Two wrong never makes a right and power to use or power to misuse

What happened in Mumbai today is very unfortunate... pls remember two wrong never make a right..

Even I have three distinct incidents to narrate and share...lil long one but worth reading around misuse of power

First instance is very interesting... last month I was driving from Mumbai to Goa and cop stopped me near Kolhapur... he asked me for the pass and I had shown him home ministry notification... he told me in Marathi “ye Nahi chalega” I asked him why... his reply was ye Maharashtra hai, India Nahi and I was taken by complete surprise... I have had similar experience when I had gone to Srinagar couple of years back where while a boat ride in dal lake, I asked the boatman these mosques look very different and his response was yes sir Kashmir ka mosque alag hai india ke mosque se and had six other similar experiences in a span of two days...

Second one happened around 5 years back... I returned home from office at around 12.30 in the night... I used to work with RBL bank then nd being an startup I would work tilll late night and usually return home late... I always had driver who would drive me to office and back home... that night after reaching home driver parked the car right in front of my building gate and left for home... I was in the middle of a call which was continuing and hence thought would go home once I complete the conversation...two cops came on a bike and started talking very rudely with me... I asked them why are they talking like this and then they became more aggressive...I had couple of drink in one of the brewery in office complex only with two of my office colleague that day... one of the cops started using abusive language nd said you are not supposed to sit out in the car alone at this time and other one says take him under drink and drive... I told them, I was not driving and this is my driver no and pls speak to him... he just left after dropping me here... nothing doing... they called a van with more cops and took me in the police station... they sent me for medical examination in the same van, all the cops ganged up and charged me with three four different section and the worst one was abuse of public servant on duty...i was there till 5 am in the morning and was also determined that I will not succumb to any pressure or fear... rather I was determined to fight it out and was willing to take it at any level including ensuring these two folks get suspended and others also learn a lesson...of course I am still writing the whole story on this... how people in power misuses the power and trouble common ppl like us/me...

Third one is around, in one of the organisation I was tortured, harassed, bullied upto a level where I was breaking down psychologically and emotionally both... I saw myself standing alone but chose not to give up...I didn’t have any personal agenda and rather every thing was for the organisation and organisation good only...in my entire career with humility I can claim, never ever done any harm to any of my bosses (despite getting enticed by ppl in power at least thrice) or for that matter any team member ever in life (no one can ever say that and I challenge that...I don’t take the responsibility of he said or she said and the gossips and attempt to get influenced by fear or enticement ) my team would be my real strength all throughout my life and career... even if in some cases I got pressure from bosses to get rid of some of my team member, I would always fight back and would ask for time to coach, mentor and I think that’s the primary reason why you hire a leader. my approach was similar in this organisation as well and I had invested day and night selecting, developing, mentoring team with a dream which I had shared with Ceo and other founding team members....when time came to get that lil emotional support and anchoring....there also, I found myself alone... reasons are many and I don’t want to get there...eventually the circumstances got created where I chose to move out but decided not to give up and kept on writing about my learning... I saw even my writing in my own space would create turbulence and I was threaten to get framed in defamation and one day saw Maharashtra police seeing my post...and many things evoked so this writing is also in progress... but the interesting question which comes to my mind, why would you like to kill the voice or someone who dissent... why not humbly accept the mistake, apologies and that’s the testimony of being great leader... what caught my attention off late again use of external power to kill the voice...
