![]() I was totally shocked!Ī few questions still remain unanswered in my mind:ġ. To his credit, he did not ask me for a tip. I asked him about the cover and he promptly pulled it out and made me sign the Receipt paper. 30 was and was directed to a post man sitting on a desk that had a small label that said "30" inside a shelf on the desk. 30", he responded. I asked around where No. ![]() I confidently walked to the same room and asked a totally random person in there where I could colect Registered Post for Balamrai. and I had to come at that time the following day if I had any hope of getting my cheque.Ĭut to the following day. I realized later, however, that I had to basically meet the same postman that delivers letters to my house and that he is usually there in the post office from 8 a.m. I have heard of truant and lazy government servants. "Oh, vaadu elipoindu", the guy responded, adding that the concerned person left at 11 in the morning. After listening to contradictory responses and going back and forth "inside" and "outside", I finally met one man, deep inside, that asked me, what I thought was the first relevant question in my adventure. Not one computer in sight! I had to ask random people on the way where the Registered Post delivery was made. There were dozens of tables with people behind them animatedly scribbling away on papers with dog ears. There some counters with monstrous lines in the front with an almost hidden entrance to the "inside". Well, wasn't I already? I figured he meant really deep inside the maze that the office was. I went up to it and asked the person behind the desk where I could pick up registered post? Without as much as a look back, he said "Go inside". Only when you go in do you realize that it is a fit case for the saying, "Paina pataram, lona lotaram"! The building looks quite majestic from outside. I mustered all the courage I could and went to the General Post Office at Rashtrapathi Road in Secunderabad. Just come to the post office and collect it. He left a message asking me to come to the post office to collect it. The next day when I reached home, my cook told me that the post man had come home with a registered post cover and refused to give it to her. He asked me to call back the next day and he would enquire about it. He was surprised that I had not yet got it. He said it had been sent by Registered Post and that I should get it in the next 2-3 days. I got a response confirming receipt of the new address and that I should contact a certain person with such and such telephone number in case I did not receive the cheque after ten days.Īfter ten days I contacted the person and asked him about the cheque. The email asked me to send the new address if it had changed which I promptly did. As it turns out, my address in their records was an old one and that is why I did not get the cheque. They wanted to check if I received it or not. I got an email from LIC India one day saying that they sent a cheque to me (pertaining to a policy that my parents had taken for me) quite a while back and it had not been encashed.
