Let me tell you that my service experiences are not to demoralise any govt servants or to create an image that the govt service is rotten fully.But i cannot hide things which I have experienced in my 38 years  service from 71 -2009 june including my IAS service for sixteen and half years.Please excuse me  if I have irritated any Govt.servant..I am sure in one thing that even an enemy of me will never say That I had been corrupt..I still do not know who taught our govt servants to be  so stiff and unpleasant towards public.

Some years back.When the ration cards were revised my wife's name was  entered there wrongly.Her name is Omana but in the card it was Bhavana.(Naturally my wife asked  whether i have any additional wife named Bhavana)So to get it corected my wife approached rationing office.The section clerk indifferently asked to come after2 weeks.After 2 weeks my wife goes to the office and tells the clerk that she has come after the 2 weeks.Then the clerk insultingly asked"Oho..athra kiru krithyamayi varan ningalodu aru paranju?"

My wife was irritated and told him"Maryadakku samsarikkanam.undestand that I am also working in another office"

"Ningal athiravile enne maryada padippikkan vannathano?"his response

"Maryada kuravanenkil chilappol padippikkendi varum"My wife's reply

Enthinu parayunnu.The cofrontation developed to situations.My wife's friend girl advised to my wife  not to talk further with him but  to meet the supply officer personally and introduce herself.My wife met the officer and said she is so and so and the wife of PC Sanalkumar IAS.

Hearing my name the officer asked her to take the seat and called her 'Madam'

"Excuse me madam.I will do the needful." W

thin 15 minutes he returned the ration card with the correction attested.My wife became OMANA from Bhavana.

You just think.It was due to my identity and celibrity only that the officer interfered and solved the issue.Otherwise she would have to suffer a lot.This is the typical nature of a govt.office.
