Damn! Another critique post?? :P

Last week had accompanied mom to the registration office for transferring the ownership of one of our house to the new occupant. There was this huge queue for the stamp of the lawyer. Luckily, the guy who bought our house had some gud connections within the organization so he himself went n did all the work. Meanwhile, we were standing outside the office in the reception area. I was loitering around the lobby n was whiling my time reading all sorts of notices n rules put up on the walls. One of them took the cake which read..

URGENCY

Urgency needs hardwork
Urgency increases blood pressure
Urgency spoils relations
Urgency requires cash

So, URGENCY is not our policy

I wanted to roll on the floor laughing but since the floor was not swept didn’t do it. Now I wish my cell had a cam so tht I could capture this astonishing piece of info. I m damn sure this was not sarcastically put up there but such is the plight of many government offices. Office Office is one of my fav serial on TV and though the common man undergoes so much of trails n tribulations for getting a petty job done, we end up laughing at the government apathy. One thing sure was gud tht there is a new thumbprint scanner n a digi-cam so tht the pics n the thumb are merged in the transfer certificate directly. Pls note tht m not criticizing the govt but just saying tht the functioning sucks! :P

Government servants are just like sperm. Only one works in a million

My dad will kill me if he reads this line coz he works in the Central Govt under the Forest Ministry. The main drawback working under this (I feel) is tht one has to really work n there is no whtsoevr contact with the public which means no bribes at all. I used to boast this thing tht my dad doesn’t take bribes until I attended a party organized for govt employees n their family. I was completely awed by this pretty gal n while chatting asked her out. She responded by My dad has been booked 9 times for accepting bribe. If ur dad has surpassed this number then I m in. I hung my head in shame n walked away. Tht day itself I promised myself tht I wont be taking up a govt job n spoil my child’s adolescence :D. Now m terrified at the thought tht a gal of another IT slave would ask my son How many spam mails ur dad forwards in a day? Thinking ‘bout this I keep on practicing sending forwards to many of you. Now next time u see one of those forwards frm me don’t mutter a swear word under ur breath but feel satisfied tht u r helping me in a very noble cause :P
