Oh the Irony!

Today I finally went to get my Indian visa renewed. Got all the paperwork together and hoofed it over to the consulate here in DC.

Turns out they've decided to outsource the visa process to a private company! So the country that is absorbing a large amount of outsourced work from the U.S. had decided to follow the model and outsource a key function of their own!
I'm sure the poor woman who mans the visa desk is happy. I just wonder if she'll still have a job next week.
