After a week, he called me back and returned the originals. Then, in 20 day, the cops came to my house. Of course, for the police verification. After that I went to the station, the inspector asked my whereabouts and all. When I told NITK, immediately a broad smile appeared on his face and in a few minutes I was out of the place. BTW, it was my first police station visit of my life too, LOL.<BR/><BR/>P.S : When u go to the station, u need to take some documents.RATION CARD IS MANDATORY FOR ADDRESS PROOF. Even driving license does not count as proof. Great rules eh? :)Nithinkrishna Shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596178188871515337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043982707918893775.post-46097399508297718512008-08-06T08:52:00.000-07:002008-08-06T08:52:00.000-07:00Hilarious...My sympathies for you...

Somehow my passport application interaction did not involve Counter Numbers or the -dumb-girl-behind-the-counter or the on the spot rule making competition. Mine was just as follows:<BR/>1) Go to passport office<BR/>2) Find I am the only person there<BR/>3) Show documents and give filled form<BR/>4) Give xeroxes. <BR/>5) Make sure the form they fill does not have mistakes.<BR/>6) Take acknowledgement<BR/>7) Get the **** out of there!<BR/><BR/>And my police verification didnt take place for over a month. So concerned, i went there myself. He asked for my bank pass book. I showed him. He asked me what i was doing. I said 'nothing'. He said OK and I left!<BR/><BR/>PS: Guess having a mom working in the Central Government really helps!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
