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?

Recent Past
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Lot of things have happened during the last two weeks while I was toiling for a piece of land (with house) in Hyderabad, errrrrr.... in a village far off from Greater Hyderabad. Some of them I feel worth noting are:
1. Devendar Goud ditched Chandra Babu Naidu and started his own party in support of Telangana. The trend of pro-Telangana seems to be catching like the fad of sporting like long and straight hair.
2. Dr. Rajashekar, the lesser known Telugu actor (imported from Tamil Nadu), has grown up from being the angry young man of Tollywood to 'Maha Star'. He is trying to take on Mega Star Chiru.
3. RBI has increased interest rates. Bull shit, seems someone in the RBI is not happy with me purchasing house.
Importantly, there are only 6 days left in June 2008.
