I graduated from an Engineering College in Bangalore in 1990. However I had not got my degree certificate even after 6 months. After repeated attempts to find thereason for the delay I finally decided to make the trip to Bangalore from Kerala.
I was in Bangalore for a week and every morning I would make the same trek to Banglore University, wait in the long line only to hear the clerk say come back the next day when I finally got to the front of the line.
After a week of doing this, I was getting desperate. Then a fellow student asked me to ********** the clerk at his Lunch break and ask him what it would take. I did that and the clerk was very direct and told me 50 rupees will take care of it. This was 21 years ago and 50 rupees was worth something. I gave him the 50 rupees and I had my degree certificate within half hour.
There is Indian efficency for you. I left the country in 1990 and have never looked back!!!
