The Passport Wait!!!!

Soma doesn't have a passport...she was awaiting everything (marriage related discussion) to be finalised before she decided to apply for the passport.....this was her funda!!!! Her parents had asked to apply for the passport in October itself but our dearest Soma was hallucinating n didnt apply....;-)

anyway Soma darling came out of the slumber after the things were finalised in the first week of dec 2007....then she got into frentic action and finally was able to submit the docs on 19th dec....I will accept the fact that she took lot of pain to apply...she did it single handedly and went to passport office three times...."pyaar mai kabhi kabhi karna padta hai" so hats off to her....

by the way do u wanna know the motivation behind the last minute rush? ,......hmmmm

I told her i m planning for the honeymoon in Malaysia and if she doesnt have the passport then Honeymoon is OFF....pretty smart huh!!!!!

anyway after the submission we started checking the status in http://www.passport.gov.in/ (btw, the passport office has become super-efficient now a days).....however the status was showing 'docs not available'......and Soma had to go to the passport office again n she was told the status will be updated after police verification.....

yesterday police officier landed at Soma's place without prior notice and hassled her....he asked her to bring a document.....it was quite upsetting ...but the brighter side is that police verification will get done by 9th Jan latest and after that it should take another 15 days for the passport to be issued....keeping our fingers crossed....

once the passport is received i will go ahead with our HONEYMOON booking...now u will be thinking - what is the honeymoon destination?.......lets keep that for the next blog....

cheers
