Window of understanding

Today I had a plan to visit my friend to explore Window Vista Microsoft’s new kid on the block. As I was going towards his place, I bumped into a dead body lying on a bus stand. I called up my friend for advice whether I should call police or ambulance. He said, “I am coming.” The friend is a qualified lawyer practicing in the apex court of the land.

I was supposed to explain him Window, but I lost my window of understanding on the way itself. The things I couldn’t understand let me list:

A qualified lawyer was scared of calling police no (100) from his own cellular phone.

And two lawyers dissuaded me from using my phone. Why they were so scared themselves when their job is to bring respite to common man if threatened by the police?

How can a man starve to death in a city (Delhi – NCR) where even street dogs are overweight? The dead body was all bones no flesh. It was apparent that the person was hungry and sick for quite some time.

How at all the police solve any case in India with its stringent area rules defined by Criminal procedure code? In the first place the famous 100 no call about the semi dead man, actually dead, to the wrong sector police station and after looking at the spot the first thing it said was, “this is not our area.”

When police arrived a man most probably a software engineer came to me and said he had seen the body three hours before I saw and informed traffic police also but to no avail. In these times why at all any one expects help from strangers?

Is starvation death not news for media? Because the journos my friend tried to contact with the news that the person died probably of hunger was not interested without any blood or wounds.
This moron is again confused can anyone help
