MY 'PASSPORT' STORY
yesterday I got my passport....that's the reason why I am writing this post in green....a green signal...a long cherished dream...You may wonder why i m exaggerating this matter...No way.....I will state 2 facts which will make you understand the above statement.
Date of application- 3/11/2009
Date of issue - 16/6/2010
one week for them to book a speed post courier that makes it exactly 22/6/2010.
Validity 10 years....
that's close to 8 and half months for processing the entire thing....wow.....
I m relieved.... I don't remember exactly how many times I have been to their office at Cochin...every month at least twice. I can without doubt say, I know the nook and cranny of the office, so anyone who is yet to apply for this valuable document, feel free to contact me for my value added services acquired through real experience and totally unwanted mental agony.
Now where should I go with my brand new passport?? Europe, South east Asia, Or Africa...?? With world cup fever gripping its raging heat over South Africa, I prefer going there but........... I know I cant.... How can I without my Friends??
Some of them are busy and exasperated with undying aspirations and preparations for the PG entrance at various parts of the state, some in nuptial bliss, and some about to start their PG classes due next week, Who is gonna accompany me? I know no one. Last year Paily told we will go Malaysia when the passport is ready...But now he is busy...
I hope this stalemate will end after an year, everyone will get their PG and ready for a trip....
And i will post a blog ..............No blogs for a week......I m backpacking.....in some exotic location in another part of the continent..... :-)
