Another post

Few days back , i was asked to send a somple courier . It was some sort of form . I thought it would be probably a easy work. So the next day i went to Guwahati city. I took the form (at my mama's office), filled it up , and addressed it. I left it at his office. I left then thinking that the job is now done. The courier would reach its destination . But well it was far from done.

After say 5 days , i got a call from my dad. He said the courier hadnt reached. Now i was well surprised , normal post apart , these days even couriers dont reach d destination. Strange!!

Now well i tried to trace down the courier... It was a relatively small courier , by which the letter was sent. And well i got to nothing. Next day i went to city again. I again filled the form . But this time i took the letter myself. Now the only thing left to do was to courier it.

But alas. It was the toughest job of all. I found out that all good couriers were at least 45 mins by Bus , the only one near was Speed-Post . And i was out of time . So i thought i would speed-post it from IIT itself. So i got back to IIT at 2 pm . And when i reached post-office at 2.15 . He told me that speed-post till only 1.45 ...Man this was truing out to be stupid .. i asked whether there was any other courier in IIT..he replied something ..but well i was not able to understand it...
By the evening i did find out that in fact there is another way of couriers..but it closed at 5.30 ... it was just 5.30 that time...So now all my hopes were on the next day...

So next morning , at 9 am i reached the Speed-Post office...but it was closed... at 11.30 i again went there..and then i came to know that it was a ASSAM BANDH today..so it would be closed ... i was so frustrated ... then at 2.30 pm i went to another courier office. It was Blue-Dart . So i waited 10 mins and then someone told me well the person would come at 4 pm ... i came back again at 4 pm ... again 4.30 time is given.. i come back at 4.50 pm ..

And then i am told that the person wont be able to come due to bandh ... well god knows i never hated couriers ever....So finally ...after lot of shit...i give it to someone else working in that deptt...and ask her to plz courier it the first thing tomorrow morning...and finally that courier left my hands...

And it was the most i have ever paid for the courier....wich was just one document .. Rs.65
From now on ... i would respect couriers...wich i had just taken for granted all my life...Another lesson learnt...
