Ramakrishna

Ramakrishna was our agricultural officer at Guntur. His wife was a government college lecturer.They had three girl children and one was a polio patient.He used to talk with the customers, especially with villagers in local slang.Oneday, one villager brought a big Sora kaya, a member of cucurbitaceae , to him and kept it on the counter for him.Another day, one villager brought one or two kgs of pure ghee to him and gave him across the counter. Till that time I was under the impression THat in banking industry there wont be bribing and no temptations. But I was shocked to observe these things. Later I came to know that these are nothing before some of the other demands.

He later came to Nellore branch as Priority credit cell manager.He was mainly giving loans for poultry. Some used to say gudduki rupai ie it was his commission for sanctioning the loan.I dont know if it was true or not.When his daughter matured he invited friends, relatives, colleagues and big customers.Even for marriage so many gifts would not come. One entire was not enough to keep the gifts they recieved on that occassion.Actually it was such a simple function but mega turn out.
