Then... the next day, I went to the police office and I was greeted by 10 Micro-Bus khaalaasi , probably to support their comrades and two 'Trade Union' guys and the Gaadi-Sahujis!
The driver's wife showed up as well, with her 2 year old Son! And then my another 'enlightenment' process began!
In Nepal, the traffic cops don't do the investigation. It goes to the Nepal Police and the Police doesn't care unless it's some fight between two businessmen and millions of Rupees ko stake! hehehe!
Now the only option was to find a solution! What kind of solution? I really wanted to the driver to be prosecuted for trying to run me over! Then I looked at his wife and kid and that's where this 'human' thing comes to play kyaruh!
I looked at the Gaadi Shauji... a 70 year old grandpa! Then I looked at the Trade Union Officials, two college-kids from Terai! And the police .. where were they? They were busy doing nothing!
The 'Trade Union' guys begged me to free their comrade. The Sahuji begged me to free his 'vehicle' and the wife .. she began to cry!
It took me four hours to decide.. after all, it was up to me. I had two options : A) file a 'Jyan-maara' mudda against the driver B)Let him go and ask the Sahuji to pay my medical bill : not much, just a CT scan, Chest-Xray and TT shot!
First of all, I was grateful to Allah, for I just had a small head injury, chest abrasion and few bruises! My laptop, camera , other stuff all OK! And then I remembered mero bau ko upadesh 'Son, when it comes to looga sooga jutta sutta, buy the best stuff... will be stronger and last longer'
My bag suffered few bruises but was strong enough to protect my laptop,. My jacket had a hole, and so did my sweatshirt but prevented my ribs from breaking... my shoes ma seerif ek-dui hole but it was wearable!
I asked the Police to release them. The Sahuji paid my medical bills even though one 'smart' cop wanted me to claim for everything from laptop to my 'future wife' ko mangalsutra.... I didn't!
But then I asked the 'Trade Union' guys to stay back! I made a deal with them... I want the driver's license to be suspended for six months. I want the 'Union' to start some 'Be polite and Courteous' program. I want them to train these folks from 'Jungalis' to 'decent human beings'..
They agreed..... I have given them a week for them to send the license to the Baggi-Khaana for suspension. I have offered to help the 'comrades' to give 'how to be a decent person' training... let's see how it goes!
