On our way to Goa last year we were stopped at the border for general checking. I do not object to them as such, helps build the security and keep the highway safe.
The cop asks: “Where are you headed?”
Me: “Margaon, Goa”
Cop: “Where from?”
Me: “Bangalore, Karnataka”
Cop: “Ok go”I start the car and was about to head off into the rain when he violently slaps on the car and screams “Stop, stop, stop”
Cop (pointing to the child seat): “What’s that?”
Me: “A child safety seat!” I expect these guys to know such stuff these days, my mistake.
Cop: “Aur usme kya hai? (And what’s in it?)”
Me (pointing to the already very visible child): “A child!!”
