The Aadhar card Saga :(
----------------------------------------------------
If you have not done any bad deeds in your last life well good for you.
But if you have then in this life you will be made to stand in a room to apply for the AADHAR CARD.
Trust me, when you are angry with someone and want to pay them back you just need to send them to take Aadhar card from Chennai . Remember Chennai.
Well we were sitting relaxed at home one fine Saturday when the kids school decided to pay us back for our misgivings . A text message from the school that read as follows:
"Aadhar card is a must for all students. Please submit your copy in school as early as possible"
We panicked and looked at each other. But you see good parents always do everything for their kids so we decided that the Aadhar card must come now without any further delay.
Early morning , very early morning ...no actually at around 8.00 am (when you are going to do something you are being forced to then even 10.00 am is verrrry early ), we reached the Aadhar office .
There were just two people waiting there and the Govt. official had already reached . We felt happy and ashamed that we had thought so less about the system. We filled up the forms and submitted them and waited for procedures to start.
Offiecr1 sits at computer, which looks like it was bought not 2nd hand but maybe 22nd hand .
He dusts it and wipes it and switches it on. Computer just sits there deciding whether to start work or no. Well it's a Govt. employee you see they start work only at 10.00 am after a tea and some gossip.
Officer 1 gives one hit on the computer :/ .
Well and we decide this is going to be one loooong day. Families keep coming and the queue keeps getting longer .
Officer 2 arrives and sits with a huuuge bundle of forms near Officer 1.
Our number is 5th as some people have come earlier and filled up forms and given .
Family1 getting ready for the procedures. Officer 1 notes down all details on a very ancient software , that was obviously trying to type whatever it wanted to .
The photo session was actually scary . Why were they asking us to apply if they wanted to actually provide cards for Martians!!! The pictures that were being clicked were so scary that we almost turned back. No responsible parents don't turn back . So we stood ready to walk the plank any second. Bang !
Again the computer was beaten , black and blue . But Ahankaari computer had decided to what it pleased today.
A photo session went drastically wrong when Suddenly the screen got stuck and the picture of the person posing looked like a jelly fish and it got stuck on the screen for eternity ! The girl was so embarrassed that she decided to cover the screen with her dupatta till it decided to stop punishing her image .
Next was the retinal scanner . Something like giant binoculars that Officer 1 poked into your eyes . I thought i saw a caveman peeping on the computer screen once .
Actually they should have kept a board outside .
Warning : YOU CAN APPLY BUT THE CARD WILL BE GIVEN TO YOUR CAVEMAN OR MARTIAN LOOK ALIKE.
Then there was a girl who came in a tight jeans and a sexy top hoping to look great in her card . Officer 1 without any emotion," Were you not informed to wear a sari or a salwar madam? What dress are you wearing? " . A very visibly flustered sexy girl replies," I need to go to office. You please make it fast ".
Officer1 again without any emotion," Then you may please go to office and come back tomorrow". Girl," Oh no "
She borrows a dupatta from some lady in the queue and wears it over her stylish top and poses sadly for the picture.
### See how our government shatters all dreams of girls wanting to look like Jennifer Lopez and photographs them mercilessly making them look like Lalitha Pawar in a nighty .
There should be a law against this .
When we felt everything was going well a very tired child started running around in the room and Accidently tripped on the computer wire and pulled it all out !!!
All horror movies move aside , this was a more nail biting , seat gripping experience here .
I witnessed for the first time how terrified people look actually ...LIVE!!!
Then what followed was absolute Pandemonium , chaotic , confusing , terrifying along with a background of the choicest tamil @#$@##%T%&^*( .
Ho even holy waters will not cleanse my ears for the next 20 years .
Finally after 5 hours , that felt like 50 years, painful 5 hours of waiting, cursing , hoping, terror etc. we finally completed The gruelling procedures.
The card wil be send to our residence by mail .We need to hold on to something before we take a look at it .
Also when people post their pics of Achievements and you don't have anything to post , don't even think twice .You can Post I APPLIED FOR AN AADHAR CARD as your status and am sure you will get One lakh twenty thousand and two likes surely ;)
Or even better . If you are really angry with somebody but too decent to curse them then you can smile and say GO GET OURSELF AN AADHAR CARD !
(It is almost as painful as a curse , trust me. )
