Indian record system is simply great. As a result of which today I am doubting my existence. The story starts in the following manner:
Me: principal maam, I need your help. I do not have a birth certificate. I need a birth certificate to get my passport made. Please help me.
Principal maam: Then how did you get an admission in College and school?
Me: I do not know!
Principal Maam: Ok , fine . Call in Sundriyal (Administrative Officer), Lets see what can be done.
Sudriyal Sir: Ji maam
Principal Maam: Sundriyal ji , kuch bhi karke iska passport banvaiye. Isko birth certificate chahiye, passport banvane ke liye. Toh, please you look into the matter and get it done.
Sundriyal Sir: passport ke liye birth ki copy kyun chahiye, woh toh tenth pass certificate se ho jayega.
me: Nai hoga, Reason, ek naya ammendment hua hai, All those who are born after Sept1, 1989 have to submit their birth certificate, tenth certificate is not valid. And my date of birth is Sept 28, 1989. So again a new problem.
Sundriyal Sir; Chalo koi baat nai, banva dete hai. He rings the bell to call peon (Pandev Bhaiya)
Pandev Bhaiya: Ji Sir
Sundriyal Sir: triveni ko bulana
Triveni sir: Triveni yeh iska birth certificate banvana hai toh MCD office jakar meri baat karvana
Me: Yippeee. Now things will start falling in place
Next Day
Me: triveni sir kya hua.
Triveni sir: It will take time
third day
Me: triveni sir, wat is the status
Triveni sir: Nikita ji, usme kaafi problem ho rai hai
Me: Kyun kya hua
Triveni Sir: According to the rule of the Indian govt, It is a rule, ki birth ke 24 hours later every hospital is required to forward their records to MCD, but apka kahin koi record nai hai, hospital mein koi record nai hai, MCD department mein koi record nai hai, toh ab kaffi mushkil ho rai hai.
Me: Toh ab aap yeh batao ki karna kya hai?
t Sir: Kya apke pass apke parents ka death certificate hai
Me: Nai humne liya hi nai tha.
T sir: Great. Aap toh bahut hi mahaan ho.
Me: Now what has to be done?
T Sir: Chalo kal dubara dekhta hu.
Day 4:
Me: Sir, kuch hua. Kuch ho sakta hai?
T. Sir: yeh form bharo, and isme likho ki aapka birth ghar pe hi hua tha
Me: Shocked , but had no choice so did as he said.
T. Sir: Ab main court jakar kuch affidavits banva kar lata hun, dekho shayad kaam ban jaye.
Me: Fingers crossed
So, finally the poor thing ran to court to get the thing done. Now, Affidavits are ready, but still some formalities need to be done, hopefully kal tak koi positive baat sunne ko mil jaaye. Although, I doubt our govt system but still I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Tomorrow I am going to Bikaji Kama place, let me teel you , if things go bad there also, I swear i will kill a few people. I am ready to be behind the bars now. This passport system is highly irritating with all the amazingly awesome tragedies happening with me.
P.S: I will fast for a monday if my passport gets ready on time.
All the best! :)
