Imagine a situation when you need to deposit some cash urgently but don't have enough with you and all the ATMs in the area are not working either. You could find yourself in such a helpless situation. Such a thing happened to Varijashree Venugopal in Hyderabad recently when she was in the city for her visa interview.

She needed to deposit Rs 5,000 as visa fee  but had only Rs 2,000 with her and the ATMs in the city weren't working either due to some issue that day. She even requested shopkeepers to help her by swiping her card for some cash but that didn't work out either.  

"We visited about 10 to 15 ATM centres, without any luck. Seemed like there was a strange problem with all ATMs in Hyderabad. I even requested a few stores with ATM machines, if they could swipe my card and give me cash, but in vain,"

In that helpless situation she found a good samaritan in her auto driver. Read her Facebook post to find out what happened:



Her post has received 4,801 shares and over 21,000 likes on Facebook.










“God manifests in the most strangest and beautiful ways. A new life lesson learnt everyday! I am honoured to find a friend in you, Baba. Thank you for reminding me that humanity is the greatest religion of all”, the woman posted.
