Walkabout

I'm at Bangalore University's Registrar of Evaluations to apply for a set of duplicate marks cards (I lost them. Yes, the entire set.)

I ask for directions to the right counter to submit the forms and a gentleman on the ground floor says
"Upstairu, dead-endu."

Of course that turned out to be the wrong counter. Some serious walking and an adventure with an ice-pick going through the entire sheaf of application forms later, I submit them and go home feeling happier that I'm done with some very overdue paperwork.
