ATM:All Time Mess!!!!!


Technological advancement has always been the worst nightmare for people like Me!!!! ,who can't seem to catch up with the flowing time.New mobiles,ipods,dig cams.....the working and the procedures ,nothing seems to get into ma small brain which still prefers to live in the stone age.Being wanting to closely associate ma self with the banking sector i shouldn't be telling this:I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH AN ATM!!!!.It seems so peaceful to have hard cash at hand .The idea of ATM cards,credit cards......drives me to the verge of technological breakdown. The Federal bank ATM,(manual ATM)which am used to (only after 5-6 tries) is out of fad (not exactly the actual reason being 0 balance).Of to the biggest government bank ATM.It is impossible not to see long queue in front of the two sister ATMs ,in ma town...One person goes out and other goes in....doesn't even get to see it deserted and maximum a person gets to spent inside the cosy Air conditioned room is the time equivalent to the processing time.With ma previous stint with the Federal bank ATM,i went in confidently to get some Cash and hey

the screen read press "#" to continue and to ma surprise there was no "# button".I stood there staring, as i turned back ,saw a long queue stretching on to the road .Avoiding people's mocking glance i went outside and rang up mom"There is no # button.What kind of an ATM do these banks have mom?"

Mom's answer peeled me in shame"its touch screen dear".Next time, as i went with ma Dad i tried to master the ATM puzzle.sort of successful and i returned back home happily.

Today wanting some urgent cash for ma tutions,i was yet scared with an ATM card by ma mom"go take cash for yourself".Okay how bad can it get?.20 minute people, let me tell you.The screen kept on showing the same thing over and over again"INSERT YOUR CARD PROPERLY".What the hell?????????????and without much delay got out of the cosy air conditioner(was sweating heavily) went back home.Actually does ATM expands as "ALL TIME MESS"?.What about good old ready cash?
