Blah 2

"The number you are trying to call is not reachable! Please try again after sometime!! And I'm so "effing" happy about the fact that you aren't able to reach the number!!"

This is what I get when I call up a Vodafone(previously Hutch)connection holder. Well.. the last sentence was what the tone of the voice announcing conveyed.. I just voiced the feelings of the tone.

And thanks for reading that crap. Wasn't really the point of the blog anyway. Had to give this blog the traits of a genuine "blah-series" blog.

On of the things I've been trying to do off late is getting my passport done under the tatkaal* scheme (well.. more like trying to get the 'people' at the passport office accept the damn application...) and its been two sharp weeks as I write this Blah-series blog.

Attempt one: Failed
Reason: No Photocopy of ID of the datty boy who's issued the VC.
Steps taken: Convinced the datty boy (through The Uncle) to cough up his ID so I could photocopy it.

Attempt two: Failed
Reason: Later the APO tells me that the datty boy is not one of those "mahanubhaavas" who're eligible to issue a VC.
Steps taken: Switched over to 3 documents method.

Attempt three: Failed
Reason: All the documents I had were proved to be Invalid
Steps taken: All documents are being processed under testing conditions and are being made valid.

Attempt four: Pending....
Reason: Document processing
Steps taken: (None)


Yawn...

*Tatkaal is a scheme under which the passport is issued to you within a week of your date of application. There are two paths in which you can get it done.


1. Get a VC by a pretty "main-ish" dude working in the central or state Government and also a copy of his ID card which he must attest along with an Affidavit issued by some Notary.

2. Select 3 documents from a list of 14 documents and out of the 3 one must be in the first 8 documents mentioned and the affidavit as mentioned above.

Yeah thats about it....


No mood to blah anymore..
