Yippee,
Remember how made such a hue and cry on literally being duped of those 785 at the Petrol Pump! So the rest of story is like this.
After having called at the ICICI call center, I was sure that I am not going to get the money back anyhow. Since the person on the other side had told me that nothing can be done now and had asked me to deal with the petrol pump in this matter! Whew! Now I know, one should not believe them always! After some days of that phone call, I decided to write to ICICI Bank on their help desk email id. I was under the impression that I will get a similar kind of response telling me that my money cant be refunded and all that stuff. But to my surprise, I got a good reply 2-3 days later to that. They had explained me the whole process behind the swipe card funda at retail outlets. The email told me a way to claim my money. They told me that if Mastercard (my card issuer) doesont claims the amount in 30 days, the amount will be credited back in my account! They told me that, if the petrol pump people did not had a receipt at all then they cant send it to Mastercard, who in turn cant claim from ICICI and so the amount which at the repsent moment has been debited from my account will be credited back! I was not so sure of this. Actually not sure that the petrol pump didn.t had the receipt. Anyways, they also had given me an alternative in case of amount is claimed by MasterCard. They had said that I need to write a letter to the bank explaining what happened and then the bank will try to get it settled from MasterCard people, if they do agree. However, this was just being done for the matter of addressing customer and didn't guaranteed result! But I was happy that at least the bank is ready to do this much!
So on 27th of this month, the amount was finally credited back to my account, without writing a letter! Well, after so many bad experiences with ICICI, I had a good experience to count!

Ungrateful!
This was long time due! Actually, lately I am not feeling well. I have got a backache which is troubling me now from sometime. I dont know the reason, maybe my matress is to be blamed or may be my long hours in office before computer (wrong postures, I almost slid myself). this prevents me from sitting at my comp back in flat as my comp still lies on ground :P . I havent bought a table and chair. I had even actually borrowed 5000 bucks from mom n dad in early september last year to buy one but I never hurried up and spent the money somewhere else! Anyways, this was the explanation part. Leave it. Lets hit the subject!
People, in today's world are so ungrateful! I dont know what makes them behave so, but whatever the reason be, it's leading to a world full of people who are ready to use you and as soon as they are done with you, they will slit your throat! Maybe this is exagerration, but they will forget you! This happens every time with me! I was duped, thrown by many of my friends. Well, when I say friends, I considered them to be friend but maybe they never had that feeling in their heart, which I am sure one of the person never had!
So how do you define Ungrateful? A person who shows no gratitude. So what is gratitude? Gratitude in literal sense means "showing appreciation or a feeling of thankfulness". This is what I mean to say when I say that people are not at all grateful. I dont want them to boast of me or to come running after me everytime! Comeone, I am not such a dirty and lousy soul! I also admire appreciation and thankfulness. That's it.
A person who has figured a lot many times in my Life's story so far after college started for me has been the most ungrateful person I ever seen by now. He has despised at many a times yet time and again I forgot everything and helped him in someways or was with him when he felt alone! This person was a good friend of me in college and in 4th semester he showed his conceited nature for the very first time. I was taken back! I took time in forgetting everything and again was having good terms with him. Then our friendship, kind of gathered momentum. We became really good friends. But again, after all the nature can't be changed. He started hitting in blows minor and severe at times. I felt bad and kept ignoring at times. The funny thing was people held so high of him! I am puzzled when I think of many things he did and many times he went ahead and spoke something more than he was supposed to! Never mind! In the last semester he left his project group mid-way to go for company internship. A decision I had always hated! Why? Coz, you dont dump you project group in mid-way. Such actions speak highly of your character and how much one can depend on you! People dint loathed him! they loved him for that :) Towards the end of college he had stopped talking to me. That went for almost till 3-4 months after which somehow, I dont remember how, the talks started. He used to speak a lot against the girl I loved most. I used to refute him and close the discussion. Never I denounced his girlfriend or said anything against her in his face, which was so easy to do coz she was not an angel after all! But I never did so. I have never learnt such things! So it was October, when my mom came to visit me here. His mom also had come to see him. Then their favored and much loved auto walah did a nuisance which irked me a lot! They dint even left my mother in treachery! Again when my mom went, the talks ended. He never called back, never replied to one or two mails. I also snapped all ties. Then I guess talks again started somehow, I dont remember. My relationship was getting screwed and it has virtually ended with the best friend of mine, she was not meeting, calling, mailing, scrapping or even replying to me. Anyways, so this person was living with another college mate of ours who was alos a friend of mine. This person happened to go onsite on his project and his flat mate shifted out of his place. Their house lease was not renewed and he was alone and had to vacate his house as soon as he came back. It was heard that he will be going back to onsite after one month, once he reaches India. I offered him to put his luggage at my flat and then take a flat only after he comes from his second trip. He declined and insited that he will take a flat and lock up his luggage their. It turned out that the flat he had rented was in messy condition when he reached here! So He landed up at my flat and then I helped him in vacating his flat and shifting his entire belongings to the flat on one of our friend's flat. He came to stay at my house till he was here. he was with me in my flat. Then he went to his hometown and after that he came back to my flat. On the day he had to leave for Onsite again he met with an unfortunate accident! It was serious one and he was hospitalized. I had rushed to see him leaving my meetings and work. We got him shifted to a good hospital form the initial place he was rushed to. I was doing everything possible like a maniac, consoling his mother and father at times over phone, informing every friend I can and checking that things are done well in the registration and all that formality stuff at the big hospital. Their parents arrived that night only. For days I used to be at the hospital sitting downstairs to be available for any need. I helped his parents in getting used to place, consoling them, getting accomodation to a friend's house which was just beside the hospital. On the second night I even slept at the hospital, thinking there might be some emergency! After that till he was there, I used to visit as often as I could. When he was dischareged from hospital, he and his parents came to stay with me for 3 days. They stayed here and they left for their home! One of our friends had helped a lot. This person was doing good in recovery. When he reached his hometown he never called me back or the another friend who had helped a lot! Not even his parents thanked him even once, leave me! Well, very well! He called me the day when he was to return back, informing about his arrival. I was a bit angry and amused. He came with his mother this time. The day he came back he insited that he has to search a flat. Well, I took him on my bike in the heat of afternoon and we went to shipra and other places around here and then went to a lot of places in NOIDA. I was helping him out. After 4 days he got a flat and he shifted on thursday and he dint even called me that he is leaving my flat today! :) Form the day he went, he never called me again! He lives very near my place but he has never cared to come to my place or even to call me! Such an ungrateful perosn he is. Yet, people held him so high! I even went to his flat 3 times, I guess. But he never invited mne to his nor ever came to mine. In a way he has stopped talking to me after his purpose was served!
Well such are the people in this world!
