I got married recently and during our coutship days we planned for a trip abroad for our honeymoon. <br /><br />But the challenge was my fiance had applied for her passport, but somehow everytime some or the other reason it was getting delayed (even though she got that made through an agent). With D-day coming closer and flight / hotel rates goind up and up I was getting more and more impatient to do bookings without passport in hand. And that is what I did. I just did all the booking, and had no signs of passport getting issued. The bookings were no small joke, it was a matter of thousands of rupees. And all bookings were non-refundabe. <br /><br />But with God's grace, the passport got issued and reached her home exactly 12 days before the marriage and my Visa agent got the visas (yes, visas and not visa) done within a week's time.

What you are doing is what we all need to do, NOT TO PAY BRIBES. If we all start with this habit, then we can see corruption free India. My sincere compliments to you. I am going for renewal of my driving licence in a couple of day and am not engaging any agent. <br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-87498539565772519902012-05-24T20:20:56.088+05:302012-05-24T20:20:56.088+05:30its really impressive when you actually take the p...its really impressive when you actually take the path less travelled. the way you said that all this extra money that we pay these agents indirectly means bribe and black money!!! you have just inspired me to get all the legal things done on my own! :)Pooja Mahimkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294661991845958251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-63425826032410555102012-05-24T20:06:33.423+05:302012-05-24T20:06:33.423+05:30and yeah.... not a single penny etc from what it s...and yeah.... not a single penny etc from what it should be.Makkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012915183456139011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-85222861110024080462012-05-24T20:06:06.645+05:302012-05-24T20:06:06.645+05:30I got my passport in seven days ( delivered at my ...I got my passport in seven days ( delivered at my home address) ( including day of filling form first time)<br /><br />Thanks Almighty.Makkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012915183456139011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-48240604355165912972012-05-24T16:13:30.645+05:302012-05-24T16:13:30.645+05:30Been there and done that.

Especially the verification part on which you have absolutely no control! The officer who visited me wrote in his report that the house was locked. I had to reapply. All this as he wanted a bribe, which I refused to give. Moreover, on sensing that I am a single girl who needed a passport asap, he made inappropriate hints too. You know what I did then. Went to the SO of the local Police Station and complained against him. They sent another person for verification the second time and finally I got my passport after 8 months!Nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356457383586939084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255018926328134115.post-33643641265332216142012-05-24T15:25:00.641+05:302012-05-24T15:25:00.641+05:30Dear Neha,

And he is spot on as always. <br />I applaud your effort to not bribe anyone. People are getting salaries paid by tax payers money and they should be doing their jobs effectively so that things get done smoothly. Lets hope more and more people quit paying bribes.<br /><br />Grin and bear it, sweeties.
