India Post

I had sent a PAN card application via speed post on 18th of September 2010 from IIT Madras to Pune. When I tried to track my application on the website for PAN card tracking, it said that my application has not yet reached them. So I went to the India Post site to track my speed post only to find that there was no information about delivery. It did show a detailed movement from the IIT Madras Post Office to the Pune Post office, but there it ended. So, I got worried and immediately mailed the Speed Post In-charge at Pune regarding the same. The mail was sent at 7:17 pm so I expected to get some reply tomorrow and they if they dont reply by the evening, I decided to make a telephone call. But amazingly, at 7:45pm I got a reply confirming the delivery of my post! I was amazed at the quickness!!! They actually checked the mail, looked at the records and got back to me with the confirmation.

We always end up cribbing about the slowness or the insensitivity of Government offices. I felt that we should also commend them whenever we receive a good service.
Hats off to INDIA POST :-)

Email is a privilege these days :). Everybody likes using mail, instead of the mundane paper communication. And our government is not bad at all :).

Consider my mom who works in revenue department. Obviously many people crib about that department. But after moving to computer age, things have changed a lot. And even my mom who doesn't know proper English checks mail :D. But still there are negatives associated, like reduced jobs, etc. But there is always good and bad associated with each action. I support the the change as I feel that it has lot of advantages compared to the disadvantages.

Things are changing and I guess we are still a developing country and not an underdeveloped country :P.

Good luck to our mother India. Hope she continues her amazing pace. Jai Hind!
