I still remember the day I got my first card in my hands.. It was on 27th of May 2008, the day I was joining IBM at Le Meridian Hotel. For those who doesn't know, it is a 5-star hotel :)
My first visit to a star hotel.. Excited meeting fellow IBMers.. greeting with a very big smile.. Happy faces every where... can't forget those days.. Wish I had a camera and capture all those candid moments..
All were busy filling out details and signing God-only-knows-how-many times on the application.
Here comes an announcement asking to choose a bank in which we would like to open our salary account.. My batch was asked to go with the HDFC bank as we were told to pay a certain bond amount, which later no one asked..
It is now, this very moment, this little thing - my first debit card was given to me..
Hated by its looks, but after all it is my first card which fills up every month without fail for the work I do :)
Not to forget the day I used it first time to change the PIN to my most fav 4 digit number "1887". (Yes, no kidding it was my PIN for more than 2 years)
As days passed on card changed being more flexible, weak and also looked fragile. I was waiting for the disaster to happen very soon. My little card didn't allow me to wait for very long and it soon split into two..
My love towards first card didn't allow to throw it away..
Some stupid idea in me made to test it and there goes my little fellow's magic.. It is still alive and served me for many days though it was split.
I totally ignored its last wish of applying for a new card while it is still serving me in final stages. And after a certain period it is dead, gone, long-beep!
End of the first card.
Birth of second DebitCard:
Well, I actually shouldn't say the birth of it as I don't know when it was manufactured. (I cracked a Joke, kindly laugh, at least a small one)
Months passed away without a debit card. I've to say it is not that hard to survive without one when you have friends who are ready to give money when ever you ask :-P.. Ok, you got it I again cracked and please don't laugh this time.
But it's my friend card that helped me all these days, and so my credit card wherever it can be used.
Finally I realized the need of having my own card, and now I've one.
Yes, it is the one you can see in the picture.
Today, 16th Dec 2010 I changed my PIN which I wont reveal :)
For those who are wondering about the stars and hearts on my card, I made them myself as I can't stay alive if I wake up with a zero balance the next minute. I've to keep it Confidential :)
