Can u help her? Corruption is beyond limit.

First of all, I am that person, second I did not snatched any kid, I gave birth in India, I have my PIO card married to Indian citizen and I live here for four years. I am not crazy to get my kid registered in a country who's soil in the first place gave me headache and tension. If I were to choose, I would rather register my baby in my country's embassy but SADLY, they still need to get the papers in your local registry which may take 4 months to process. I don't like bribery so don't suggest me that, I do like what is legal and proper. I am just ranting about why the heck it takes too long to process wherein you just need to submit a paper and that's it.

@ vandie, hope you have got your answers here.... @ amiga, straw.... i am sooooo sad again. Please forgive me for this discussion.

@strawberrychocodahi - I am sorry if I offended you. I didnt mean to. I meant that procedures are in place to prevent that sort of crime. And I categorically mentioned not infants. Please note I didnt say she could be smuggling the kid. I think you are worked up about the issue so perhaps you interpreted the response in that way. I understand sweetie - . @shiby - as I mentioned - there is a lot of red tape in this - to prevent human trafficking. The procedure needs to be followed by everybody, even if it were the President of the country. Why is it so bad? We have not yet reached that level of mechanization as other countries. Why have we not mechanized things. We simply couldnt afford to so far. We are one of the most populous nations, sparing for such things would mean cutting down elsewhere. We have to allocate large chunk for fighting with our neighbors, and then whatever remains substantial amount of it goes to pay salaries of employees so not much is remaining. Things are improving for example now in our state we can get a passport in 45 minutes. It will take time shiby. Others need food education and medicine so this computerization takes second priority. Can I solve her problem -nope. She doesnt want to pay bribes, she will have to run from pillar to post. You'd think she would get after three months. I will tell you no unless she takes the matter to some ACB. Toll free number for Andhra Pradesh is 155361.

@zralte.. hope you have got your answers. have a nice time.

The cup of coffee is so much better than all this corruption so very rampant in our India...

Couldn't agree with you more

It is not always true. Just consider the situation of the foreigner. If she paid the bribe she might not be in trouble. She is guilty, but upto what content.

You are right. Here the issue is something different.

My father tells that both parties are guilty, They who take bribes and they who give. Corruption till not will stop unless we offer bribe to make the process easy. Have a nice time.

Hi angel.... New avatar. wooowhhh.... nice to meet you after a long period. you are treated as a foreigner in Spain by spelling your name but here, i have to do that in my native land for some stupid authorities. they seem so strict in some issues but in real all are bogus and bribe oriented. If you give a bribe, then no need to spell anything and everything is okay. Its really shameful. Have a nice time.

Hiya shibs, Yes really my first name is shortened like yours shibs mine is Sue for short but they are very awkward here like that about pronouncing it but again I don´t take any notice of them any more. He is a bundle of energy the one in that avatar he is fast losing his fear of Men he only goes to Women first thing but with men he was holding back but now he is changing we have won his confidence thank goodness. I have problems here with Birth Certificates as my kids were born in England and I could not Register them in the Consulate here as you were required to go to London and that was too far for me to go right then as well.xxx That is one of the problems they made for me and they have never resolved it either they just shrug their shoulders and more or less tell you to put up with it. You can´t bribe anyone here not in public anyway. But bribes still go on.

mamu, hope you have also got the answer.

Me thinks thesids has only coffee in his brain

Hi kingparker.... The worst side of our government is its political parties. We have many political parties. say, five parties and in a election the votes are obtained this way.... A- 16%, B- 27%, C- 32%, D- 19%, E- 6%. Then obviously C group will make the government which party is disliked by 68% citizens. Then what type of government is this? Just think. Have a nice time/.

Hi zandi... you are right. This corrupted officials are the stains on the name of hospitality of Indians. we better know how to cope with this corruption but as i have mentioned earlier that for a foreigner, its too hard to deal with. its really shame on that name of a certain nationality. Due to some corrupted officials we all are blamed which has made us worried. have a nice day.
