- Paid INR 1,000
Ok, i am just another engineering student based out of south Bangalore. i had just graduated out of college and was very excited to go to USA to pursue my higher studies. Just after Gettin g my student VISA and booking my flight, a friend suggested that i carry a international driving permit so that it would be helpful in USA as public transportation was bad. So i apply for my permit and was asked to have a test drive. I was successful and the police asked me to come at around 4:00pm to the License office to pick up my permit. I went there and this clerk who was supposed to hand over the permit starts talking about how my life would get better once i get to USA and how his life would suck working in india... he goes on and on for half an hour hinting me to bribe him. i had no intentions of giving him anything as i rightly deserved the permit. He then openly asked me to pay him 1000rs or he wouldn't give me the permit. Now i was being a scapegoat here as he started to get more rude with me. then i thought i would rather pay this guy 1000rs than stand there and explain how morally wrong he was!!
well thats my story ..
