well never in my 22 yrs of existence did i visit a 100% owned govt office.....
today was my first and unfortunately will not be the last visit to a govt office:(
it was as exasperating as it cud it get!
i stepped into the provident fund office regarding , obviously , my P.F account!
my oh my trust me when i say oofffff!!
i enter the building , looking 4 someone to help me out . i find a guy , without even hearing me out or looking at me , points his finger towards another table.... supposedly the "enquiry" jus that there aint no one to even hear out my query?!?!
thus the saga began from one table to another, one section to another and finally am promoted to one floor to another....yes i finally had to go the 5th floor...
the scene once you step in...
well dirty at the very outset, most chairs empty[ its lunch break jus that it aint a break cos it continues for as long as our "babus" want to ]
people oops employees [i was lost for words for a minute] relaxing, some crouching and sitting on their chairs[ for a minute i was reminded of the oh so familiar indian commode],one middleaged gentlemen and lady lost in each other's eyes sipping a coffee, etc etc...
finally after considerable yelling things started moving....something that was solved in 10 mins [when i finally met the person incharge] took me good 1.5 hrs to reach to that correct person!each , with their bloated egos, soiled clothes, pan stained teeth, and lazy lackadaiscal attitude, i tell you its "babuism " at its best!
its no wonder all these NRI'S do not like to come back to india! its sure annoying to witness a lackadaiscal attitude after witnessing efficiency!
