We planned, then planned some more, and then planned again. After planning for over two months, we went back to point A, and re-planned all over again. Notice, we didn't even get close to executing the plan.
Sounds like planning any other project at work, doesn't it? What we did was plan for Sathish's passport "re-issue". Rightly named, the whole process is nothing but a big fat "issue"! If you're going for a passport re-issue in India, prepare for some grueling tasks before and after the actual application submission. In all fair means, his passport re-issue wasn't straight-forward. We had an address change and a name change to make matters a little more complex. The mental agony we went through is inexplicable!
After a stressful three straight months of doing nothing but gathering documents for his re-issue, he has finally submitted the application at 2:00 PM yesterday and has received the golden paper; the receipt for payment and submission of application.
The wait will be a while longer for the new passport to arrive, so I pray to the Almighty for a teeny bit of patience.
So now you know my excuse for not having posted in a while.
And oh, I'm still due to write about our Goa escape; I will come back with some pictures soon.
Addendum: His passport arrived. He had to go in person to the postoffice to collect it. But here it is; all shiny and neat. I'm in love with the new passport. Now all we have to do is stamp up all the pages by trotting across the globe! :D

I have to go through this painful process/project now. My passport is due to expire next month.
You should buckle up and get on it as soon as you can! the whole process can put one into depression (if you know what I mean).
