Size does matter

The Delhi police have admitted that big car parking in no – parking zones have a far better chance of getting away from the clutches of tow – way cranes than small cars. They want us to know and they are ‘with us for us always’ – that this disparity stems from the fact they don’t have enough bigger cranes necessary to tow away – you guessed it – bigger car. And the reason why the city police don’t have is because “smaller cranes are easier to man oeuvre in congested roads“. Which make complete sense, only if you’re Delhi police personnel, that is?

On the face of it, the cranes are to blame. But is it really about hydraulics and pulleys and weight age or something more finely ingrained in the brains of all dilliwalas – policemen included? Big cars belong to big people who need not to be messed around with. And even if they aren’t the cat’s whiskers, a big car is a big car worthy of its owner being simply because he’s ‘made it‘. The big car- small car social disparity is, of course mirrored across all other lines.

So in this great socialistic country of ours, to be rich is not only fun, but it’s also protective. Why else do you think poor people want to be rich? Not only to buy goodies, but also to get away with the shortening – lengthening arm of law. Beware future Nano owners.
