My encounter with Police

My whole weekend was in police station.. Police station and Hospitals are two places which means lot of trouble... God forbid if anyone has to go there.
For me I had to go to police station for my address verification for passport.. Actually I had applied for change of validity for passport around a month back. They said that even police verification would be done. Someone from police station normally visits your place and seeks information.. When noone came to my place.. I decided to go to police station and ask for status... So I had to make five trips to get the thing going. Pretty sad!!! Isnt it..

First trip.. The concerned person said "Come after fifteen minutes as he is attending some other person's case".. Actually the case he was talking of.. He was doing nothing in that.. The other person was filling up the form and writing a letter. I said ok..
Second trip.. I reached there.. he told me my form is reached there. They needed the documents and something else(Do I need to be explicit here?? :)) without which your papers would move..
Third time... Every one on lunch.. so come after an hour..
Fourth time.. This time I went with another friend.. We waited for 15 20 minutes for someone to come.. Then this person came. This time he was very receptive... He filled the forms and attached all the documents which I gave.. The fun part was earlier he has asked me to write an application for the process.. I had written a simple two liner asking the police to verify my address.. After reading that he asked me if by asking them to verif my address I am questioning the working of Police.. Then he wrote the details and format of the application which he was looking for.. I just copied and gave it to him.. Now came the funniest part.. Now every formality done.. I had put their something in an envelop... So both were silent.. I was waiting them to ask for their something.. After sometiem the person lost his patience .. He asked where are the enclosures.. :)) and i handed them the envelop.. I thought that will be done.. But they asked me to come in one more time as their incharge will see me first before signing..
Fifth time... I reached there.. Actually waited for half an hour.. That person went in to his boss for signature on documents.. But got them signed even without my presence.. ..

But still not over.. This was the encounter only with a single police station.. I still have to go to other police station as I have stayed less than a year in my current residence.. So I will have through a similar way to other police station also..

I still dont understand the pathetic states of bueracracy in government..... Everyone gets tensed whenever one thinks of going to any government office.. Everyone knows it would eat up their days and still things might not done ..
I wonder the people who are working there..
The concern they have for people.. The shameless they get in asking for under the table.... The way they treat the people.. and what not..
Actually we are customers for them.. They are getting paid by our taxes... AND They feel that they are doing a great favour on you on giving any service..

Actually was thinking of the corruption how corruption gets into one person.. I will treat them into following categories..
1. Who are honest in the beginning and then become corrupt as their needs increase and as they start imitating others who are already there in the system.. I remember one of person who joined in govt service.. He was single... His salary was enough.. He worked honestly and even refused the bribes.. but after sometime he got married.. responsibilities increased.. Then he also saw lot of corruption around.. ppl making lot of money.. then he also started getting into corruption.. Typical...
2. Who have paid a lot of money to get a job ... Look at the scams reported in recent at the recruitment level.. Simple thinking here.. I need to get back the money I paid for getting into the job..
3. Very few always honest people... These people are in pathetic conditions...
