I was searching for my 10th certificate everywhere in the house . I found all the important documents of all the family members except my file .
Huh This 10th certificate ,!why on the earth is it still a mandatory document for proof of date of birth , this government working on the principles of Neolithic age only can answer. I have 5 post graduate degrees but none of them are valid as an evidence of my birth on this earth .
Apply for marriage certificate, apply for gas connection, apply for aadhar, apply for voter card ,apply to any university , apply for pan card , everywhere it is mentioned please produce your 10th mark sheet as a of proof of date of birth .
I was irritated after searching for an hour lost my cool and started shouting at 3 of them . Cribbed about their irresponsibility towards their personal documents and passwords.
