“give a latest telephone bill and one that is year old to prove that you have been staying at the address for more than a year. These things are no where to be found on the website.”

You gotto be kidding me. They have to mention this on the site !

Anyways thanks for your help. I will update this and make a comment after my visit to them.

Thanks and regards,
Jimmy

@Jimmy, I don’t know but probably not.

I contacted a passport agent and I was told they are many more papers required like for address proof you have to give a latest telephone bill and one that is year old to prove that you have been staying at the address for more than a year. These things are no where to be found on the website.

“I collected all papers and today on my appointed date and time visited the nearest passport application collection center at Kandivali. There I was told it is accepted at Worli not there”

Does this mean you would have had no problems had you gone to Worli at the date and time given to you ?

Awesome blog & even the comments……..a lot needs to be changed right from the “roots” of the Educational-System , & thus the society at large. Right from our child-hood we are taught/motivated to do something simply bcoz “all” are doing it !!

Why did u come to Engg ?? Bcoz *all* do .
Why do u study ?? Bcoz *all* do.
Why are u appearing for GATE/GRE ?? Bcoz *all* do.
.
.
.
Why do u live life ?? Bcoz *all* do !!

I am not sure whether this is a problem, or whether it is in any way India specific. Most of all you folks have come from an engineering background – those with a non-engineering background can answer how many of their classmates in college were passionate about their own disciplines.

Yes, it is great to have employees who are passionate about their profession, but it is probably an universal fact that most salaried professionals around the world do what they do for the money and not because they are passionate enough to use their professional skills for their personal benefit. To them there is more to life than coding in their spare time, but whatever they are actually passionate about (watching movies, travelling, sports, etc) won’t make them any money. :) You need code monkeys, they need money to leave cushy lives, it is actually a win-win. For that part of your job reqs which actually demand creativity, exercise more discretion and only recruit passionate techies who will dream about your business problems 24×7.

Those with passion are likely to be the thought leaders in the profession, and here that would probably support your hypothesis why we don’t yet have world class software products made in India.
