one more amrikki visa

files upon files .. certificates .. papers .. statements .. bills .. marksheets ... transcripts .. the thought of standing in long Qs for hours ... all the prep

i reached the US embassy at 10;40 for my 11;30 appointment, 5mins in the doc check Q .. seeing all the tense faces around .. listening to 'Americaa. .. ' some wierd song .. n smiling about everything as always ... they even refused to take the Rs 2300 draft from me ('sir abb aapse paise thodi na lenge' :P)

then i entered the fortress of US embassy .. was carrying water in a transparent pepsi bottle .. the gaurd asked .. whats in it ? .. i put up my dumb look n said 'water' :) .. he said 'take a sip' .. i did .. n he 'observed' me for 5secs :P .. then let me in .. with the 'water' :))

fingerprints .. another 2mins ..

then i was wondering towards a long Q .. but a lady came .. n said .. 'stand in the 2nd Q' .. i didnt see a 2nd Q .. so just lazily went fwd .. she came in again with a smile .. n explained .. stand in 2nd Q means .. form it (hum wo hain, jo line mein nain lagte ,, hum jahan khade ho jayen .. line wahin se shuru.. :P)

the 1st free VO signalled me .. took my app .. asked me how many years .. where working .. wat salary .. 'u'll get ur PP in 72 hrs'

11am .. i was out of the embassy !!!

coming up .... dilli darshan
