Let me narrate how a typical State Govt official functions in TN ( from my personal experience )

11 am reporting to office ( 1 hr late)

After arrival discuss with colleagues about reasons for late arrival for 15 minutes

20 minutes setting up his/ her table n sit amongst files

Visit suprintendents table or cabin n come back to desk

Upon arrival 3 to 4 people will be waiting to enquired about the status of their files , give each one a reason for delay, usually blame heavy work Lord. 30 minutes gone

Then tea time , 30 minutes gone

After tea time back to suprintendents desk, talk about some file , talk about GO etc , remember no work has happened since morning , but plenty of talk about files n work 😀

Then invariably a call comes about post lunch department meeting , another half an hour gone

Then come back to desk fiddle around with some files you know they are so duty consciousness

Now it's lunch time honey

Usually lunch lasts somewhere form 60 minutes to 90 minutes at times it can last more

Post lunch Usually starts by 2.30 pm , tring , tring a phone from family

Now it's time for department meeting , In the meeting , everyone looks serious and everyone is talking about one or the other file the collector has asked. Real tu tu mein mein happens , these days a Govt Servant should be rewarded for locating a particular file in time 😀

Funny part is the suprintendents seems helpless to make the files move , they can't push the hard working employees beyond a point, you know social Justice

After all this it's almost 4 pm time for talk about, GPF, PF, transfer , leave etc etc

Its 4.30 honey , get permission

to leave home early, what a heavy days work

You know how much more work can one do ?

and this starts all over again next day

No politician has guts to touch these white elephants and stream line the system
