Well, good to know the milkman apologized, for whatever it's worth. Agree with your reasons for not pursuing it further, though I also feel it is a pity. But, it's good to know that there is someone who makes a fight out of these things - naysayers be damned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125821.post-61093983142244159102007-02-28T11:21:00.000+05:302007-02-28T11:21:00.000+05:30Hey man, I've been reading your blog for quite som...Hey man, I've been reading your blog for quite some time now... I know you've heard this before, but you've done a great thing... That milkman will now think twice before overcharging someone! <BR/><BR/>I fight for my rights too.. even though I haven't gone to the extent of hiring a lawyer... if an auto guy refuses to ply or charge me excess, I make sure I put up a fight with him and let him know I'm taking down his license details .. I've even called the Legal Metrology @ 22207750 right in front of the driver, but no one has ever picked up the call at the other end. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, I appreciate what you're doing and it's a great inspiration to small fighters like me :-) Maybe we should form a small non-profit organization to fight stuff like this.<BR/><BR/>And lastly, your decision on a compromise is indeed the right thing to do.. I would've done the same thing.. I wouldn't risk any harm to my wife or to myself, for that matter..Retail Couponshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251526006600702618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125821.post-86979922958764802422007-02-27T21:42:00.000+05:302007-02-27T21:42:00.000+05:30Thatz reasonable and good to hear.

The driver didn't lose his job, he was suspended. Last I knew, suspended means "a temporary debarment", like being suspended from school for bad behavior.

What you would have is a string of abuses, uncouth behavior, no remorse or explanation of why he was driving rash, and threats that you can call up whoever you want to, right there in front of him, why he will even offer you his phone to call up the commissioner of police, the inspectors are his personal friends, the do-whatever-you-will attitude that is so prevalent. I have stopped to talk to call center vehicle drivers many times. What Ravi is doing is the right thing.

And I also read the post you put up with the driver. Not sure if I would agree with the other. The driver is losing his job and he maybe the only source of income to his family. Had the guy tried to talk to the driver instead of going after his job ... wonder would that have changed his attitude towards reckless driving. I think loss of job from his point of view would fall into the rich-poor divide. Guess the doodwallah,though humbled, would be feeling the same. I am happy you did take the fight to him, but arent we fighting the battle against the insignificant, I am sure one would not have gone against a big shark.
