“First class ac. 4 tickets” .
“Waiting list.”
“Will get confirmed I guess ? "
“Oh sure ! This is the first time I get “waiting” in ac berths.”
XXXXXXXXX
“ Waiting. 17,18,19,20. No room. No seats.”
“Standing for 4 hours ! Okay, will manage.”
Four hours later…..
The family got ample space since most passengers left at this particular station.
“ Sir, I wrote “no room” on your tickets.”
“So ? "
“You show this tickets at your station. Say you have not travelled. They will refund you. 2000 in cash. My share 1000.I’ll take it outside the compartment.”
“ Ok. I get 2000. Give you 1000. Fine.”
“Yes !”
“ So I get 1000 bucks there. Wait ! Here are 4 tickets. Take them, get 2000 rupees from the Head Office there. Keep your share….Now I get my 1000. Here itself. "
“Surely you must be joking Sir ! "
“No, I am serious. Less trouble.”
Needless to say the transaction never happened. The TTE could never get a bribe. And the gentleman and his family roared with laughter at the last line of the conversation.

What I really wanted to communicate is that corruption at all levels need to DISCOURAGED. Under the garbs of humour,the gentleman in this post subtly indicated how to deal with corrupt officials/employees.
We need not preach, just apply a little sense in how we deal with corruption.
