Story 1:
A man went to a bank to perform KYC using Aadhaar Offline. However, he couldn't provide his fingerprints due to a mishap. The operator suggested using the iris scan option. After several attempts, the scan failed. Frustrated, the man exclaimed, "Maybe I'm legally blind!" The operator replied with a chuckle, "Perhaps you're just incognito."
Lesson: Even the simplest of tasks can sometimes turn out to be humorous and remind us to approach situations with a sense of humour.
Story 2:
A woman visited an OVS centre with her pet parrot perched on her shoulder. As the operator prepared for the iris scan, the parrot let out a loud squawk. The operator exclaimed, "Excuse me, ma'am, but is your parrot also here to do KYC?" The woman, embarrassed, replied, "No, he just wanted to see how it's done for when he applies for a bird feeder loan."
Lesson: Even in the most formal settings, humour can arise from unexpected sources, reminding us to laugh at ourselves and embrace the absurdity of life.
Story 3:
A man entered a post office to perform Aadhaar Offline KYC. As the operator searched for the OVS system, the man pointed to a dusty old machine in the corner. "Is that it?" he asked. The operator nodded. "Well then, let's get this done before it turns into a fossil," quipped the man.
Lesson: Humour can help us find light in unexpected places, even when dealing with bureaucratic processes.
