I can't imagine the kind of torture and trauma that you might have gone with those call center folks.<br /><br />Believe me, it is easier to remember those 10 digit account number or 16 number card number rather than having to recall and recite all cities in India!<br /><br />Sorry to know that you have lost them.. but the fact is, it is a good lesson that you will be more careful in remembering the numbers than losing the cards :) Experience teaches you see....Mohanhttp://mohanbn.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
