When you are down with fever, you need something to divert your attention, right? Anyways, i do watch "crime patrol" even otherwise. The story narrated in this particular episode talked of how an innocent act of sharing your appreciation of the service provided and the data theft thereafter of name/address/mobile can land you in the trap of a mollah chaser.
As it is, with the unavoidable wifi and internet and multi-media mobile, women are targetted more. The incident showed further how. An innocent housewife who gives her review of railway services gets a call from a travel agent whom she readily gives further assignments of ticket booking out of good faith. Under the garb of submitting the tickets, he comes to her house, too. Actually he is infatuated with her, and she does not even realise it as she is very happy with/in her life.
Suddenly one day her mobile is lost, and everyone starts acting weird with her. It so transpires that the ticket agent does not have any means of livelihood, and so decides to fleece her by spreading the ugliest rumours about her.
Luckily, for her, she has a friend who helps her out, and, most importantly, her balanced, sensible husband chooses to stand by her. They approach the police who track down and arrest the crazy villain, and an absolutely innocent woman is saved from any extreme step.
Well, the story happened in Pune, and it is the best example of how in a consumer society, your extreme goodness and innocence get 'unforeseen enemies'. Indeed, at times, such a watch is better than vapid news. Hence this write-up instead of the continuing medical series.
Pratima @"The trust of the innocent", writes Stephen King," is the liar's most useful tool." Indeed!
