I just want to give one of thoe 'only in India stories'.
Today I spebt 4 hours in a police station. My landlord decided that he wanted to mive back into the apartment that i am renting. So he just showd up, changed the locks and wouldnt let me back in. This was with all my stuff in the apartment including my passport and various travel and residency documents . This guy was really rude and arrogant when it happened and for some reason was not going to give anything of mine back.
Well this guy had not factored on a few things:
1. What he did is considered breaking and entering here 2. 'Stealing' a passport is a serious offence. 3. It is unwise to screw with a foriegn national 4. My partner is very good friends with the head cop in the state that I live in.
So th end result of all of this is that my landlord is now in jail and will stay there until i withdraw my compaint. BTW I have been told to not to do this for a week so he 'learns' his lesson. Oh and I am back in my apartment. The other thing is that the everyone ele on this apartment complex is now scared of me because aprantly I can weild police power - LOL. It was very interesting, three police cars, two bikes and a whole collection of police confronted this guy and he got dragged away in cuffs. I didnt want any of this to happen, I really just wanted somewhere to sleep tonight - LOL. Oh and the guy on the other side of the corridor (who was apparantly watching for when i left this morning to let the lndlord know) is offering me gifts as apparantly he is afraid he will go to jail next. Oh at times you just have to love this place.
Anyway nothing to so wth dbing, but for me a very interesting night.
Andrew
