caiib

Actually,when I joined at Nellore branch ,no one was interested in CAIIB. Most of them were seniors. When I joined there with barely two years of service and already completed CAIIB PART 1,they felt they too should look into the matter. Almost everyone started preparing for the exam.In fact. KPrabhakar rao and Seshagiri rao completed part 1&2 in no time. Elders say that vivaahaaya vidyanaasaaya ,samsaaraaya sarvam naasaaya. It means that with marriage education is affected adversely and with family every thing is lost.I too was affected to certain extent.Part 2 banking I passed without any preparation. The preparation for part 1 was sufficient. But regarding other subjects I had to strive, mainly regarding accountancy.Because at Nellore I did not know where to go for learning the subject except my colleagues at the branch.I really worked hard after completing my work at the branch and request them to teach me till it was 5pm.I could not touch the books at home because I was newly wed and I was afraid how they would react if I started reading all the time. Later the scene changed what with my pregnancy and child bearing.I realised I could not compete with others and attempt all the remaining subjects all at a time. I decided to prepare for a single subject each time though I applied for all the subjects. This way I could get familiar with the other subject papers and pass atleast pass one subjest at a time.It clicked and I could at last complete all the subjects and it had taken four and half yesrs that is 9 attempts to pass six subjects.I completed part 2 in 1984.

international womens day

Last Friday. Phone call from HRMSsection came asking for me. I went to recieve it. One lady from the concerned sectioned told that they had conducted small function on international womens day.That day they gave small mometos to few women employees. Of them I was the seniormost women special assistant in the entire Hyderabad circle. So they were sending a small gift in recognition of my services. I was happy to recieve that information. They said that they were sending the gift through Suresh,our officer who had gone to STC on training. On SATURDAY our manager gave me the parcel. In it were four coffe mugs . They were cute and Iliked the gift. Manager said that he too would conduct ameeting and hand over it But later he passed on the gift to me.Thirtythree years of service in Canara Bank and still two years to go. It is never too late.I am happy and satisfied.

Muralikrishna

Soon after Gurudasappa got transferred, Murali krishna came in his place. He was very good looking, real gentleman and knew the work very well.He maintained good relations with the staff.

He was interested in karnatak music and giving AIR performances also in Veena recital.He did not work long at Nellore. He became DM at a very early age.In the hall, cash and SB,CA AND OD,DD counters were being handled. In the back side adjacent to the hall,Typist, day book, Tappal sections were doing their work. Still back side, Statements, advances sections were handled. When once, Muralikrishna came to our room , I was talking something and did not stop even when he entered. He talked with MRKMurthy and left. After he went, senior clerks admonished me for my behaviour.They said that I had to give respect by stopping talking and stand up like they did. While I was handling daybook department, I studied for Accountancy part-2 during free time. I used to request my seniors to teach me and they happily obliged. With their help only I could pass CAIIB

succesfully.

Gurudaasappa&Narayana

Gurudaasappa was our manager. He had neither great physique nor looks. Narayana was our sub staff. He was fair looking ,chubby and was tall. He could ride a bike. I think Gurudasappa did not know how to ride a bike. So, when ever they had to go to customers ,either for deposit mobilisation or recovery of debts, manager used to take Narayanas help.Narayana used to ride the bike and naturally customers used to think he was the manager and wish him while ignoring Gurudasappa,the manager.Every time ,he had to introduce himself and it was embarassing for him. Everyone was joking about it in the branch. After Gurudasappa got transferred, another story came up. One poor paperboy had taken a small dpn loan . Manager said that he would not pay him the paper money but credit it to his loan account. But as the loan was over due party had been consulted and he said that previous manager had credited paper money to the loan account. But there were no credits. I really dont know the credibilty of these gossips but they were floating around.
