she breaks signals and heartsSaturday, September 30, 2006

right after the main avari/metropole signal..
traffic policeman waves and stops car

exasperated kirna glares angrily and rolls down window
"what's wrong with you? why'd you stop me?"

traffic policeman: erm, you broke a signal?

kirna: what signal are you talking about?

tp: the one right there? in front of avari?

k: oh come come, i didn't break any signal

tp: yes, you did. it was red and you passed by.

k: no no, i'm telling you i didn't break it!

tp: but it was red and you still drove! ofcourse you broke it!

k: no, see.. i didn't SEE the signal. i didn't SEE it was red.. so TECHNICALLY, i did not break it

*traffic policeman gives up, decides not to argue anymore*

tp: do you have a driver's license?

k: yes

tp: well, you're going to have to give it to me

k: no.

tp: what dyou mean no? you broke a signal?

k: i keep telling you i did NOT break it, i just didn't SEE it! i'm not giving you my driver's license.

*traffic policeman very angry now.. just strolls in front of the car and starts writing number plate down on challan*

*kirna very, very angry*

k: what the hell are you doing! you can't cut some stupid challan, i didn't break any laws!

tp: madam, mei aapko kis terha bataoon, aapney tora hai signal.

*kirna very hungry and tired and cranky so finally gives up*

k: acha.. let me make a call.

*calls DIG's son and hand tp the phone*

*tp talks for the longest time, hands back the phone with a huge apologetic grin*

tp: aray behan, aap pehlay bata deyteen.. sorry, hamsey ghalti ho gai. aap jaiyey, ofcourse aapney signal nahi tora :)

k: mei aapko itni deir sey kia samjha rahi thi. aainda khayal rakhiyay ga.
