VAALLU YEMI ANAKA POTHE BEE ALLOTTED WORK COMPLETE CHESI chaduvukunte maaku abhyantharamu ledani. Vaallakai vaallu complain cheyyamu ANI ANEVAARU.
Maa pillalu, AP pillalu almost oke age. VAALLA chinnappapkayithe 3rd month lone chevulukuttinchindi aa ammayi.
Mamulugaa ne friendly gane vunde vaallamu, maa intiki thanu vacchedi,vaalla intiki nenu poye daanini. Vaalla illu Raja veedhilovundedi.Her husband was a doctor, HE WAS SENIOR TO MY brothers and sisters at SV MEDICAL COLLEGE,Tirupathi. But the bad luck was that though he was avery good guy ,his friends did not have good track record. So professors were not passing him in the exams. His rowdy friends had other types of influence in passing the examsin other wrong ways, but he had none. So even after they completed the course ,he was still studying Anatomy and Physiology.He studied MBBS fOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS.He could not secure job in government, HE COULD NOT do private practice successfully. Practically his education was an utter waste economically for him.
A padmavathi had a brother who was doing a good job in the city.One day when he was going to the office, he fell from the byke due to a small collision. He did not bruise due to that fall. But the bad luck was that before he could recover and get up ,other vehicles did not stop and crashed into him . HE HAD MULTIPLE injuries. Of them brain injury was the major injury. At the time of fall, he did not have a helmet.Practically, he was in coma for many months. Even after that his brain was like a cabbage and all his intelligence and IQ had gone completely. HE HAD TO ATTENDED TO as if he were a baby. He could not recover from that condition for a very long time.
AP admavathi was a classical Bharatha natyam Dancer and it she gave her Aarangetram at Ravindra bharathi, Hyderabad when she was in her teens.
Her inlaws were very rich. aCTUALLY they need not struggle for money. But the surprising thing in their house is that everyday morning, her father brings provisions for that particular day alone. Next day again from A to Z again they would purchase. I felt it was strange because we generally provisions atleast for a month if not for the entire year. But like milk and curd, rice, dal,oil and what not everything was bought on daily basis.
We worked together for many years . She got transferred to Hyderabad and she was living with her parents during her stay at Hyderabad. I used to meet her whenever I went to STC,HYDERABAD.She said that her children were well settled. She had major operation recently, but now she is fine.
During her second tenure at Nellore, she used to sit late hours in the bank so that management would not disturb her. But when she got her transfer to Vijayawada she did not get relieved , but tried to stop her transfer orders by aprroaching Management executives. But Union got displeased by her double tactics and saw to it that she got relieved at Nellore and join at Vijayawada.Later she got tarnsfer to Hydearabad and now she is settled there.

R V RAM PRASAD

Soon after I joined at Nellore branch ,Ram prasad too came on transfer.He was a senior most clerk .He was an active union leader.Actually ,he was a central committee member. He mixed with every one very well.Soon ,for every doubt,everyone used to go to him for clarification.Soon he became popular among customers also because he used to render  better customer service compared to management and workmen. When ever executives attended the branch,they first used to go to him,talk to him and then go into the managers cabin .Everyone used to respect him. Soon he became a special assistant.Since not even a month has lapsed from his date of joining the branch, management retained him at Nellore branch as a special assistant.


He ruled the branch from then. He used to come to help everyone. I worked under him for many terms in SB counter.Once when I got transferred to MJ MARKET,HYDERABAD HE GOT IT CANCELLED.Every one in the branch used to comment cheaply about it. Next year also I got transferred to Hyderabad.But he helped me by getting modification to Karakambadi.After two years of my stay at Karakambadi, He recommended my transfer to Nellore after talking to Kuppaiah chetty ,then state secretary.
I got transfer orders and joined at Nellore branch. I was aghast to learn that previous night ,he had accident and had multiple injuries. So as a senior most clerk, I had to discharge supervisory duties till his joining .


He was such a good natured man that when he came to visit doctor he came to our house to enquire about me.I was shocked to learn later when I was working at Chittoor as a special assistant,That he was suspended for having committed fraud to the extent of many lacks. CBI also entered and his involvement was proven. He accepted it and was imprisoned for two years at Rajahmaundry jail.He lost his job.


Later I came to know that he was addicted to drinking and other bad habits. He was a native of Gudur,. It seems that he was my elder brothers classmate at gudur high school.His mother expired at the time of childbirth.His father left him for his fate.So his maternal grandmother looked after him and got him married to her another grand daughter.His father did not even attend his marriage. He married immediately after his first wifes death.
I heard that now he is staying at Hyderabad with his son.All his children are married and well settled.
I wonder what twists and turns fate takes everyone. Such a nice human being had come to such a pathetic end.

