Today I read this little piece in the newspaper and it made me change my view on traffic cops in India..
When an auto-rickshaw driver yelled at a cop 'I hope you will die in a road accident!' after being fined for failing to run the fare meter, he got a lecture in return from the smiling cop instead.
"Brother, please pray for the day to come soon. It's better than controlling traffic for long hours without rest or leave, and being abused and cursed by people like you. If I die on duty, my wife will receive insurance and my son will get a government job and everything will be fine." The rickshaw driver said sorry to the officer and left the scene in a huff.
