God play his dice so wisely that he could bring an interesting experience in our life in no time. Similar experience happen to me last week when I was traveling from Bangalore to Erode. It was past 6 PM when I reached krishnagiri, as I was driving my car slowly near krishnagiri toll gate one police constable stopped my vehicle and inquired where I am going, I replied him that I am traveling Erode. He said one of his senior police officer will board on my car and will get down in Salem. I wanted to say no as I felt it is not appropriate to board some unknown person in late evening that too when traveling alone. But the policeman didn't give a chance to speak at all, so I don't have any other option than accepting it. In a minute a tall police officer(definitely more than 6 feet) boarded my car and sat in co-driver seat. Immediately my car was given special way in toll and they didn't collect fee also.
As the vehicle moving i inquired him where he want to get down, he replied that he wanted to get down in Salem with firm voice. Hearing that i was telling myself that next 2 hours is going to be uncomfortable where i could not even hear any songs. Few mins passed on, suddenly he pulled a pen drive from his pocket and plugin in to my music player and said hear some good Ilaiyaraja songs. With smile i replied, my pen drive have full of Ilaiyaraja songs. As we move on song started playing, first song started with Raja voice 'Seru pon maniyum puthu isaiyum' and followed 'Naan Thedum Sevanthi poovithu'. We started discussing the nuances in the song and that break the barrier between us. Now with mild voice he asked me 'Why don't let me drive and you sit & enjoy the songs'. With little hesitation i said ok and he took the driver seat. For a beginner level driver like me his driving looked more professional.
With Raja song playing in the background we started exchanging name and other details. He started sharing his experience of college life and how he entered in to police department and his 16 years of journey there. Variety of topic like current education system, life style were discussed, I could easily sense his self confidence and patriotism in his speech which are very important quality for a police officer. Now and then he was giving some good driving practices.
He was asking about where i am working and how my daily work in office would be. As i was explaining about work and work from home option he was taken back and started telling that he is out of home last 12 days on investigation of a murder case in Salem and he added that he was longing to meet his kids. Lesson for me here, if you complaint about difficulty in your current job think of someone who is handling more difficulty than you. Life is equally challenge for everyone.
As the discussion continues he said he recently completed his doctorate in one of the university in Salem. I was taken back and asked how it is possible for you finish doctorate in his busy schedule and he replied it is his childhood dream to do doctorate. Again a lesson for me, how busy your schedule is if you are passionate you can do whatever your want.
As we are nearing Salem i asked him whether he is ok to give his contact number, without hesitation he said i am good friend of you now so don't have problem in giving contact details. Soon phone numbers were exchanged and he was showing his kids photos that he had in his mobile. Before getting down he gave some landmark in salem where i can take good tea break if i need one. He got down in Salem with his Cap on his head.
