PUC

Today, we were going on a bike and my friend needed a PUC “certificate” for his bike. We stopped by one of those stranded omnis where they issue such certificates. These are more of a stationary booth than a vehicle. I wonder if they ever move. Anyways, that’s not the point.

Now, the issuing person was at a nearby paan-bidi stall. He came to the vehicle as he saw us approaching. We asked him for the certificate and how much it costs. He said 30 bucks. Fine… He took a small 3”X2” piece of paper, wrote some random numbers of indicating CO and harmful gases contents, put a stamp with a date and handed it over to us. Now that’s some way of making money!
