Today is kinda bad day for me. Is it? Just see how all these things happened to me in last 30 minutes.
- No one is at home.
- Opened the fridge and nothing in there. I’m damn hungry.
- Checked my wallet, luckily found Rs.100 cash in it so was thinking what to order on phone in just Rs.100.
- Received a phone call from my aunt. Now I had to go to pick my little cousins from school and drop them at their grandma’s home. The precious Rs.100 will now be gone!
- Oh yea! and forgot to tell you, don’t even have a bike or car. So went on a Rickshaw to pick the children. On the way the Rickshaw wala was in such a hurry that he didn’t see the speed breaker and my head banged on the rod.
- Took the children dropped them at their grandma’s home, and asked the Rickshaw wala to drop me at the ATM Machine. Gave Rickshaw wala the only Rs.100 note and thought he will charge me like Rs.50 but that idiot didn’t had any change and the whole market was closed. So that trip (just like 3km total) costed me Rs.70.
- Went into the ATM to get some cash out so that I can order something to eat. The card went in, the message appeared “Please wait while we process your transaction” and the screen stuck! Nothing is working. The card is still in, and holy shit .. it gave the message “ATM is out of service, Sorry for the Inconvenience!”
- I went into the bank, asked the guy at a desk to get my card out. He asked me to wait. After 15 minutes – Yes Yes Yes! he got up from his seat and took out my card. I got it back in my hand.
- I went back into the ATM, entered my card – Wow, it accepted it. I entered my Pin code, entered the amount to withdraw and a message appeared “Sorry this ATM is out of cash”. F**K!
- Now what to do! Oh there is another ATM near by, let go there!
- Outside the ATM room on the door it was written “ATM ki service arzi toor par band hai, hum mazraatkhuan hain” (ATM Service is temporarily out of service, we are sorry for the inconvenience)
- Hungry, and with my face down .. I just walked back to home .. and now here I am writting my damn story of last 30 minutes.
Hi,
I’m just getting started with my new blog. Would you want to exchange links on our blog-rolls?
BTW – I’m up to about 100 visitors per day.

(yesterday) i went 2 awami markaz.. no color printer … no gift shop open for framing it .. no market nearby .. rest of the shops closed .. then found one finally . lekin no light .. in another one.. no net .. another one no frame.. and finally.. i got a small color print out .. and gave it frameless for delivery 2 tcs ppl.. he said i’ll arrange a frame.. by night .. his friends not home.. no shop open.. see.. when one thing goes wrong .. u gotta keep tryin .. so today ..i tried again .. but no car .. no driver .. and now.. i wonder is a frame such a big thing?? and for the person whom the delivery is to be made is not even available .. but efforts never go in vain .. where there is a will there is a way .. & that is ALLAH’s will.. inspite of how much we try .. if he has not destined it it wont happen.. so even choti choti cheezon k liye we shud ask HIM for it . .

Finally I had lunch .. I had a pathetic chicken biryani .. but I loved it, because I was hungry .. and I’m thanking to Allah for his blessing and food that he gave me. Allah ka lakh lakh shukar hai!
chulooo mil to gya naaa
Yea, finally mil gaya!
loooooolll… now thats a true pakistani ATM
possessed
You know except for the Rickshaw – I have felt your pain! Except in the USA – your ATM card gets consumed by the ATM machine… you have to order a “new one” from your bank!!! So, things could be worse… lol and you did finally get some chicken to eat!! ;+)
HAHAHA, this was so funny -_-
