இப்படி இருந்தா எப்படி...

I would like to share my recent experience with regard to the irresposibility level of a renown university in TamilNadu.

I went to this university's chennai office to get one application form and prospectus.

He gave me a sheet of paper in which there were columns for application number, name and phone number (there was another column too, but i dont remember).

I wrote the application number which was in a series and other details too and gave Rs.500 (the cost of the prospectus is Rs. 100).

He checked the number written in the paper and the the one in prospectus he gave me and WROTE THE APPLICATION NUMBER IN THE WHITE PORTION OF THE RS. 500 NOTE.

I was shocked to see this. As RBI (Central bank of India) has announced that no citizen should write anything on the curreny and doing so is an offence. This announcement is advertised in every bank in India.

Uneducated/illitrate people writing phone numbers on currency note are excusable (though, it is still an offence), but goverment offices and Universities not following this rule is the height of irresponsibility.

His reply was funniest(?!) when I told him that writing anything on Indian Currency is an offence. He said that they follow this procedure to track down the person who gave this currency note (through the application number and the name and phone number written in the sheet) in the event that the note is a fake one. GOD!!!!

He didn't have any answers when I said, such a university could use a machine (with UV rays) to identify the fake notes then and there also explained (in vain) that there are several other ways published by the RBI to identify fake currencies.

What I like is his innocence to believe that the person giving a fake note would give his correct contact number.

பல்கலைகழகங்கள் தான் நாட்டில் அறிவு விளக்கை ஏற்ற வெண்டியவர்கள். ஐய்யா... நீங்களே இப்படி இருந்தா எப்படி...
