Sounds like something out of Douglas Adams, or the Mahabharata. It turns out that a man in Kolkata or Bhopal (or was it Rajnandgaon?) went to an ATM to withdraw the equivalent of US$ 100 and got an acknowledgement slip telling him that his bank balance was several million Rupees more than he had deposited in the bank He did not take that lying down and complained to the bank that there were at least 4 extra zeros in the figure quoted as his bank balance. I just wonder if there was some extra dimensional connection that made your payment go into this man's account, and a karmic connection where he owed you one from a prvious birth, so he was honest enough to say the money was not his? Strange world. shiv
