i always try not to go to a government office in usual circumstances, and try to find someone who can do the work for me. but today i was short of time so i had to do the work myself. i needed to post two letters urgently…u ppl must be laughing at me as im still talking abt letters and snail mail in the cyber age…but i cant send an email or cant even use a courier to drop something in a PO Box…i heard a good deal about the revamped face of the Pak Post on KMB and some other forums, so I reluctantly decided to visit the nearly post office to buy the envelopes and post the letters then and there. As I stepped into the post office, the government office ambiance was all too evident. Everyone was standing and waiting for someone to attend them…but all the staff was bz in doing some work which was not at all related to the office…staff was just strolling here n there, arranging their stuff, talking to each other, but not in least bit interested in doing the work which they r supposed to do there…later I found out that as it was the shift change time, at 3 pm, and the staff was commencing its day, and we never work in the starting half an hour or even a full hour. Now that was quite a situation for me as it was pretty hot and I didn’t want to spend next 30 mins or so in that heat. An idea popped up in my mind and it was a good one…I heard in the news a couple of days back that Pak Post has issued some postage stamps on the Birthday of BB…I asked the nearest staff member for them…and I could see the delight on his face on hearing the name of BB…he instantly came to me and told that the head office has not provided them but I may get those stamps in a couple of days…as if I really need them

Certainly it is the condition of almost all the Govt. offices. I don’t know why people work in the private places while don’t even bother to think in the Govt. places. It’s a sad thing for me. Privatization is not the solution. The only solution I can think of is injecting honesty in the people of Pakistan.

but we cant just go to a hospital to get injected with honestly…this has to taught from the very childhood…from our parents…in the schools…but they also belong to the same society…there has to be a starting point…i cant see one :S

Yes honesty has to be injected in the societies and it takes generations for the complete injection. Somebody must atleast start ..
