THOSE WHO TALK AND WRITE IN NEWSPAPERS OFTEN DO NOT UTILIZE THE SERVICES BUT VOICE THEIR OPINIONS ON HEARSAY AND RUMOURS: Prompt Passport Service It has becomes fashionable, especially among our highly vocal upper muddled class, to endlessly carp about how bad things are in this country, and how wonderful everything is “abroad”. Well, sometimes we should also talk loudly when things go well over here. As our passports were due for renewal, my wife and I decided, not without some trepidation, to make an application, book an appointment, and pay the requisite fees online. We need not have worried; the processing on the passport website went off seamlessly. This was on November 14. We were given an appointment at the Passport Seva Kendra for the very next working day, November 17. There was quite a large crowd, and we anticipated some delay. However, everything was done efficiently. We received continuous updates on our application status by email as well as through SMS. Imagine our disbelief yesterday, the Nov 18, when the doorbell rang and we found our new passports delivered by speed post. It was just one day after submitting the applications. Our thanks and sincere appreciation is due to the officers and staff of the Passport Office, Goa, for truly excellent performance.
