How much Fine I need to pay ?? can u tell me

I had a unique expericence while trying to include my spouse name in my current passport, which i would like to share with everybody .i got my passport in chennai before marriage and it includes my fathers name.Now i want to include my spouse name in my passport ,so that i can apply for asu(my son) passport.so to begin with first i submitted my forms under miscellaneous services in the brunton road passport office of banaglore.

first day we reached there around 9.30am we were standing in the Q till 12.10 but the service is upto 12.00 noon and they have closed the main gate.To our dismay we came back to home.
After 2 days we planned to reach there by 8.30 am ,but actually we reached there at 8.45 ,i was standing in the Q and my husband went for parking the car.

This time we got in to the office ,we had all documents with us starting from address proof from my office to ration card .verification phase was over,but still they gave me a PPA (personal particulars application form ) to be filled up.

In ppa they have two columns which states that if a person is not residing in the current address for not more than one year,he should give his/her previous address for police verification.
i was not resding in my current residence for more than a year,so my husband said we will not give the application today as they will do police verification in both the places for which we have to go to local police station 2 times.

we will submit enough proof of address,by giving a bank account from a nationalised bank aso that we can avoid police verification.so my 2nd attempt to file the application is also failed.

now its my 3rd attempt we submitted all the documents stillllllllllllllllllllllll...............now also they told me to submit the PPA form HAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
what to do we submitted the form and came back praying god it should be cleared properly.

Then lot many things happened my husband went to France for a week training and my mom came to my home for helping me.

now one day i got a call from a police personal that he has come to my home for passport verification.now i rushed from office to home ,i dont want that person to leave my home as it will further get delayed.

He did nothing just got Rs 50 from me and asked me to come to nearest police station and i said i will come once my husband is back to home.

That day came and its a sunday mornming we both went there to meet the station writer at 10.30 am.
one constable said please come around 4.30pm in evening as we are doing the shifting from 1 st fllor ground floor.
so we left and went around 4.30pm he verified my docs and said get me a xerox of ur telephone bill,pancard xerox,photo copy of husband passport,this that,this list goes on and on.

we said YES we took a photo copies of all the above and went back at 5.15 pm.
Now he misplaced my application somewhere and he was searching all the while and we were watching and dont know exactly is going on.

Finally he Got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.he said ur application is here(what an invention stupid).i was thinking to myself.
now he went outside of our room and we were waiting.............................
One more writer came to that room and he asked "Application sikkidha?"I said to myself yes yes sikkidhe nee paise sikkuma nu yosikkira correcta?

he called us to his table and he said

"oh There is a problem in ur application ,u dont have a address proof of one year"This is legally, medically,personally officially,this way that way not accepatable"

so if u knowANY XYZ in banagalore commisioner office u push this otherwise ur application will be REJECTED.he uttered this word and put his head down and seeeing my papers again.
Yes he got it ,he got the address proff certificate issued by my company and iam in IT
what else he want then??????????????????''

he wrote something in kannada and got my signature and waiting for us to ask whether he need any fine to be paid by us ,Yes Fine its not Bribe.he is collecting fine from me as i dont stay at one house for more than a year.
Yes FINE of700 is PAID by my husband and we are waiting for the next stage .

i dont know how much fine i need to pay till i get my passport and my sons

have any idea of how much i will pay if so please let me know the Fine Amount(once again iam saying its Fine and no BRIBE).

Temples in Tamil Nadu

Today i came across a tamil e-paper site.It gives an excellent information about temples in Tamilnaduhttp://www.dinamalar.com/koil/temples.asp.
Information is quite useful for people who have more interest in visting temples and spritual tours.
They have categorised temples as amman ,pillayar,siva,vishnu temples and also suggestions were given for temples to visit based on the problem .

This link is useful for people who wants to visit temples .

visit to Thiruvannamalai

we are planning for a long time to visit thiruvannamalai,but due to some reason or other it got delayed ,finally we made it on last friday..
yes friday is Good friday and i applied for an optional holiday in my office.
all of sudden around 9.30am we (myself and my hubby) thought why dont we go to temple today.?
Its for tonsuring aswath's head.

My husband went for booking the tickets as we really dont believe in stepping out of home with out reservation.he called me around 10.00am from the booking counter as one ksrtc bus is available at 1.00pm and rest of the buses were starting after 9.00pm.Intially i had a hesitation how can i do the packing in 2 hrs ,but still i said yes , go ahead and do the booking.

In the mean time i started packing ,first its aswath....staring from cerelac,NAN,his diapers,dresses,flask with hot water and the list goes on and on.

since its a saturday we had brunch and left home at 11.15 and took an auto .reached majestic safely.
my husband bought a one litre water bottle and my favourite tamil magazine aval vikatan. aswath was watching here and there ,and he was totally enjoying the horn sound of buses and people moving here and there.

we spotted our ksrtc bus and it started sharp at 1.00 pm,even though its half filled.i packed a box full of rice for asu's lunch at home.

now the fight started between asu and me,he dont want to eat and only thing he wanted to do peeping his head outside of window although its very dangerous .for us its dangerous and for him its a sort of enjoyment.

Finally we decided not to force him,bcoz if we force him our dresses will get spoiled ,what else Vomit...
i took my aval and started reading and after an 5 hrs journey we reached thiruvannamalai.
we checked in Hotel arunachala for A/C double room.

Then once again we started feeding aswath ,thank god the we got all local channels and ads were coming every now and then,bcoz asu will eat only on seeing ads.

Then around 7.30pm we just walked around the temple and bought some ballons and cassettes .
came back and had dinner.slept well.

Next day morning we had coffee and went for tonsuring his head.First my husband got his tonsuring get done,then its asu.
he cried a lot and we both are not able to control him,finally we got him a car which is his favourite toy and he started playing with that.

we came to room and i gave bath to him,and dressed him and started feeding him with idly which we ordered.as usual he didnt eat idliies then once again with the help of sun tv ad i gave him some ceralac to eat.in the mean time my husband came out finishing his bath.
Its my turn ....

The we got dressed up properley and went to restaurent to have breakfast,but all of a sudden we decided not to have breakfast and we both had some fresh juice.

we went inside the temple with archana items which we bought in the petty shops,first we had the darshan of ambigai and then sundareshwarar.
for sundrashwarar darshan we were standing in the Q for 15 minutes,and we were allowed to sit in the area before karpagraham for 5-6 minutes and we had a good darshanam of the arunachaleshwarar.

The darshan was really good and we came outside and brought some murrukkus and adiraasm and came back to hotel.

we dont feel like eating any heavy lunch ,so i ordered for curd rice ,my husband ordered for
Bissibelabath(ellam namba sambar sadam than) but unfortunately he got Biriyani:-)
still he had that.

we checked out at 3.00pm we decided to take a bus before 4.00 pm as its a 5 hrs journey to banaglore.

we got a Tamilnadu state bus at 3.45 and my husband took 3 tickets instead of two as we know we need some extra space for aswath .Even if we book the entire bus also it will not be enough for him....
some how we reached bangalore watching gilli and thalaphti which they screened .

we enjoyed the trip on the whole and it was quite memorable.
