I visited the neighbourhood ATM today evening. I find a receipt sticking out of the slot which spits out the withdrawal receipts. This was how it read like.. kind of.
WITHDRAWAL : Rs. 100
REMAINING BALANCE: Rs. 2,29,146
The withdrawal was made from a non-ICICI bank account. That was because the output print format was different from ICICI accounts.
Now what could the possible reasons be for someone who had 2.29L in his account to withdraw just 100 bucks and be in such tremendous rush that he couldn't wait or forgot to collect the receipt.
A very plausible explanation is that he fell short by a very short amount to pay someone who couldn't wait for long. That amount in my opinion would be much lesser than Rs. 100. And though the fact that he had 2.29L in his account had nothing to do how much he'll have in his wallet but it does tell us that he must be having a reasonable income to maintain this amount. It could be payment for the auto rickshaw fare or to a fruit/ vegetable vendor or someone who couldn't accept plastic money!
Another thing worth pondering is to why didn't he withdraw a higher amount which would take care of his future expenses too. For all I know all this could be just a show off thing. I mean just to make the next innocent withdrawer from the ATM wonder about it or leave him awestruck.
Extremely uniquely & very very strange.
Cheers!
