ATM availability varies by state development - Metros have ATMs every block; remote Himachal or northeastern villages might have one ATM for 50km radius.
Punjabi culture is more effusive and loud - Punjabis tend to be boisterous, warm, and physically expressive compared to more reserved southern cultures.
