The lady cop with a difference



I recently went to the famous shopping mall in the Kalptaru theatre area in Shastri Nagar at Jodhpur.I was there to do some quick purchase of groceries and vegetables.As I was segregating pieces of potatoes to be purchased a gentle and motherly voice whispered " no beta,don't segregate such potatoes as they are not good to cook.Then I looked up to see the source of that voice and I was up for a surprise.A lady police cop donning her uniform was volunteering these tips to me with a smile.Most of us think that police personnel are generally harsh and insensitive in their attitude.But here I saw some one ready to connect and empathize with general public.As I glanced at her,I was greeted with genuine motherly warmth and empathy.I was very pleasantly surprised to meet her and wished her all the best.I was so overcome with surprise that I couldn't remember to request for a snap with her,note the name from the lapel on her uniform or greet her formally.Next time I would be more careful.To the best of my memory,she perhaps was from RSAF and her name was Jyoti Bhatt.If any of you happen to meet her,please do congratulate her on her exemplary manners.
