Finally, something to write about.



It finally happened. The inevitable. Yes, Michael Jackson has decided to return to his home planet of Xabu in the Andromeda galaxy. Ok ok, i was just kidding. Although, i firmly believe he will... about 30 years from now, when global warming or his array of creditors hound him out of Earth.



What actually happened is-I am now officially part of the system that runs the well-greased(money-greased) machinery of the government. But wait, before i continue, i'm categorically stating that this post is NOT legally viable and anything i write/state will be denied/withdrawn in a court of law...or something like that. U get the drift.



Yep, i've finally given Chai (Tea) money to an official, that too after doing all the neccessary work and submitting every bloddy document, paper, fax, wax,xerox, photostate copies etc etc etc..I could understand him demanding money if i didn't have the neccessary papers or wasn't entitled to get a PP. But nooooooo,,,he even demanded papers which were quite, quite unneccessary (the instruction booklet asks for one documents for proof of address -- i had to give three different ones, which by the way, i had already submitted at the office and which he wasn't supposed to ask for anymore).



And after all the neccesary paperwork, he smiled, said thank you, and told me to take a walk with him outside. I admit it was a beautiful morning, but i didn't even have time to smell the flowers as the moment we got out, he turned to me and said.....(verbatim) "yes, tell me(smiling)". I wanted to tell him to go bugger himself. but i was told beforehand what I was supposed to do. So... reluctantly, i said thank u and slipped more than a day's salary in his hand.



He smiled, shook my hands and left. I thought for a moment, trying to convince myself that i had no choice. I've known cases where people did not get their's because they didn't give money. After all, he was a policeman and inspite of giving him all the papers needed, just three, four words from his pen in the verification paper and I would have fallen in the last hurdle to get my PASSPORT. Life! bugger.
