Phew!!!!

Government offices have earned the sobriquet of the most slow departments. they live up to their nicknames. few days back I had an opportunity ( highly ironical) to visit the government telephone department in concern of my internet connection. having a plan which provides for a minimum of 400 mbs free of monthly usage, I was intrgued, on inquiring, when my monthly usage was being shown NIL even though it was being regularly used by me......But when the bill for the next month was handed to me i was petrified on having the bill in my hand which should have been merely 200 shoot up to 1000 bucks...... It was high time now and i had to tackle the matter as fast as possible .... or else it would mean cancellation of my connection by my parents who like me had anticipated the bill to be not more than 300 bucks.....This caused my sojourn of some 3 to 4 hours in the government building..The department of internet broadband connection has its department's head officer on leave for a period God-knows-how much!!!!!!! And the assistants adviced me to check the matter with the department which was concerned (so to say) with the charges, billing, etc. Being in their territory i was harmles to them for time being and had to go by their rules....so i had to keep mum and listen to their surmones stating that it wasnt their problem for i wasnt registered with them...........This came to me as an entirely breaking news.... Finally having climbed some 40 stepf for the hundredth time( the lift in the happening building was on a summer break...and an advice...to neone who wants an exercise go to the government office ..the people will make you go here and there so many times that you will be surprised to see yourself exerting as when u do 50 pushups and some considerable exercises), I got my matter straightened........ Phew!!!!
I stepped out of the building vowing never to return there....
