TWTW- Dog Menace , Branch downgrading and Me

The week is finally over and I really mean it is over. Probably one of the pathetic weeks I have gone through. The experience has been quite daunting. Both my personal as well as professional life got affected.
Incident 1: On Wednesday evening I received a call from one of my ex colleagues Mr Raina for help. He has been following with me for some tax related queries. I had asked him to come down to me in the evening. Somehow I got late and reached home at 9 PM. He called me and said that he is unable to come inside my by-lane because of stray dogs at the square. I came out to see that he is being hounded by the dogs. Probably being a stranger to our colony the dogs were harassing him. As soon as I went out the dogs ran away. While I was chatting with Mr Raina, the creatures starting to trouble someone yet again. Since it was dark out I could not relate whether they were troubling any humans or else. I took an aim to them and pelted a stone towards them. At once there was lull but what followed it was shocking. I heard someone asking “WHO HAD HURLED THE STONE AT DOGS”. Firstly I thought it was fluke and didn't take notice of it. I heard the same words second time. This time I perceived something wrong and got bolt from the blue when I saw a person drenched in red. The stone hurled at dogs had hit a passerby. I at once swung in action and took him to a nearest medical shop for First Aid. The stone had hit him beneath his eye on his face and blood was oozing out profusely. The medical assistant did some minor first aid and prescribed some ointments to be used. I thanked God that the man was safe and stone didn't hit his head or damage his eye. Dog menace was gonna create a mess in my life. Thank God for helping me out.
Incident 2: As if Wednesday was just over and I was trying to regain myself, I had another shocker coming my way next day. While I was in office on Thursday, busy with daily rumblings someone knocked at my cabin and I was surprised to see head office people in front of me. Somehow I managed to get my cabin cleared off the crowd. As they started off with their inspection, I tried to make them feel comfortable with some fruits juices and water. They asked me the reason for so much crowd and I replied telling them that it was the usual practice first fortnight of the month. They also complimented for maintaining all the books at the branch and advised me some rectifications..While they emphasized that I should look for new business, I told them categorically that it was not possible till I have some extra support. At once I was rebuked saying that my branch had been downgraded from Scale II to Scale I incumbency and hence do not expect any sort of extra support.. I could not believe and they asked me to confirm from the MIS website which gave me shocker no 2 of the week. The branch incumbency had been demoted by one step. I could not believe that. Our management has no policy for any branch. While nobody takes notice of the nature of business and the number of walk-in customers visiting the branch, the branch incumbency has to be realistic and not based on the certain numbers. Anyways tougher time seems ahead for me.

On a scale of 10, I rate the week at 3 only.

My icon for life!!!

A banker hardly gets time to socialise owing to the enormous stress and pressure. This community is slowly and steadily turning into a forlorn lark. Being a part of this community, i also hardly get any time to attend any social gathering. Even keeping abreast with the latest happenings is also sometimes impossible. These days, due to internet blockade in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, we are unable to remain facebook and whatsapp active. The dependency on the idiot box gets increased. The KBC has been our favourite TV show over the last decade or so. We have actually grown with it. The show gives a boost for any avid current affairs reader. But I lost track of it over the last few years. Incidentally  I happened to watch the Big B anchored KBC on danteras by chance aired on 25 th October. Being a Friday, the show showcases some people who have contributed significantly to our society. This episode highlighted the contribution of  a doctor couple based out of Bharatpur Ra...

Respect her!!!

The time of Corona has brought in it the lockdown. Lockdown is the state of affairs when the whole world comes to stand still. Any change would carry with it the innate quality of inviting criticism both for and against it . Lockdown is no different. There may be people who are favouring lockdown while as there is a subset of our population which are against it too. My analysis is it happened for our good and we all need to bear this adventure. The best part of lockdown for me has been that the public broadcasting of the two mythological epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Both these epics represent the ethos of Indian civilisation and how the Indian civilisation has evolved over the time. While the positives of the epics circulate through the veins and arteries of the nation, one aspect has been showing the ladies as sheer objectification. The epics have given a great moral to us    which invokes us to respect the women folk. These epics are really significant in the current d...

Lockdown diaries- The Covid Scare

Lockdown was implemented in the whole country to contain the spread of Covid 19. Our state or union territory is no different. But being the financial warrior, we had to be at the front fighting the deadly pandemic while serving our customer. We have also faced the brutality of this deadly pandemic with so many bankers losing life. Though every banker is cautiously treading through these difficult times, there were near miss incidents which every banker could have faced. Let me narrate an incident that happening during the lockdown which involved our own staff. It was Monday evening when I had just stepped into my room after day’s labour. I had just taken my evening bath when my phone started ringing. I was surprised to see a call from one of my lady colleagues because usually after the office time no calls take place. Within few minutes, another call came in and this time it was from my service manager. “Sir, Where are you?” He was quite subtle in his demeanour. With utter calmness,...
