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.
