Our dearest Delhi Police, always with us…

Our dearest Delhi Police, always with us…

Delhi Police, "With you for you always."

Well is this a quote by Delhi Police or a saying?

A true fact says, one reaches to the police post after a lot of hardships but after reaching there people have to face a lot of hardships dealing with them.

Well here are two separate incidents relating to Delhi Police lets have a look.


One day a girl lost her mobile phone on her way to home. Like a responsible citizen she informed the nearest Police station that her cell is stolen and is in a working condition. But to there usual reply they did not took any action and asked the girl to submit an application with her mobile details.

After requesting them to file an FIR, she was told that they just provide a stamp on application; as you just need to retrieve the same mobile number. And the matter got dumped. And to her bad fate she accepted loosing her mobile phone costing Rs. 10,000/-. But do you think she will ever come back to this police station. Thinking she will get justice!


NO. I don't think so. Never.

To our next take is another girl. On a beautiful evening a girl got out of her home to do her regular chores. For her purchases she withdrew some money from the ATM. And then goes a dramatic scene.

Moving out from the ATM a little boy traced her and in the middle of the road snatched her wallet and ran away. This brave girl chased him to a long distance until the public realized what was going on and helped her to get hold of the thief. After a lot of effort she got her wallet and money back. But she never wanted the same thing to repeat again with anyone else so she called up 100 and asked the police personnel to come and arrest the culprit.


But that clever thief started crying immediately as it was his regular part of job. People near by made him sit waiting for the police to arrive. But her efforts were in vain and until 10 minutes there was no police in sight. The thief was also carrying a bottle of drugs with him and started vomiting immediately. Seeing this girl got scared. And public asked her to leave saying they will handle the police.

But our Delhi Police made no appearance up till 20 minutes after which we really don't know what happened just that thief ran away as he was a small child and use to do this on regular basis.

Who is concerned about taking care of public. What about their motto; which says we stand for you.

Well these are two small incidents.

Now here are some questions.

How safe and comfortable we are with Delhi Police presence?

What are they doing to take care of the public?

In their presence itself why there is a rise in burglaries?

I really don't have an answer then how the motto says "With you for you always." Where are they when we need them or when we think they should be in action?

Too many questions but who will give the answers?

These are two small incidents, like these girls there are many who loose a lot of things regularly. They are too many things happening all around us. But who is taking care?

We have too many news related to thefts today but at the end; all is just dumped in files. In the past few years there had been a steady increase in number of thefts, chain snachings and muggery. But what role is Delhi Police playing to help public.

Or they are enjoying their positions and waiting for the festive time to come and extract money from public.

Right from the childhood I have always thought Police is here to protect us but as i grew up looking at what type of protection we have, I think NONE, period.

Find an artist in yourself!

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

Thinking about art! What is the first thing that appears in your mind?
A Painting, music, statute or any literary work!

Well all of us when think about art just take it in aspect of painting or sculpture making. Art is not always stuck to one thing. It is creativity. It is imagination but it is not junk.

Imagination has no limit. It encircles the world. It is not scarp it is a creativity which can be seen. The only difference exists between a human or an artist is! Art is a profession for an artist and art is enjoyment for human being. But each one of us has art inside us. Every individual is an artist in itself.

We think only an artist can imagine the beautiful pictures. That’s not so. We are similar to them its just he has that uniqueness in him. And he has chosen it as his profession.

Art is not a show or fun. It is a profession for some and hobby for many. It is always interesting. I am not an artist by profession but still I love it. I love watching paintings, admiring someone dancing, beautiful sculptures and wonderful writers too. I am fond of beautiful paintings.

It is not my profession; it’s just my interest that keeps me busy and diverted towards art. When I am free I make paintings, read books.

Why don’t people try & find an artist in themselves. Art is beneath us, it is really not difficult to find. Each one of us has an artist inside with a wide imagination running over all the time. May be you are a designer, a good cook, painter, writer etc. It is we who discriminates.

Art is inside us just watch it encircle the whole world with your imagination.

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
