Do it or Do not???

Thanks dude, you saved me Rs 25000/-
Everyday we are encouraged not to use paper unless n until it's an absolute necessity. The things are stretched to the extent of advising people not to get a print of transactions done on ATM where only a 3×4 inches piece of paper is used. This size is insignificant when we compare it with rims of paper used in every office across the county.
Sarcastically speaking, disobedience of this advise saved me my hard earned Rs 25k.
On that hard day I punched in figures to withdraw Rs 20k from the ATM but in the middle of the process I realized that I had fed some wrong information into the machine. I promptly cancelled the transaction and proceeded with the new transaction afresh. But to my shock n bewilderment I received the message that my daily limit of withdrawal has exceeded. But I had some good stars in my fortune that I had opted for a print of transaction.  Luckily further the machine churned out one and I shoved it carelessly into my pocket.
Bigger shock was awaiting me when I reached home. I received the message of deduction of Rs 25k from my account. That was enough to rattle me. I looked at my watch. It's 8.25am. Banks r still closed. By my standards 25k is a big amount. Compounding the situation was the fact that I had to wait for almost 2 hours to purge my anguish to anyone.
At 10.30 I went to the bank and narrated my ordeal. I was asked to lodge a formal complaint with the bank. The only proof I had was that little piece of paper which proved that 2nd transaction was processed within 5 sec. of the first and there there was no other transaction inbetween. Effectively this means that no other person could have taken the money presuming that the machine delivered 25k of first transaction n someone else took the money. That would not have been possible to prove if I did not have the receipt of 2nd transaction. Retrospectively getting a receipt of the transaction and keeping it safe turned out to be a wise decision. That paper came from a tree and it is imperative on my part to thank HIM or it's HER....
Sorry buddy ( tree) you died but you saved me Rs 25 thousand
