ATM with notes facility

ATM – Automated Teller Machine usage has become part of our day to day life activities. We withdraw very often in a month right from the salary day J till account balance is zero. L

But the pain part apart from zero balance is the calculation that where I have spent it. Monthly or quarterly or annual bank account statement helps us in these calculations, but only to certain extent, as it only shows the withdrawal amount with date and time. So there has to be facility in ATM while withdrawing to enter note against each transaction.

Eg. While withdrawing cash for paying house rent then just enter a note – “House Rent” in ATM, while withdrawing.

This will make life easier with just one more step!!

What is GREEN in GO-GREEN Midnight MARATHON?

Yesterday night, thousands of Bangaloreans came out to participate in “Bengaluru Midnight Marathon 2010”. They all were running for a noble cause i.e. to SAVE our planet EARTH with so called theme “Run for GREEN”.

Even I was present at that event. I found that “GO GREEN” marathon was violating its fundamental rule which is to... GO GREEN.

· There was lots of lighting done on road as if we were celebrating Christmas or Diwali. Such decorations were not at all required as we were running for noble cause to stop “wastage of energy”. To add to it, in spite of street lights, focus lights were arranged on the road and to supply power to these focus lights special generators were arranged. These generators were generating electricity from one of the depleting resource – “Diesel”. Not to mention, these generators were also GENERATING pollution L.

· For marathon, one side of road was blocked! Hence only one way was available for two way traffic. This lead to the heavy traffic jam. This traffic jam again added to some more pollution L.

· The event also promoted extensive use of plastic via “Advertisement hoardings” and “water bottles served at stalls”. I agree that water bottles are getting recycled but what about the painted hoardings? L

In nutshell, what is the need of having such “NO-GO GREEN” marathon? There are many other ways to pass message – GO GREEN!!

Like the one I am doing now.. the electronic way - through my blog!!!
