Saturday chores

Went to an unlikely place today. The Sub-registrar's office in Krishnarajapuram. We had sold a piece of land and wanted to get a copy of the Sale deed or the sale copy and all we had to do, actually, was walk up to the officer and fill a form. But no, like everyone else, we caught hold of an enabler (that's what I am calling middlemen or touts) and he undertook the job. Took 200 of the best from my dad and promised to get us the form.

You know what, for some strange reason, we believed him and you know what's stranger still? I am sure he will do the job. That's the way of life here. I am absolutely sure he will call us and tell us that he has found it.

Went in the afternoon with my uncle to the Country Club. He wants to become a member. Decent place and a good deal but I wanted the Sales guy to suffer a longinsh weekend so I advised my uncle to hold on until Monday before becoming a member! Sometimes, the devilish streak in me rises. And how!
