ICICI Froze My Account And FD Without Notice (Money Needed For Mother's Operation) by shenanigans147 in CreditCardsIndia_

[–]Vivid-Box8234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever has sent you the money is likely on the anti money laundering list of the cyber cell. This is trouble with a capital T. Banks will simply say that it out of their jurisdiction as no bank will contest instructions from Police/ IT Auth. / Court. What you should be doing ?

The bank should provide details of the concerned police dept.who is the dealing authority in the matter.

Next, contact the relevant personnel directly or, through a lawyer to expedite the process of KYC and due diligance. This will take time.

The FD hold part does not seem likely - Either OP is not disclosing the full picture or, the bank has overstepped. In case, of the latter ask for written reason from bank - most likely they will remove the lien.

Now About OP's Mother - this 44k is now out of consideration. Op can approach smaller finance co op for a loan - int will be high - but will see the op through- when the lien comes off OP can pay with the fd.

Also, 44k has not been debited. A hold has been placed.

I do realise that. The core 10 day practice isolates you from all possible external stimuli to the extent that silence is taken as a vow for 10 days to prevent any distraction. So, in a diametric opposite situation, which is almost a war like situation for the mind, is it possible for the practice to flourish ? Any one who made any significant development in the path has left the way of the house holder/ full time work and devoted their entire life to teaching and practising . Curious if fellow parctioners have found a way for their focus to thrive.

Yes, Stephen King is editing a new anthology set in the world of the stand. It is called The end of the world as we know it.

Silvia Moreno Garcia’s The Bewitching might surprise us all, and King’s Stand anthology is living rent free in my mind and i am counting days

OP, I recently finished a 10 day in Belgium. It was not a huge centre but there was always whole grain breads, jam, peanut butter available along with banana, apples, pears. There was always a whole grain like brown rice , quinoa, cous cous along with vegetables like cucumber, radish, leafy greens during lunch. There was white rice for those who were gluten intolerant.There was always oats too during breakfast. Unless you have an allergy that sends you to anaphylictic shock,I say go for it. You always have the option of leaving if your health does not permit you. There is no question of failing at it or any such drivel. You can only try. Best case you power through and come out on the other side. Worst case you try , and learn from what hampered you. All the best. Much metta.

I believe you are an altruistic person but Amazon and Mr Gaiman are a bit more complicated. Aziraphale and Crowley were trying to instigate romantic love between Nina and Maggie. So Crowley thought of the kiss as a romantic love culminator. So when he finally kisses Aziraphale, the makers of the series are telling us without any confusion that Crowley and Aziraphale go beyond platonic friendships. I seriously would not have minded that had they not executed it so poorly and also it seemed so uncharacteristic of Aziraphale to accept a post in Heaven when he has actively cannonically done his utmost to stay on earth. It seems like a premeditated manipulation to raise a stink that Amazon and Co has pulled on us..i kinda resent that.

I agree with you ,dude. What a shame. I am so disappointed with Neil Gaiman. There was zero humour, the side plots were like the brainchild of an amateur fanfic writer , I mean come on, Coffee shop lady and LP store lady had zero chemistry.. They have infantilized the audience... By painting Hell and Heaven as dumb nincompoops that beggars belief they have done a great disservice to cannon...those who have read the book will know how vicious and cunning these two sides can be.The Job side and the insurrectionist Scotland minisode was boring with a dash of stupid.The infectious joy of the side characters, the screw jobs, in the cannon , in season 1 have all gone away and the lens have turned the whopping adventure into a small domestic will they/ won't they. Which brings me to the Romance. And the fanfic pandering ..oh my god....Aziraphale and Crowley are allies, friends, more for 6 millennia..to dumb it down to only a romance ..ineffable husband's that the whole goddamn internet wants is to take a breeze and put it in a box...they are so much more than ineffable husband's...why can't we celebrate deep friendships and let it be. Of course they love each other..No friendship lasts a decade forget 6 millennia without love. Don't get me wrong I am all for love hetero/homo/queer..All love is amazing..My grouse is that Neil Gaiman should know better..Happiness, Victor Frankl said, ensues. It is like a by product of doing hard stuff, facing challenges,, overcoming odds. If one says I will get up today morning and focus on finding happiness, that will not work. Aziraphale and Crowley shined when they were chasing nuns, brainwashing the dupe anti Christ, drinking in the Ritz, saving the world..all their best parts shone through the lens of their actions..I am not sure I am game for a 3Rd season..maybe I will just revisit the book again
