My passport application has been delayed for a month. I had to go and put my application on priority (indirect tatkaal). Otherwise it would have taken me another month and a half more to get the passport.
Everything did go amazingly smoothly on 15 July (yesterday). One amazing instance in which the tatkaal form counter was about to close at 12:00 pm and I was there exactly as the time turned 12:00 pm. If I was a minute late I would have to come back next day.
Mercury was sextiling my Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at that time. Mercury sextile Jupiter was at exactly 10:57 am and Mercury sextile Saturn was at 4:33 pm
I also had a glue stick and passport size photos with me at the time I was asked to submit the tatkaal form. Besides, I shared the glue stick with two others who did not have glue.
