"Namaskara Geleyare! Let's Kannada blog ge nimagellarige mattomme aathmeeya swaagatha"
Ever since PM announced demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, conversation starts and ends with whether they could manage to get money from the bank/ATM.
Until about a week ago, in Bangalore, when an employee reached office or a student reached school/college the discussion would begin with a traffic update. Not any more! Thanks to our PM, lunch time, coffee time, any time discussion is all around 500 and 1000 notes and how much money someone managed to withdraw. Suddenly 100 Rs notes and lesser denominations have become all important!
Enri Bank ge hogidra? Dhuddu sigtha? could be a common question, which when translated means "Did you go to the Bank? Did you get money?"

We all know what a struggle it is to get 2,000 Rs from the ATM or submit a cheque to withdraw cash or exchange the 500, 1000 denomination notes from the bank. So let us see what kind of conversation you can have in Kannada around this topic.
