Getting a Driver's License

At the local Department of Motor Vehicles today, I was directed to:

Go to Tree Number 10.

Ask to see this man who will be waiting in a rickshaw.

He points and tells me to go to an office we can see from the tree where I will get digitally photographed and thumb printed.

After waiting in line with others for a mere 6 minutes, I'm photographed and digitally in the system.

I come back to the original guy at the rickshaw and he says, go to another tree and give a different man 30 rupees (65cents) for him to get my paperwork together.

That man tells me to go back to Tree Number 10 and get my paperwork stapled....

I should have my license by the end of the week.

Wow!

Here, Promeet is teaching Danielle to make potato (aloo) stuffed bread (paratha). They were good and didn't last long!
