I think this post conveys a little bit of the frustration that normal (sane) Indians feel everytime they to deal with public or private bureaucracy. After 4-5 such mind numbingly stupid episodes, your spirit is crushed and unless you are made up of a special kind of Iron in your soul, you begin to despair for India.
Unfortunately for the author, he (assumption) got caught in the double f*kup - an incompetent HR dealing with an bureaucratic Govt. ruleset regarding foreign currency, tax and payments.
This is NOT the exception. He did NOT get unlucky. This is the norm for Indian systems. If they work seamlessly first time around, it is a miracle. Let this be a warning to those with Great dreams of coming to India and making it big. The level of dysfunction, inefficiency, bureaucracy and corruption in India is just staggering.
