Today it was a day when I tried something new and got an appointment for the biometric identification, live scan fingerprinting and digital photo imaging for a new passport at PO PSK, head post office, Churu. The PO PSK services now have started at 13 district headquarters in Rajasthan. it really went very smooth and quick there. Immediate document verification at one seat and thereafter live scan fingerprinting, digital photo imaging at another seat. it given the feeling that India is now really changing" badal raha hai "Many applicants wearing local wears were making queries in mother language Rajasthani , processing by local staff and process was in Hitech manner. What an amazing experience, otherwise years ago it was to go to Jaipur number of times and there was difficult to ask questions in heavy statewide crowd of applicants, as so many examples I have heard from the people getting passport for going Arab countries of our area at that time. This has created such an inner fear within myself that I never dared to apply for a passport. Now those days have changed, simple were the applicants local processes and Hitech machines made it charming and applicant friendly to have a passport.
All the formalities work completed within half an hour so I have some spare time to visit my inter standard friend and that time academic rival Mr Mukesh kalawatia ,ITO ward number 1, Churu and shared the old memories for 15 minutes and went into the childhood days. Both of us went back and renewed those days of up- down journey, rustic environment and mischieveous acts of those old days and had an occasion of the big big laughs.
In short today's forenoon travel to Churu was like I had travelled to achieve a passport to reach to the heart of my friend Mukesh.
I would like to express my feelings in Hindi as under:-
जो राइवल थे इंटर में
आज हैं दिल के सेंटर में
मिलने के बहाने ढूंढते
जीवन के उलझे भंवर में।
