The Fed Grinder · Mumbai, India
The road to Mumbai is long, but the ledger travels light. These days, Mumbai travelers stop at the Quick Stop when the highway brings them through, and The town ledger lists Mumbai among friends.
Down at the end of Main Street sits the Fed Grinder — McSkunkville's legendary engine of accountability. Feed it a wrong, and it grinds out paperwork: complaints, exhibits, sworn statements, all stamped and certified, until the wrong is set right.
Nobody remembers who built it. Everybody remembers the day it started running and never stopped. It hums louder when officials misbehave, and it has never once run out of paper.
The town motto is etched on its housing: They talk; we file.
Worldwide Access — The Fed Grinder greets readers in Mumbai and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
