Whenever anyone of us think about Goa, all of us visualize the scenic BEACHES where you can roam around with your group of friends or your partner (Hand in Hand):), OCEANS where in you can njoeee all sorts of adventure sports, Shacks where you can just chill and take sun bath and obviously shack enjoyment is not there till the time you are having booze around :), local markets etc etc and list can go on n on n on.....
With all these things in mind, we (me and my wife) planned our trip to Goa in year 2016 and that too month of November.
This was our 4 day trip and it started from 30th November. When we left for Goa, we were carrying enough cash as on 8th of November, one PATAKA happened and that was DEMONETISATION.
Post reaching there we enjoyed fully and were lost in the beauty of Goa:)
After couple of days, a strange voice started coming from my wallet and you guys won't believe what that was:
MITRONNNN, DEMONETISATION ka asar abhi gaya nahi h:P
And than we realized that we are almost out of cash and than comes the reality, for complete third day we were looking for ATM's to take out cash but with no luck:(
We stood in a queue for almost 2 hours but when our number was about to come that ATM was out of stock.
It happened with us for one more ATM but with some luck on our side, we got the cash from third ATM:)
So, one complete day was gone of our much awaited vacation.
Still, this is a kind of experience which we will going to remember for sure... will laugh about it.... will going to say about it that YES we experienced the Demonetisation (a good thing happened to our country after a long time although we were at the receiving end) effect :)
Same problem faced.. I was out of town with family and had only 500 notes with only one 100 Rs note.. We had to suffer a lot in order to get the change. we had to buy unnecessary medicines in order to get change as those were the only places where 500 were accepted.
