THE DOOR SPRING

The functional paradigm in which an organization of the Government operates is highly different from that of a corporate organization. All the processes are codified and held sanctimonious. One of funniest rules that I came across was about installing a door spring onto the door. 

• To install a door spring in a room, there needs to be an air conditioner in the room.

• To have an air conditioner allocated to the room, that room should have at the least three PC’s (Personal Computers) working in the room; and the room should be of specified dimensions (~For specific dimensions I guess I’ll have to refer to the Gazette).

• So to keep myself from being disturbed, i.e., to have a door spring installed in the room, which costs around five hundred rupees I first need to buy 3 PC’s (costing roughly 1.2 lacks) and than an AC (costing roughly 1.5 lacks).

• Finally this entire process of acquiring PC and AC is going to take more than a year. 

I now make the decision of keeping the door wide open based on the tenet “If you can’t beat them, join them”.
