My wife and I drove around today just to be with our respective parents and spend some quality time together.
We covered some good distances in-between houses, allowing us a chance to check out stuff going on,on the roads.

The cops were out boy. There were many of them. And they were well placed in different parts of the town.

The cops were out handing pardon sentences for minor offenses. And so it was.

Many pardon sentences were granted to all our “can-never-die-in-road-accidents” dudes tripling out on motor bikes without any helmets. On any other day, 9 out of 10 people typically, can be seen wearing head gear on motorbikes and riding with a single pillion. But today being the 366th day of the year, which is not mentioned in the Indian Constitution; on which God excuses himself from his normal routines at planet earth and on which it is impossible to die in India by a road accident,our boys were high on Marijuana, riding motorbikes with some monkey like charm. And that my friend was ok by the cops.

Brawls, and drink driving/riding on the roads were common feature. One some days , people just have very high entertainment value and on some very high nuisance value. Sometimes, they can be incredibly blessed to, have both on the same day. And so was the case today.

Cannabis,whiskey,beer,”no head gear”,blind cops and who knows what else was a life-saver today, on (Holi day)a great day in the Great Indian Culture.

Oh, and there was colour and some played decent.
