I love driving down with my father in our car.It is a Maruti 800. It takes on to the road like a fish to water.My dad drives at a moderate speed.Once We were driving from Chennai to Bangalore.It was a smooth traffic free road. Near Chittoor there was a check-post and we were asked to furnish papers. The authorities were looking for liquor in our car. Having found none, they were dis-appointed at not getting any thing. One of them came to my dad and offered liquor! I was surprised at the way in which the matter took a new turn! He went to the next higher person and reported up on the person who offered liquor, who also turned a deaf ear. He told them that if the authorities violate law, who is to question? They told him that they want to sell confiscated liquor to those who want the same at a premium. We left the place and I felt that my dad did the right thing.
