Reported on March 4, 2011 from Karimnagar , Telangana  ι Report #27990

How many times I have paid bribe i don't remember, always I'm helpless, I have no other choice.

Here is some of which i have paid with so much inside pain, at times i really want to go after that idiots and kill them, but i resisted as i have family to take care of.

1. Driving License
2. I took a train ticket, but get in to wrong train which also goes via same route, but till ticket collector verified ticket, i didn't know that my ticket not going to work for that train.
3. DSL internet connection in the home, after so many fair attempts , the cable guy never attended to install the DSL line in home till I agreed to pay.
4. Engineering final degree certificate
5. Income Certificate from the MRO office when i m in School
6. Residence Certificate, when i was in School
7. Birth Certificate for my daughter, as i have no time to argue/no time as I have to apply passport and move away from these stupid corrupted system.
8. Govt hospital to visit my relatives.
9. Land Registration
10. for Power Connection in the home
11, Water connection in the home
12. for Cooking Gas cylinder.
13. for cleaning the drainage in my street (monthly have to pay)
14. Marriage Certificate
most of these times, i could've resisted, some times i m too young to think, sometimes i m too tied of this system, sometimes no other go as i m totally helpless.

again I m not sure what else i can do, few times i really thought i want to go after those people and do something that they will realize, but I'm too tiny sugar to change the big salty ocean.

i moved away from INDIA , now its about a decade, I do not have a single incident that I remember paying such bribes.
GOD, please save my india, save my mother country, please.
It hearts me somuch when i think of my mother land, please.
