My bike's RC book is missing. To get a duplicate copy, I have to get a report from police that it is missing. So 2/3 weeks after lodging a complaint, I got that report, finally. But had to bribe the police to get it. I went to police chowki nearby, evening time. Told the hawaldar.. 'Saheb, RC book missing cha report pahije, far diwas zale chakkar martoy'. Hawaldar told me to sit in the corner, because he was busy chatting with his buddies, so I sat next to criminal looking fellas. Police station is not a very good place for work, only two types of ppl come there, either police or criminals, generally speaking.. the Akron police station is much better and stronger looking place, ours here is too shabby, old haweli types, typical sarkari office. (I had gone there only for getting the towed car back with my friend, not for any other business ;-)). so.. our saheb told me 'tu far diwas chakkar martos, apala kaam lawkar zala pahije, tyasathi 2/4 rupaye gele tari chaltil. pan mi tula tuza report deto.' (indicating he needs money). after half hr wait, he managed a clerk write a report for me. and he took the report copy in the hand.. and before he handed it to me
saheb: fee dyawi lagel.
mi: (yacha andaz alach hota, pan cheheryawar ashchryache bhav anat) fee???
saheb: ho.
mi: mala mahit nahi kiti dyayachi aste.. (how much)
saheb: tumhi kiti anle ahet? (how much u got?)
mi: ..
I gave him 50 bucks, as he asked me. He gave me the report. I paid him for doing his job.
