Demonitisation is having such a drastic effect on our lives, that we're now changing our faith in god too! In a funny incident of ‘no cash’ in an ATM, Delhi citizens chose an innovative way to protest by organizing a ‘pooja’ for an ATM machine in East Delhi’s Jagatpuri area. Yes, imagine worshiping something as 'trivial' as an ATM machine!

Around 50 locals went to the State Bank of India ATM and started singing bhajans with the rhythm of dhols.They worshipped the ATM by putting garland on it and praying that it dispenses new notes for them.

"Earlier, we used to see couples and elders going for morning and night walk, but nowadays we can find couples running their vehicles on the streets looking for the ATMs with cash," Punit Tiwari, another resident, told IANS

People have been queuing up at branches of banks, ATM kiosks and post offices to withdraw cash ever since the central government announced the withdrawal of higher currency notes on November 8.

Apart from throwing stones and vandalizing the ATM machine, worshipping it is indeed an innovative way to protest. Or should we say, a desperate measure during desperate times?
