Now suppose your bank balance is Rs. 1000/- and you withdraw Rs. 200/-. This is how the transaction will go.
Please swipe your card and pull it out.
You have Rs. 1000/- in your account.
Please enter the amount you wish to withdraw
Please collect your cash.
Do you want a receipt for this transaction?
You have Rs. 1000/- in your account.
Please enter the amount you wish to withdraw
Please collect your cash.
Do you want a receipt for this transaction?
The moment you agree to a Receipt and press ‘Yes’ the ATM connects and communicates through, a host processor to your Bank’s Server and deducts the amount you have withdrawn from your account and gives you, your latest bank balance in a jiffy, like this.
Here is your new account balance.
Rs. 1000/- IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR ACCOUNT!
Wow!!! And silly, mathematically challenged , me thought it was Rs. 800!!!
And with this I complete 100 posts folks! Thank you! :)
60 comments:
as always the excellent silverine style written allover the post!
Mind Curry: FIrst comment on my 100th post derserves special acknowledgment! Thank you doc for all the times you took the trouble to read and comment. Really appreciate it :)
you know.. my "comment no.1" status was under threat..so had to post one earlier ;)
i think with this 100th post we have understood the person you are a lot better :) kidding..
i should say you are the best! i think everyone will agree that you are top-cat in blogosphere..perhaps if we knew you outside blogosphere, there too!
but i would like to thank you for the wonderful spirit and warmth you have spread through your blog and comments! you have been great! just like the poomanam! keep it coming!
i was afraid if i will lose my 2nd comment status..i did..but thankfuly to you :) but now am worried about my 4th comment status...brrrr!!
i have to add, its been more than a pleasure to read your writing!
I dont understand... You are supposed to be grateful that you have not lost money. Last time I withdrawed Rs 200 from a different bank's ATM and they charged Rs 500 for that transaction... Or is it that you haven't checked your accout... If not, check it immediately and make sure that you dont owe your bank money for all the comforts at the other bank's ATM kiosk ;-) ...
BTW, Congrats for your 100th post...
Unnikrishnan G Nair.

Now its back to silly old boring life as usual after Brazil (and yeah England too) are out of the WC...boohoooo
Congrats Silverine. Me loves your blog! (noooo, only your blog, wont stalk you!)
Havent you thot about freelancing?
Anyways, looking fwd to more of those bone-tickling escapades of yours :-)
Mind Curry: Ok..now you are giving me a swollen head :p Thank you doc, I am def not number one, but I hope I am number one in the number of blog pals :) And I am delighted that you are the number one commenter today!! And the third and fourth too..gosh you are getting your groove back, now I will have to order more medals :)) And it is more than a pleasure goofing around on your blog :p Which reminds me you haven't replied to Miss Scissor's threat :|
:)
Unnikrishnan G Nair: Thank you! :) I guess you didn't get it. The ATM cooly stated the obvious... that after the withdrawal my account balance was not the same as before!
DD: I guess it is the withdrawal symptoms now :)
Aashik:Thank you Aashik :) LOL I have done the same. Then had to re apply for a new Pin number :))
Rushes' Anomaly: *hugs* Thank you dear. It is pleasure having you here :)
Hmmm...congrats on a well complied Century.... ;) each & every run ...err post was classy :)
well, that is an achievement indeed. i used to wonder how u get all the time in this world to update ur blog so frequently. well, alternately, i can see hw ur boss thinks abt u using ur paid office time :p
jokes apart, congrats on ur feat and lets hope to see a hundred more posts coming out of this blog.
Wow... What a a way to make that century.

Espritnoir: Wowwww, now that was one stylish stroke of the pen...er keyboard :) Thank you!!!!! Sachin of the blogosphere??? naah there are many who have finished already, I am the straggler :p
Pravin: Thank you :)
pophabhi: LOL it is the City Bank ATM. I think they should remove that feature and stop making fools of themselves :))
Alexis: Thank you I am honored :)If I knew you were planning on borrowing then I would have perhaps made it Rs. 100 :p When I first saw this at the ATM I burst out laughing because I was waiting patiently for the account balance and here the ATM was telling me that the balance was not the same as before because of the withdrawal. I dont know why they do it?
Imperator...hope I live to blog a 1000 posts :)

