hey all…went to the RTO office yesterday…waited for 3hours and got back home empty handed..except for that splitting headache…was basically my stupidity..didnt know how the driving school guy looked like…neway….went there again today….actually the whole thing was over in 1 hour or so…but one very important thing i observed there was the fuckin inefficiency around the place….the whole thing is manned by 3 people…and at any given point of time there are about 100 ~ 150 people waiting there to get pay bills or get forms signed….secondly the office is open only for abt 4 hrs….i mean…they could seriously use some extra people and get the job done with at a much faster pace and save both the common man time and save some time and energy himself…i dont think that our government is so poor that they cannot afford a few more people at such important places where every citizen has to come at least once in his lifetime…a person can buy his way around the RTO if hes got cash but the poor auto rickshaw driver or a person who barely has enough money to buy food let alone bribe others has got to wait around for the entire day and finally be asked to come again tomorrow because the photograph is off by 1 cm or the glue hasn’t stuck properly or some other equally silly reason…seriously those guys require the services more than people who live at a better level in society…and on top of all this we want India to become a developed country…the only thing i can say to that statement is ‘…duh…’…i donno i feel that something has to be done abt all this but i know that i am quit helpless and selfish so as to seriously take some measures or get into politics which is the only place where i can make a difference…i just hope that people are not denied their fundamental rights and don’t have to buy their way through when it is their right to do so…seriously i’m so fuckin selfish that i can never ever enter into something like politics but can write stuff like this and make my opinions on the subject….stupid na….

The summer in chennai is around the corner…its freakin hot almost all day round…yet another week has passed..not very eventful…simply hung out wid sun, montu n george….CAT classes got postponed…fuckers sed they’ll begin by apr18 and now they want to start in the first week of may…i went for a job interview…the whole thing just came outta the blue and got over just like that…pretty informal session….me and a coupla senior managers….simply looked through my CV…and some mandatory questions…i’m waitin for the outcome…sed they’ll call me up by this sunday..so hopin for the best..pretty gud company….ericsson and a pretty gud job too…project assnt/coordinator….will be workin on SAP and some on site jobs…just hope i get it….so there isn’t anything else to write about now…have to go get a bath and do somethin…cheers
