Dad spoke to me over the phone today. We spoke for nearly an hour. Yes, that’s true we actually spent that much time speaking to each other because dad wanted to know everything. He asked me all sorts of questions and sounded a little apprehensive when I said I remit money at least thrice every week. He asked how much time I ‘wasted’ on this. Well he was under the impression that one needs to spend hours standing in queues and filling hundreds of forms before remitting money. So when I told him I did everything in a matter of minutes, he had a tough time believing me. I told him about Remit2Home, an online money transfer service provider which helps me to remit money in just a few minutes. He was speechless for a while because as a beneficiary he too got an idea about their service every time the money reached him at his doorsteps. So when I told him about the credit card facility he reacted with a sense of surprise. He had a tough time believing that all I needed to do while remitting money was to log on to my Remit2Home account, select the credit card from send money options, enter the amount I had to send, select the beneficiary and enter the credit card details. Dad sounded convinced and with a hearty laugh concluded the conversation with the remark, “and all this while I thought you have a tough time sending money home!”
