Bollywood Police

All of us must have observed that in Bollywood films the police comes exactly 10 seconds (that too in that strange blue 1950s jeep) after the hero has beaten all 100 villains into pulp and when the lovely damsel is giving loving (oh my hero) looks to the mildly hurt hero. The police is always bloody late. Have you ever wondered WHY??? I have found out the answer to that mystery. Just remember...you read it here first.

Its because the police was stuck in the traffic jam in the road outside and the traffic refused to give way!!!! The cars in front kept hearing the police behind them but the roads were so clogged that there was no way anyone could have let the police car go. So there you have it. Thats the reason why the police is always late and given the way traffic is in India, it will never be on time. I find this thing so sad that it's almost funny. Imagine this - someone you love is in grave danger and the police is just 10 seconds late.

What is the root cause? Poor infrastructure planning and no standards for infrastructure development. My friend AKD will again bring up our lovely politicians and I will agree with him wholeheartedly.
