A musical saw was going in a a place in Gujarat, many years ago.
The Judges, the lawyers, VVIPs, Top Police officers were watching the show.
Suddenly a Police Inspector climbed on stage. He grabbed away mike from hands of singer and started singing his own song. He was fully drunk.
People tried to take back mike from him but he said, "No, I want to sing."
He was over powered. But next day it was a news.
Now the problem arose how to hush up this thing. In Gujarat drinking wine is punishable with 6 months jail.
This police inspector was found drunk on stage. Judges, Lawyers etc witnessed the drama.
If case was registered then Police Inspector could have got suspended and jailed.
What to do? How to hush up this thing?
Well, everybody pretended that they had seen nothing.
Police did not register any complaint on its own.
No one went to police with complaint against Police Inspector.
The matter was forgotten soon.
But the point of the story is : When our mind is on fire, and when we are on a stage, there is no way we can control what we say,
To remain sober, while speaking from a public platform, is very very tough task. One has to tame one's inner mind.
This is not an easy task.
