Ah, Karachi police.
Me and mom in rental car- It's 10 pm and we are returning, we didn't take bridge overpass to Liyari express way, rather we went under it.
Police stopped car, made us reverse, 2 young guys told me and driver to step out. Okay.
Thank god, their senior came and flashed his light inside the car- ' Abey, Ladies hain, ullu , in ko jaanay do '
That look on my face Their face * Priceless *
Now, the other side-
Cousin dropped me to airport early in the morning, on his bike- ( I told mom to let me take a Rickshaw, better, since Metro cabs don't come to Shershah lol )
So, he had a suitcase on handlebar, I had one in my hand. Police stopped us, checked us, my wallet, I kept a strict eye on it, since I had foreign currency with me. I told them I was running late for my flight- which I was.
There were 4 of them- One checking suitcases, one checking me and one checking cousin.
After a few minutes, we were allowed to go. I knew that something was wrong as soon as I sat on the bike again, my foreign currency notes weren't straight- rather a bit crumpled up.
As soon as we entered the airport, I counted the currency- I was 1000 NOK short. At that day, the rate was 1NOK =15.81PKR.
I told my cousin and his jaw dropped- ' Let's go back and question them baskets '
I told him no point, first of all they won't agree, they can arrest us for anything and just waste our time and probably make me miss my flight.
It's written in my destiny and what ever goes around, comes around, just forget it. '
So- I basically just lost 16 grand
I have met some nice ones, especially the ones in Lahore- I don't have a license and I told them I left it in Faisalabad- They just checked my CNIC to see and let me off. I was fined on Canal Road bridge, I made the same mistake on the next underpass, he let me off since I was already fined, without checking Challan or anything.
So- Because of a few idiots, everyone loses their credibility, which I find harsh. But, that's the world we're living in.
End of story.
