Dear Diary,

It’s aptly said that a positiveattitude always makes a personcontended and happy. OnMaker Sankranti, when allschools and offices in Delhiwere closed, my office wasopen. On my drive to office, Inoticed that almost all roadswere empty. That was themoment when I felt like theboss of Delhi’s roads. It’s wellsaid that taking things in apositive manner makes our lifefull of enthusiasm.

Dear Diary,

Recently, I had to go to thecourt to submit an importantaffidavit. As my council wasbusy elsewhere, I had to do theneedful on my own. But thechaotic state of that court

appaled me. It is really a task tohunt for the affidavit paper,from gettting it typed to gettingit attested from the notary.Now, I could run around and getthe task done, but not withoutthe ‘price’. I don’t mind shellingout money for the right reasons,but to be harrased is somethingI detest. From buying out thestamp paper, to getting it typed,and then getting it signed by thenotary, everything has a priceto it. And the best part is youcan’t argue with anyone or eventhink of ‘negotiating’. The work,which can be finished in anhour’s time, took me at leastthree hours. Coming back fromthe court, I called up my lawyerand had an argument with himthat what was the use of payinghim so much if he had no con-cern for me and my case. Cananyone tell me how this nationcan progress? -Anita malik
