Today after a lot of struggle, I finally managed to find a BSNL stall where they were selling the 3G SIMs. I enquired what documents they wanted, and asked him till when he would be around. He assured me it would be till 6 PM - I asked this around 1PM. I go home, collect the documents and return to the stall at 3PM, only to see the chap has left. No wonder the BSNL guys suck.
