So ....Jesse @ the Passport Seva Kendra -PSK
there used to be days when Jesse would dare not do anything on her own...as a child you could find her clung to the edges of her mother's saree seeing visitors at home...Any official work ...oh too difficult to handle..so how did this thing go ....lets see..
I decided that just two of us would go ...He and me......had arranged for an appointment time of around 2:30 pm at Shaligramam PSK. Somehow managed to reach the spot at 2:15 pm and all excited asked the watchman if i could join the crew waiting in the Q...yes yes i know the spelling of queue ...just checked it out in the browser !!!! they gave me a stern look and asked me to sit in the hall.....where more than 100 people were waiting already. I managed to get an empty chair. Now needed to find out what's the procedure ...He prompted me towards a girl and her mother ...and so making it short ....asked some 2 people and confirmed that the people would enter batch wise...there was the 2pm batch...2:15..2:30 and so on....just then the 1:45 pm batch had entered...so was waiting ....after nearly 45 minutes...we were asked to form the Q... :) , we were guided to a counter around 5 rows were formed and each row was to be attended by an office personal. By the time I reached to the person, he asked me for my ration card which i dint have...by His grace...only the bankbook, birth cert and marksheet was sufficient. So was asked to enter another waiting room...this one A.C..ccccccc..ok here also managed to get a lady who explained to me the procedure when i asked her. Then was lead to the first floor office....received my token and was directed to the A dept. here paid the amount and i was snapped...since there was a monitor facing my side , i could see my pic....i told the lady that my eyes were closed....(as usual) she obliged to take another snap...now the climax ......thanked God that i dint come all alone and that He was also with me. She strongly commented that the birth cert wouldn't be accepted as it dint have my mother's name...listen very carefully here....i have been guided by Him many a times ...never this way...this is the first time i was so cool and He gave me instant anwers to reply those officials....Yes....Holy Spirit.....I thank You...:) i so innocently replied for that you need to check my marksheet...see its there...she smiled...i was done with that dept...now was directed to another B detp...here was the real scrutinization.....a lady at the counter...ohh nooo:) ohhh Manipur haa...she stared at me! sit sit!!! hmmm what's ur place of birth...hmm Ngurte i replied and town churachandpur..........she firmly replied then why is it something else in the birth cert....What! i slighly peeped into the cert,...yes it was 'Lamka ' ohh no...I had by mistake sent the place name Ngurte to my agent since then i dint have my birth cert with me...it was with my mother...i had read a wrong place from my tribal cert....then...the tempter entered in and seduced me....JESSE TELL HER NGURTE IS SOMEWHERE VERY CLOSE TO LAMKA ! ....no no no He dint want me to tell a lie and cover my mistake...i smiled at her thats it...she dint question me again...thats not the end ...hope iits not boring!!! she again asked me where is ur mother's name in the birth cert ....i dont know how did i reply this .....' i told her ma'am there is no option for mother's name in the certificate ' ohhhh phew....she looked into it and dint ask me again. Next she told me that there was no proof of my parents name....she asked me if i had their job statement....i told her that they were quite far away and that i was staying in Chennai for quite sometime...she asked me the year and i told her...ok now she asked me what i was doing ....if i had my college statement...something like that,....i told that i had finished my studies and then she asked to get my completion certificate...oh no....!!!! i dint get that ....He answered for me through my own lips...." you dint mention that in the requirements put up in the internet ma'am'.....she stared at me...and hey....send me to the next counter...the C counter...here this great woman asked me why i was studying ....note the word' studying' in a K.V SCHOOL after looking into my school marksheet, is your father in defence...she asked me...i smiled no ma'am....was delighted and elated though ....studying in school ha !!!! finally received the acknowledgement form and was out...immediately called my agent and told him...all that happened....he made a statement ' u answered all their questions wisely'
