Yaar, yesterday I was at the Imphal post office to get my SPID for the scooter loan paperwork. Two hours in queue, then the babu says my residence certificate is in Meitei, needs Italian translation. I told him, bhai, this is Manipur, we don't even have a proper pothole-free road to the district office—how am I getting a certified translation? Meanwhile, my phone battery was at 15%, and I kept thinking about that old uncle's tea on the way back. You tell me, is this progress or just a phijig of paperwork designed to help only those who already have the time and money?

Hmm, two hours in queue only to be told your own language needs a foreign translation—sounds like the babu was running a nested if-else with no default case. Reminds me of when I tried to update my Aadhaar address with a Khasi land document. They wanted a "notarised English copy

Aré, that babu is just pushing his own weight around. Two hours in queue only to be told your own state's language needs an "Italian translation"—who is running the post office, some clerk in Rome? I've seen this trick before, they create a paper maze so only those with *chappa* or connections can pass through, while the rest of us just burn our phone batteries and our patience.
