Today was differnt. Nothing seemed to be working, right from XML parser. Went to cricket practice in the evening and had had to return from there early, because had that important meeting with my manager. On my way back I was thinking that I don't have license, and now if I get caught will really have to run to office. Think about dreams coming true.. While I was thinking so and waiting for the signal to turn green, a police came and asked for my license. I did not have it, parked my bike at the police station, and literally ran to the office. Before leaving, the police reminded me to bring 100 bucks as the penalty.

I came back, made to that 7 o'clock meeting, found out that it got rescheduled. Went back to the police. When I reached there, one old fellow was arguing with the cop saying how he knows high post officers and trying to get rid of the fine. In this discussion I showed police my license and gave 100 bucks as the fine. This officer told that old man as how honest I was. He let that other fellow go. Then turned to me. He said that very few people actually give fine without hesitation, and he was impressed. He asked me what to do. I said, sir, this never happens with me, alll due to cricket practice I forgot my wallet. He said, ok I will let you go. I thanked him and came back. This was very nice of him. He could have easily got fine from me, I was willing to pay also, but in the end that was a nice gesture from him. I felt good.
