It was the third consecutive year I have been doing it with him! So, what happened in the next couple of days was something I never ever thought would have happened; but it happened as I tell you below!
Hence, whenever you go for insuring or reinsuring MAKE SURE INSURING HAPPENS THEN & THERE INFRONT OF YOUR EYES that you don’t have to think & then spent more time, energy, money & sometimes LIFE on the things which are not under direct control of human beings!
HOW IT ALL STARTED!

In the evening after waiting for 50 or so mins after calling him he came & taking 600/- issued a document for one day period stating that the very next day he would give the original document as he had to get 'Special Sanction' after sending a 'Special Request' to someone higher in the hierarchy!
HOW IT ALL CONTINUED!

As I hadn't got the document I called him after 6 in the evening or so but he didn’t pick up the phone; but after 15 or 20 mins he called me back & asked me to come to his shop leaving 15 or so mins. Around 7 pm I reached there & then he told me that the document was still not ready & he would sent me email copy of the same without much delay & hand over the document in person, near Sinjana Hotel, around 9 in the same evening, while he going to his home; but that too didn't happen!
After that I waited........! From Wednesday I started to call him again; but his number was out of coverage area! Then, I went to his shop on Friday evening & I was told (By the security @ the Reliance Outlet) that he had gone to Velankanni & would come back the next day ie Saturday; & he asked me to come the very next day evening if I wished to meet him.

10.27am - 1min 22sec - I called his number & got it ringing; he attended the call & told me he would give a call very soon regarding the document. As there was no sign of his call I called him @ 3.43pm to which he didn’t respond!
4.26pm - 2mins 11secs - He called me & told he would send me the document via mail, on 22-01-12, Sunday morning as he hadn't got the document sent from somebody else who was really in possession of the same!
HOW IT ALL ENDED!

As I didn’t get any insurance document via mail till then, I called him @ 5.57pm for 56secs & asked him why he hadn't sent me the document to which he told me that after half an hour or so he would go to his shop & from there he would give me a call & ask my email ID again & sent the document via it!
As there was no sign of his call again I called him @ 7.46pm, but he didn’t pick up the phone.
And, @ 7.48pm I got a call from him lasting 1min 18sec in which he collected my email, again, & told that he would sent the insurance copy via email & if I failed to get it within 10 to 15 mins I would have to give him a call! I waited & got the insurance policy copy via my yahoo mail ID. And, to my great surprise, I found out that the insurance was taken ONLY on 26-01-12, EXACTLY 13 DAYS AFTER I HANDED OVER THE MONEY TO HIM!
THE MORAL OF THE STORY!
What would have happened if I would have met with an accident in these 13 days or the bike had been stolen, as my insurance had lapsed 12 days ago? It is interesting & at the same time stupid to know that I kept riding all these days FEELING INSURED & trusting an agent of an insurance company to whom I had given the insurance premium 13 days back?!
