My son in Dubai, he sends me the forms to sign for his visa renewal—every time I think of the old days when the *mestre* just stamped your paper at the Collectorate, one chai and a nod. Now they want bank statements, insurance, proof of address in Konkani? I tell him, "Beta, keep a photocopy of your birth certificate inside your passport, like I taught you for the *vodd* ceiling fan warranty." Government makes it complicated only so you pay someone to uncomplicate it.
