It is indeed most heartening; encouraging and gratifying to note or then highlight the fact that our much maligned and vilified men in khakhi do indeed play peacemakers and mediators between warring/sparring families as and when the same catches their fancy.......
Believe it or not Aurangabad (Maharashtra) police personnel discharged this unenviable and thankless role when they were confronted with the hideous demeaning spectacle of two squabbling inexorably or then inextricably interlinked couples almost coming to blows on a fateful and eventful late Tuesday morning as two members (one male and one female belonging to each family had seemingly committed the unpardonable and heinous crime of falling head over heels for each other).......
According to senior police officials matters came to a head on the above/afore mentioned morning when the 21 year old male member belonging to one of the closely related families and his 20 year old female cousin who belonged to the second family in question deigned or then dared to commit the cardinal sin of spending some quality time with each other by vrooming off on the male's trusted motorcycle at around 9 am or so on Tuesday morning......
A so called well wisher of the young lady's family happened to spot them heading of on their idyllic tryst and took unto himself the onerous and supposedly "honourable" task of informing the lady's incensed and harrowed family members about her antics and completely oblivious to the devious machinations of the damsel's chagrined family members the lovey dovey couple were soon brought down from their dream like pedestal when they found themselves surrounded on all sides by the 20 year old's family members who then proceeded to literally drag her away from the spot by her hair........
In the meanwhile; the 21 year old male's family members who were similarly alerted by a self anointed and appointed well wisher also happened to arrive at the very same spot and a free for all ensued for the next fifteen minutes or so before the cops who were alerted by concerned and perturbed bystanders arrived at the spot........
Better sense and sanity ultimately prevailed when the denizens of the two fratricidal families and the cousins who were hopelessly smitten with each other were unceremoniously bundled off to the nearest police station in the four waiting police vehicles and sagely counselled to the effect that they could not legally separate the couple against their express wishes and consent as the two of them were majors and hence legally ordained with the right of choosing their respective life partners........
Realising that their game was up or their goose was cooked the two crestfallen and increasingly sheepish interrelated families made their inglorious exit from the said police thana while holding out the promise of letting bygones be bygones and letting the youngsters have their own way........
One only hopes and prays that wiser counsel prevails within the rank and file of the now infamous two families and that the trusting couple does not end up on the desecrated and despicable altar of honour or then should I say dishonourable killings which seem to have become the order of the day........
