Airport Shake - Off
I was visiting home from abroad for about a month, I had a video camera(personal / used) and cordless phone (Worth Rs. 800). The customs officer demanded that I should pay him for carrying a video camera and the cordless phone. I told him the camera is for personal use and I'm not importing it, I will take it back with me when I leave and offered to not it on my passport. His responded back by giving veiled threat by saying "why are you making things worse for yourself and me?". I was a bit intimidated and was anxious to see my parents who were waiting outside. So there you go, I had to pay him about Rs.800($20) to pass the customs.