Dayaasaagar

Dayaasaagar was our officer. He was goodnatured and jovial. Goldman and he worked together in previous branch also. So goldman used to call him as Dayaa. Though he was dark complexioned he was attractive.He used to be friendly with everyone. if there is difference in balancing and no one could identify it, he would take it as a challenge to tally it. So whenever we had problem in tallying SB Ledgers we used to approach him. He would never so no when ask his help.Actually I learnt tallying SB ledgers from him. If we tell him the actual difference ,he would almost guess where the dfference would be. With in no time, he would tally it. It was really an art. 
I had small children. So I used to ask them to permit to go as soon as I completed my work and he would oblige ,He was the floor leader.Just as soon as lunch break was over ,I would start put closings in all the ledgers ,put slip totals ,tally it and I would as their permission to go home.It would be barely 3pm by then. But on the condition that I take one ledger balancing, he used to say he would permit me, I used to take down balancing in 15minutes,put page totals in 5minutes and stand before him by 3.15pm to let me go. He would permit me to go home.
He was such a nice person that during yearend ,he would phone me and tell me the figures.,profit and loss and all thos e details like who worked till what time and what problems propped up while doing balancesheet.
They would never ask me to sit late even for year end work.
One day, he came few minutes late to the branch and he looked odd. I commented just like that something by seeing him. He was surprised and called me . When I went ,he was wondering how I could find out that he had sex with his wife just before coming to the branch.Really I did not know any such thing ,but he thought I caught him red handed about his latest deed. I laughed and said I didnot anything and my remarks were purely innocent.
Later , he got transfered to Hyderabad. Whenever I went to STC ,Hyderabad for training,he would come to STC and talk to me . Later I lost track of him, because I was overburdened by my family problems.

GOLDMAN

M.Madhusudhan rao was our senior clerk in those days. He was soft spoken and calm boy. They were goldsmiths. By the time I joined at Nellore branch, he was not married.Matches used to come and some people used to come to the branch for enquiry and see the boy. We used to make fun of him.But later he married a very rich girl . She was very obase, though her face and nature were good. So he had to do everything at house because she could not attend to all the cores effectively. Generally boys dont take oil bath on Fridays . Women do on Fridays. But MmRAO USED TO Take oil bath on Fridays and come to the bank. When we asked him why he was doing so ,he used to reply innocently that as his wife does on Friday ,he would also do with the remaining kunkudu kaaya pulusu ,so that it may not go waste.Because he married a very rich girl and they were goldsmiths by caste ,we used to call him goldman.
Whatevr we comment ,he would not retort or reply. HE would just smile at us. But oneday hegot very angry at me because I laughed at him for some silly thing.From then on he stopped talking to me. He did not say for what he got offended.Later he got promotion as an officer and was posted interior of Tamilnadu. There he could not get adjusted and took reversion as a clerk. Later he became special asistantand settled at Hyderabad.Once or twice I met him At STC,HYDERABD.Then he talked to me and enquired about my children and Prasad. He said his children also got married and well settled. I think he would have got retired by now.

Venkateswarlu

Venkateswarlu was a clerk like but few years senior to me. He got his appointment under reservation quota. But who ever come for him ask if reddygaaru was there.So everyone knew that just for the sake of employment he manipulated as SC/ST Candidate. But keeting this aside he was anice person ,jovial all the time. He did not have much working knowledge.During summer, electricity failure was very common and bank was not provided with generators during those times. So in the afternoon, he used to take off his shirt and work whenever there was electriciy failure.He also had weakness for women it seems. Because our other staff members used to say that he would kiss at the photos of woman borrowers ,because we used to take photos of borrowers along with loan applications in those days also.
He went to write promotion test as soon as he got the eligibilty. In those days it was written test ,some objective and some essay type questions.There was no multiple choice question paper,. He used to make sure that intelligent friends of him sit around him in the examination hall so that each one would help him in answering all the questions. Because he was a reservation candidate, he got eligibilty by completion of four years of service only.Some how ,either by hook or crook ,he passed the written exam and got selected as an officer very soon.
He worked in Bombay for a term and returned back to Nellore as an officer. He used to tell us frankly. He did not have any working knowledge.If anything went wrong,clerk and officer had to bear 50/50 %. So if we wanted to save our loss of 50% we should be alert and more careful, because he would sign blindly whatever we did in good faith.
We were not angry with him because ,it was his sincere request and we knew him since when he was a clerk .Her wife was workin at DKW COLLEGE AS a record assistant or something. He got transferred to Mumbai and his wife to someother place. So their daughter was kept in DKW college and staying at the hostel .She fell in love with a brahmin boy who was her classmate and they eloped. Then their parents got them married. They had a son soon and we were invited for his baarasaala.Later , Venkateswarlu took VRS and led a retired life.
