The Soulful Atom

Reflecting over life through weird, crazy, ever changing, euphoric, absurd, confused and at times impartial lenses -a journey of curiosity and questions with my two alter egos.. as I try to fall out of the stagnation of instability.. or the desperate attempt to remain..

And in continuation with unexpected things happening.
I've finally undertaken the task of getting a passport done. And finally got the police verification underway. Needed to get the documents from the commissioner office, and unexpectedly the officer turned out to be a student of the father. the task which was expected to take a long and also some money spending (thanks to bureaucracy) was done in a jiffy free of cost! Then came the police station process. The officer was readily available, was told to get certain documents. Now most of the documents were not ready, Now this called for notary-hunting right when the sun was up high. And now i know they beauty of Sahakar Nagar where there is not a single notary!! much to my annoyance. I then started looking for "advocate" name plates, and found one thankfully. Mr.advocate (pretty aged) was in and available and agreed to attest the copies. And he did it free of cost!!!!! I was amazed that such people still exist! And then he says you can come anytime you want! No smiles no acknowledgment of my surprise or thanks nothing! Back to the police station, where i had to wait for sometime, but the officer inquired kindly (which was surprising again) as to why I was there and asked me to sit (i was standing for 10 mins with the still hurting leg), 20 mins later the same officer went in to the other lady officer and told her to hurry and then called me in!! Few minutes later I came out smiling gladly the way i did from then commissioner office and the advocate's place.
A day which was supposed to be full of stress and irritation and my temper flaring to limits unknown as it usually happens when i've to deal with bureaucracy.. Surprisingly turned out being almost smooth! Apart from the notary hunting process..

It could be cause of the family "contacts" (sounds much like "the godfather") but usually i cannot remain so clam and thing so not usually work out so easily..

Yes sometimes you encounter kindness at the most unexpected places.. And also most of the people who did extend this kindness did not know of the so called contacts.. But the still were equally helpful.. And so this proves that how much ever evil we encounter, the good in people still prevails.. I hope i will be able to retain that part of me in myself too!! :)

PS: Now just hoping the passport will be delivered soon! :)
