I am introducing the new character called Bantu. This is one of his real life incidents.
His travel was planned well in advance but he hasn’t booked the ticket thinking that “He will get the ticket very easily”. But your luck will not be in your favour every time because it’s luck. :) :)
With the waiting ticket, he got into the train and standing on the connection of the two bogies of the train. Thinking that today he has to go the whole way by standing like this. And suddenly the Ticket checker of the train for that particular bogie came.
Bantu asked him that “Is there any seat available? My ticket is in waiting list.”
TC replied:” No sir...!”
Then Bantu asked “Dekhona sir… if any cancellation of tickets…”
TC replied: “Then… you have to give me 200 bugs”
He suddenly got a jerk. He hasn’t meant in that direction. What is this? He thought that government has just increased 80% (biggest rise which he ever saw in the government job) rise into their salary and still this bugger asking for more money.
Even He saw many people giving him money to get the seat. He thought that there is no active law (of course a passive one is there) placed for this bribery happening in train. Even the police man who were there to save any accident which may happened in to the train were also part of this wonderful bribe game.
Bantu didn’t take the seat and sitting somewhere and thinking. Below is the thought running in his mind.
{
Don’t you think so that we are the biggest culprit to make this system really worse just for the sake of our flexibility and selfish advantages?
The whole night he was thinking about how we can fight against this. He recalled the movie called “Hindustani”. In that movie, a freedom fighter was killing both persons – “the one who is asking for bribe and the one who is offering bribe”.
Later on He thinks that it is not the practical solution. So, what can you do?
Then he realized that next time he has to book his ticket well in advance. So that he will easily get rid of this kind of thoughts or incidents. – Mostly all Indian ends up thinking like this.

What else we can do..?
This is one more incident I can add in my post “Have to be an Indian while you are in India”.

//..and still this bugger asking for more money.
Is he called a bugger because he asks people to give him bugs ? ;)
BTW there is a comment you left on my post. Something to do with 'culture'. What's it supposed to mean? Was it really meant for my post, my blog. Or were you multitasking ;)?
If its intentional, let me know what it means.
If its accidental, do not delete it. A funny souvenir ;).
@stupidosaur:
I will definitely pass on your question to Bantu..?
It seems currently he is very busy.. :) :)
Regarding comment on your blog..I have come across similar culture where linguistic liberty allowed and people start pronouncing something different...:) :)
And, in your two option - intensional or accidental - again giving liberty to you..whatever you want to choose... :)
By the way.. Welcome to my Blog... :)
