The rampant baksheesh culture of Hyderabad

You jump the queue or red light -- A handful of money that's all it takes to bail you out. Vice or offense.

Anyone (menial worker) on the bottom rung -- or chief executive officer on the top rung of society / on the social scale /  on the corporate ladder ----Baksheesh is an open sesame / passport to get you out of the great Indian red tape maze.
