Beaurocratic or adjectives I don't like

First thing on my mind when I woke up the other day: an ordinary day, just like any other day of the week...

Well, that I was totally wrong did not slightly surprise me...there was no ordinary day during the preparation of my internship in India! At first I thought good things come to those who wait...but they didn't^^ somehow the only thing I can do about that fact is to wave at these moments when they're passing by ;)

However, back to the roots, to where it all began.

If there's anything you need even more than a flight to India, it is a visa! Not to mention that both of them are indispensable...(just imagine arriving at the airport and being like 'hmmm, I knew I forgot sth...')
Well, I was about to change the fact that I had a flight but not a visa yet. There's just one thing you have to know about applying for a visa for India...that there is nothing like "just one thing"...

First things first: I called the embassy of India in Berlin and had to find out that the embassy there is not responsible for applicants from 'Baden-Württemberg'. Well, you live and learn! So I called the consulate general in Munich...three times...and a few times more! Phone engaged...always. But then, finally, I got through, sending my regards to 'Deutsche Telekom' and was surprised to find out, that the consulate general is not responsible for the applications of visa but an outsourced company called 'Cox & Kings'. Great news, finally I knew who to call :)

Nothing new there, I tried a bazillion times till I reached someone in the end.
-'Hm, so you're on an internship, right? You have to apply for a business visa!' (Wow, that easy :))
-'Thank you very much! Are you really sure about that? It is important to know for me!' (whispering in the backround)
-'Oh wait, no! You have to apply for an employment visa!' (not that easy at all -.-, no surprise there...)
-'Okay, so it's an employment visa then!'
-'Wait, I gotta check again, just to be sure...' (well... I can imagine how hard it has to be: to choose between 6 different types of visa if you have a job which deals 24/7 just with one thing: visa...)
-'It is the business visa, please apply for the business visa. The embassy will decide which visa you get' (why don't I just send a blank form...that just takes the biscuit...)

In the end I had to find out (via the company I'm working for in India) that I have to apply for an entry visa. It could have been so easy...
