Senior Citizen

An old lady goes to her bank and presents a cheque for Rs 1000/- to the cashier.

Cashier: Dadi ji, you should withdraw such small amounts from the ATM outside. Don't waste a cheque leaf and my time.

Old lady: What's the problem with giving me Rs 1000/- cash?

Cashier: Sorry Dadi ji, can't be done. You either go to the ATM, or increase the amount to be withdrawn.

Old lady: Okay, I want to withdraw all money in my account, keeping a minimum mandatory balance.

The cashier checks her account balance and finds it to be  Rs 10 lakhs 10 Thousand.

Old lady: How much can you give me right now?

Cashier: (checks the bank's cash balance) Dadi ji, I can give you Rs 10 lakhs straight away.

The old lady tears off the earlier cheque of Rs 1000/-, writes a new one for Rs 10 lakhs and hands it to the cashier.

While the young girl is gone to the vault to get the cash, the old lady grabs a cash deposit slip from the public shelf and fills it up.

The young girl returns with the cash, meticulously counts out Rs 10 lakhs, gives it to the old lady and says_ "there you are, Dadi ji. Now you will have to carry this pile home on your own. But count your money before leaving the counter. I won't entertain any complaint later."

The old lady picks out two notes of Rs 500/- from the pile, puts them in her purse and says_ "I trust you, beta, I don't need to count. Now, here's a cash deposit slip. Please deposit Rs 9,99,000/- into my account and give me the stamped and signed counterfoil. And yes, count the cash in my presence."

Moral of the story: 
Don't mess with senior citizens!

Harnessing the Power f words...

Have u ever noticed that during those times you were convinced something would go wrong, it usually did? “I’m going to mess this speech up; they’re not going to like me; I am not good enough.” On the other hand, in those times when you were convinced you couldn’t fail, things tended to go smoothly and successfully. “I can’t lose; I just know there is a connection; I have what it takes.” While we all have varying degrees of psychic knowing, these self-fulfilling prophecies have more to do with mindset than intuitive premonitions. ​ Negative self-talk comes in many forms. It may sound factual, “I won’t get the raise,” prudent, “If I try, I’ll fail,” or like a realistic observation, “I am all alone.” Negative self-talk hinders our healing, growth, evolution, and ascension, creating adverse outcomes for ourselves and our lives.   We all have an occasional dark cloud floating across our clear mental skies. However, it can’t rain every day! The more negative thoughts we have, the more ne...

Surrendering a policy: When should you do it — and should you at all?

Hi There, Individuals must look at the reason for surrender — whether they need the money or they think they can't make future premium payments — and accordingly make their decision... It is ironical that at a time when one is in desperate need of his/ her money, while surrendering a traditional policy (endowment or money back), policyholders in the majority of cases end up with a surrender value that is even lower than the premiums paid. Post pandemic the economy, and livelihoods, 2021-22-23witnessed a sharp spike in insurance policies being surrendered ahead of their maturity. Data show that more than  2.3 crore life insurance policies were surrendered  during the year — more than three times the number of policies (69.78 lakh) surrendered in 2020-21. It is ironical that at a time when one is in desperate need of his/ her money, while surrendering a traditional policy (endowment or money back), policyholders in the majority of cases end up with a surrender value that is even...
