandakuda maatha mudiyaathu !! (even 1000 periyar cannot change the world - picked from tamil comedy)
