INTERNAL ANGST ....

My life in triplicate,xeroxed and attested!!
Every single sheet of document since the time i was born,
my birth certificate,domicile,nationality certificate,passport,school passing,10 mark sheet,12 mark sheet....all medical years marksheet...internship doing,internship completion...provisional registration...permanent registration.
yes,MY ENTIRE LIFE made in triplicate, duly attested by a gazzeted officer,has been submitted to joshi madam.
it is proof that i lived,i exist and i have an identity.
every single footprint while i walk the metaphorical path of my li8fe has been PHOTOCOPIED!!
Joshi madam revels in the knowledge of the power she wields over us.Anything less than 10 sheafs of paper (photocopied and attested mind you) is SACRILEDGE!how dare you? HOW DARE YOU...forget to attach the passing certificate? yery ahe ka tu?murkh manus!!(are u mad?idiot!) then dont come and say why your application did not get forwarded to the dean, then dont say why your admit card or hall ticket or salary not reach you...


now recently we had to fill our All India forms for the post graduate emtrance exam. And miracle of miracles! they required NO DOCUMENTS. none! zilch! it was a simple process of filling form getting stamp of dean and sending the form to AIIMS.
This was Joshi madam's worst night mare come true. NO XEROX,unheard of! This collassal mistake must be rectified. and so she came up with an ingenious plan...

To get the dean's stamp we now had to get an undertaking from the local lawyer stating that we were interns and bound by law to do what we were asked to do...(or something of that sort)...costing Rs 100.then the usual 10+ photocopied documents , plus pay the college office rs 200 for all the trouble they r taking. And then xerox the receipt of the rs 200 just to add insult to injury!So in all an extra rs 300 +xeroxes.


i paid up,i submitted my photocopied life. i am no mahatma gandhi who stood his ground against injustice.
but this blog is my mini revolution .my revolt.my INTERNAL ANGST.
