The System/crap pile

friends, i want to tell you guys an incident which happened to me today. I had gone to the passport office (obviously for getting a passport!) where i had to encounter bureaucracy at its worst. as proof of my address i had submitted my bank account statement which was sufficient according to the passport guidelines. Now this one guy at the counter makes a big hue and cry and wants either my ration card or my licence as proof of address. Luckily i had the licence with me and i submitted the licence along with the copies( after going down 3 floors taking the copies attesting them and all the crap!) now our gentleman says that the size of the copy is too small and has to be enlarged! i told him in the nicest way possible by a human being at that point of time that the address was more than legible. friends you should realize that by this time i was at the edge of reason!! anyways i again went down got an enlarged copy(to shove down his @#$%) and went back( 3 floors up again!) and then he says that it is 1 o clock and that the counter is closed.............
this is how the system works in our state.. will it change? Hope it does or next time poor young men like me will forced to kick the officials in the @!#$%..... all jokes apart i think this is a serious issue.. if this were a private establishment such behaviour on the part of the official would not have been tolerated. it just because they have the protection and security of a government job such @#$% ' s are resorting to such cheap means for fun or kicks or whatever....
and finally sorry for using a lot of 'symbols'... had to friends... the system sucks
HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE SYSTEM... BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAN WE CHANGE THIS DIRE SITUATION IN OUR GOVT OFFICES???????????????
