Resuming from where I had left my previous post

You can now have your house warming ceremony as you are officially the owner of the house, but only with the Registrar Office. Your electricity and water board officials don't know about this auspicious event unless you have invited them to the opening ceremony. Your race begins now.

You need to submit papers to your Municipality or Gram Panchayat (in case of a village) stating that you have become the proud (or tired) owner of a house within their boundary. This process again involves money X multiplied by the No.of square yards of the land you own and some forced gift (bribe). The work is finished at their convenience.

Now shift your focus to the electricity and water boards to own the current and electricity meters. Submit the whole link documents right from the birth of the land till your registration and again go through a series of drills that they ask you to. Look for the eternally invisible person day in and out to guide you about the process. He takes his time and one day you suddenly notice his divine presence in the office. Relieved, you approach him for solace, but alas! he would only make the matter worse. He gives you a long prescription of what to do and where to go. Huh! the saga continues..........

Why isn't the whole information centralized and a communication is sent to all the concerned departments and make life easy for the hapless citizens?
