There are very few incidents which I may not forget throughout my life, narrated below is one of the them.

I am usually adamant to visit Restaurants on Weekends or Public Holiday's because the quality of food services may be pathetically served or I don’t want any sour experiences.
Last Sunday, we went to watch movie “Hawaa Hawaai” & we were free by 6:45pm, so we decided to drop all groceries at home & then went to dine at "Red Indian's", famous for Mexicans/Italians food in Kandivali. We reached there sharp by 7:45pm & by the time, most of the customers started arriving. I am well aware that there is valet service provided whereby I can leave my Car at the entrance and an attendant parks and will retrieve me keys but my hawk eye catch-up hurried attitude of attendant. Due to increasing rush, he even denied to handover parking slip so I decided to stay there till he safe park my Sedan. Even though my car is equipped with Autocop/GPS based immobilizer, he barge key to lock door, Result.....key jammed. Immediately sensing situation, I raise my voice to call upon Restaurants Manager which was no use to the deaf ears. By the time, it was heavy rush, 2-3 waiters effortlessly try to free their hands on my Sedan. I kept them away from it & decided to take situation in my hand & took return Rikshaw to get Key-maker. I reach to Key-makers stall @ 8:45pm but he had almost windup his stall. With my polite request, he joined & It took him merely 5 minutes to relive key from door but he warn me that my car door's liver locks has been damaged due to hard pressed.
Meanwhile, I was taking estimation of total expenses from my mechanic, one of the waiter silently pulled key-maker on back side & on demanding Remuneration, Restaurants Manager named "Saleem" threatened him to handover to Cop. On claiming charges for liver lock, Saleem started hitting poor man & before I reach to the spot, Saleem had dragged him with his collar, tore his shirt & his face was pale due to slaps. Entire crewmen were just watching this TAMASHA & would not have I interfered, that poor key-maker would have badly beaten. With the heated argument, I could manage to take part payment from Saleem but I was in deep agony that a innocent guy got hit.
I & Shilpa, took him out of Restaurants, gave him water, pending remuneration with few extra bucks & drop him back to his stall with all his honor...

These so-called big Restaurants put efforts in food quality but what about attitudinal quality of an human being?
What is role of an law while poor man gets hited by Rich bulls but there is no law maintained when it comes to Restaurants remain open till 12am or later?
What’s wrong in demanding deserving wages?

Poor key-makers rusty face was in my mind & I could not dine that night......
