All is not lost yet

A gap of nearly 5 months since my last blog, I had kind-of hibernated myself... (Not really waiting for the right opportunity to start again...)

And then something shook me up this weekend. Probably for the first time in my life - I completed a sarkaari kaam without a single rupee of bribe. I submitted property tax all by myself.

This blog is dedicated to the local officers who designed the self-help booklet and the SAS (Self Assessment Scheme) form. I, an illiterate in local language, was able to fill-up a form that didn't have a single word printed in any of the languages that I understand. All I had to do was to follow para-by-para instructions from the booklet...

Hats off to those officers... My faith in Indian democracy and the system got a lease of life. All is not lost yet...
