Mission: Driving License


So this was my first peek into the lives of our sarkari offices- the R.T.O (supposed to be the Regional Transport Office) to be precise. I turned 18 recently (read the postscript), so my papa finally realized that he could get me a driving license. It’s not like you have to wait till you get 18 to get yourself a driving license at least in this part of India, but then I guess I've inherited the laidback attitude from my father.

Okay coming back to the R.T.O rendezvous, I was escorted by one Yadav dude (albeit a fifty year old dude!), who is probably in this business for quite sometime but still seems nervous like an amateur.
