Are ATMs safe enough

It was around 9:30 in the night yesterday and and me on the way to Citibank ATM in BTM layout was taken by surprise with the crowd at ATM. After waiting for few minutes, I realized that the crowd was watching the cricket match(India-SA) in the TV fixed there.

Will the bank take responsibility for any mishaps?. What made them to have a TV at ATM and showing the programs which catches more attention from the public. This is really absurd.

Is fixing TVs at the ATM centres really a necessary one?. Already Bangalore facing a lot of robbery cases and this is really a threat for the people withdrawing cash there. Bank may claim that they do provide a security person there. Is he a movie-hero?.

Its really a very bad idea to have TV and telecasting a match or movie in a places like ATM.

Make hay while the sun shines

The real estate people in Bangalore are very much inline with this proverb. As the IT hub lives to its name and money flow has increased, the real estate people uses this time to pocket money from it.

The land value in hsr layout was so high and did it really vindicate the worth for it. In the recent heavy downpour, this particular layout was nearly inundated and people suffered a lot. Is this for what people paid a lot?.

Will this affect the land value?. What if the IT suffers a downfall again?. Only time can answer these questions.
