Visit local RTO Jayanagar Bangalore for hypothecation cancel on my own - gutsy

The BDA complex at Jayanagar 4th block, Bangalore is where most government related offices are. It also has RTO offices on 3rd and 4th floor.

Another discovery for the day was parking on terrace of BMTC building right opposite BDA complex. The charges are Rs 20 for around 4 hours. You have to travel 4 levels to reach the level. It was afternoon so was easier to go up and down but I am sure during peak hours it will be quite challenging to get the car up and down.

I was greeted by a stranger on Ground level.
"Do you have work in RTO?"
I said Yes.
What is it? Show me your RC book? Come to our office at basement.
I said I heard the office is on level 3.
NO, come down and we will get everything done.
I managed to ask him for the charges for hypothecation cancel and he quoted Rs 650 and delivery by evening. When I started moving the rates dropped to 600.

I was greeted by similar people on almost all levels till I reached level 3. Another agent inside the RTO office discussed his deal with me and also suggested that I go to level 4 where the work will be done. I waited for a person seemingly helping out a lady who was explaining her loss of DL in kannada. I could comprehend her situation but the helping angel across the counter was going in complex loop. After a while both started using me as medium of communication ( I dont know kannada). I asked my query and went on to level 4.

I met the security personal on level 4 and discussed my situation with him. He gave a patient hearing but allowed the conversation to be replied by agent standing beside me. An RTO officer walked passed by but his offerings continued.

Finally ignored the helping agents and walked to lady who was shuffling files on one of the customer facing counter. She narrated list of documents and fees to be paid before the hypothecation cancel process could begin.

I waited for paying cash at the counter and got a receipt for Rs 100 for hypothecation cancel. I went a level down to get envelop. Luckily another agent's shop who refused to do xerox earlier sold me envelop for Rs 20.

Total spend Rs 120 and about 40 mins of time during post lunch period on a warm sunny bangalore winter noon.

Went back to the lady who was charming the man beside her. The man needed signatures on few files. I watched the work and play before I could enforce a hearing. She narrated the list again

  1. Rs 100 fees receipt
  2. Insurance certificate
  3. Self addressed postage paid envelope
  4. RC book
  5. Emission certificate
We got stuck on emission certificate. I presumed that Maruti Swift had the latest engines and did not require them but she insisted on having and I had to walk away for another time. 

The omnipresent agent was near the lift and also gestured that he had seen me parking my vehicle across on level 4 on opposite BMTC building. He also dropped the offer to Rs 400, without emission certificate and delivery by evening promise. I thanked him . 

Hope to make some more progress next time around. The NOC from Bank has 3 months validity. So some time to kill before the next attempt.

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl

Final Group Sadhana with HariHaran Mani

Today's meditation was drive down the memory lane. The events of the past few months/years simple drizzled in and out. The location had been flat#508 Cassia block in Brigade Millennium. The flat was on rental by  +Hariharan Mani , an +Art of Living  teacher, actuarial practitioner and meditator from Mumbai. It was here that we began our Group Sadhana about a year and half back. Today's idea was from  +Balakrishnan Ganesan  and original idea was from Shuchi. All of us are in photo above. Yesterday Bala said, lets do it for one last time. He messaged again that we had to bring our own yoga mats. There was a time when we had kept one carpet for morning Group Sadhana at Hari's flat. People joined and left us at different points of time. I remembered that Agnihotra Homa was to be performed at sunrise so messaged back that my entry would be delayed. In the end we gave a moist eyes good byes to Mr Hari and his bangalore stay. His memories and common moments will remain wi

सोहम का महत्व - live ashtavakra by Sri Sri RaviShankarji

मैं वही हूँ. न मैं त्रितिये व्यक्ति मैं हूँ, न द्वितीये व्यक्ति मैं हूँ. मैं खुद खुदा हूँ. सो हम. यह नाम तुम्हे दिया गया है. यह तुम नहीं हो. एक बार एक संत जंगल के बीच मैं अपनी झोपड़ी मैं थे. तब वहां कोई ढेर सारा खाना लेके आ गया. उन्हें हैरानी हुई कि ऐसा क्यूं हुआ. तभी वहां ३-४ लोग आये ओर उनसे कहा कि हम भूखे हैं, हमें भोजन चाह्यिये. संत  ने कहा कि मिल जाएगा. वह लोग हैरान हुए ओर कहा कि यहाँ तो कुछ नज़र नहीं आता है. तब संत ने कहा कि "सच है कि मेरे पास कुछ नहीं है, लेकिन मैं जिसके पास हूँ उनके पास सब कुछ है. "   माँ बच्चे  को जन्म देने से पहले ही उसमें दूध आ जाता है. प्रकृति का नियम है कि जहाँ प्यास होनी होती है वहां पहले से पानी व्याप्त होता है. यह दूसरी बात है कि आपको  दीखता नहीं है.   आप पूर्ण हो क्यूंकि आप पूर्ण से बने हो ओर पूर्ण मैं रहते हो ओर पूर्ण मैं जाना है. पूर्ण मैं से पूर्ण को निकालने से क्या पूर्ण अधूरा हो जाता है. आप अकेले से बोर क्यूं होते हैं, क्यूंकि आप ने अपने आप को नीरस कर दिया है. आपके पास जिस परमात्मा को होना था वह आपको कहीं ओर दीखता है. आपके पास
