Why do we need a passport? A passport, maybe, authenticates that you are really a citizen of your country. A realistic answer is that you need to have a visa to go to < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
My passport travails started some 4 months back. The passport applied for, a Rs 1000 lighter by the pocket, I asked the man at the e-seva counter how many days it would take for the police enquiry to be conducted? He said, 'say around 20 days.' Augured well for me because I was bound to leave

You are very lucky to get passport with out giving bribe.
Last week two of my friends applied for passport and paid Rs.500/- individually.The thing is that they did not do any mistakes like you.

actually , its pretty much the other way around.. if a dick is going to take a bribe,then its politeness is propotional to how mush you end up shelling out.anyway , nice post...