I have an ATM and a PIN and this acct has money (atleast that is what I think),I never use atm, its like I'm dashing out of the door and I go, shekar I need some cash.
His usual suggestion: get it frm the ATM
My Response: No time, paise tha
He pulls out a 20 fom his wallet and hands it over...
I have my own personal ATM that doesn't ask me for a PIN
Sachin of the blogosphere - hmm.... What is the equivalent of a Ferrari in blogsphere? And whatever it is, remember to pay the duty unless you want the torpedoes after you.
Congrats on your hundred - ** hugs and umma**. Oopps withdrawing the same bcoz my wife just gave me the stare :-)

Shruthi: Thanks dear. If they dont know the new balance then why say that the account doesn't have your previous balance, we know that don't we? Damn silly I say :))
Thanu: Thanks :) "I have my own personal ATM that doesn't ask me for a PIN LOL You know that way I have 4 ATMs in the house :p
Browser: ROFL
You just made my day! Tell your wife she has a dashing guy as her hubby :)) And thanks for the wishes, will pay my duties if and when I get a Ferrari, cos I don't want to be torpedoed :))

c ya
Haila Hundred! Sahi hai. Congrats n all. 100 posts available in your account :P
Im fairly recent to blogosphere... but I must say I enjoy reading u the most. Congrats on the 100 and here's hoping MNC Banking gets more sensible by the time u hit the next 100. :)
I wouldnt blame the MNC Bank ATM by any chance. It was merely being risk-averse like most Indian bankers are. It definitely couldnt commit the exact balance amount you have. So it gave you the most obvious information it could! You can probably say that the ghost of the Indian Banker resides in all MNC Bank ATMs too. :-)
Congrats on your 100th post!
:))
keep up ur adorable style..
Silveriiiiiiiiiine
century maari!!!
congrats babez... you raak!!!!
hopes you keeps the on writings... and we keeps the you wishings
congrats on the golden run!!!!

Abhishek Mathew
You know that way I have 4 ATMs in the house :p
You know that way i have 3 ATMs in my house..but when i ask for money they give me the pin! and it hurts! :)
hehe.. good one
congrats dear..:)
n keep going..
Prevention is better that cure. I learned a lot about ATM's from your post and other' comments. I won't commit the mistakes!
Eventhough I started reading your blog from your 98'th post, I was thoroughly impressed. Keep up the good work.
Cheers. By the way when will we get the party? 100 is definitely worth a celebration. Book a 5 star hotel for the party! We are waiting ...
Deepa: Hug Appu? *UGH* he drools :( Thanks dear for the wishes :)
Pratish: :p
Beuls: Thank you dear, keep blogging and I hope I get to wish you on your 50 and 100 :)
Kurur: Thank you! You just made that ATM look smart by that comment :)
HnL: Thank you doc :)
Lalit: Thank you buddy, you raak too !!! :)
Lash: It was City Bank and thanks :)
Abhishek: Thank you dear :)
Mind Curry: LOL good one doc :)) *Ouch* that must hurt...and pinch too :p
Reshmi: Thank you :)
Pritika: Glad you got the joke gal :p
Johny: This was not a mistake..the ATM didnt have the latest balance and so it merely stated that the old balance was not the same anymore :) Party? Let me reach 200 then there will def be a party ;)
100 and all amazingly refreshing posts.Truly appreciate your sense of subtle humour..The one on buying PC with your uncle was a jaw breaker ..keep writing..Can we something on the World cup too ??
Clap clap for all the nice posts which contributed to the century
don't get me wrong, but for the 100th post this is pretty unremarkable. maybe you have set the bar high by now. you should take it as an underhanded complement, you know.
yeah, it's just a blog and you're no professional, we know. the comments are a little over the top, but that ain't your fault. but still pay a lil more attention, and you'll be all good.
keep up the spirit.
Amitabha: Thank you :)
Lijo: *silverine bows to the applause * :)
Anon: I am really sorry that you had to go through the trouble of word verification, advice and 'underhanded compliment' etc. because you got the wrong place dear...as you so astutely observed but forgot in a fit of momentary 'amnesia'...this is a blog and not a Dave Barry colomn :)
And you too keep up the spirit dear...:)
Congrats on your century! Its always fun reading your posts, so keep posting. May you have many more centuries. :)
Woohoo, 100 down, 26000 to go!!
Woohoo!!
My congratulations for this "one hundred posts of humour and wisdom." May God give you more and more super hits..!
