BALASUBRAMANYAM

P Balasubramanyam joined at Nellore branch soon after my joining.At that time he was still a bachelor.He was the only son to his parents.They were sort of possessive about him. His father was a Sanskrit lecturer .Balu was friendly with everyone.His IQ was very high.He too did MSC at SVU,TIRUPATHI.He managed good relations with both clerical staff and management. He bacame friend of Prasad and he used to come to our house also in the evenings ,play with my children,talk to my brothers in law and leave.So everyone in our family also knew him.He was avery good worker.At one time,my maternal uncle wanted to get his daughter married to him.BBut he gently refused.Because he knew he was the only son to his parents.In this issue he wanted to go along with his parents aproval.If a match comes through his friends or people close to him,they might think he was interested in that match and they do not have any say in it.They might feel let down,.So he gave his parenst full freedom in that matter.

His parenst saw a girl of their choice and he did not even lift a finger and happily married that girl.I too attended his marriage.Soon he had a son but a rift came in between his mother and wife.She went for delivery and she did not go back and he did not take her his place where he was working.At that time ,he was working at Vijayawada and had an accident.I used to take my children to his house and spend some time with his parents and he used to play with my children .Later taking advice of our seniors like Ramprasad and others,he took his wife and child to Vijayawada without his parents notice. Later they came to know and felt very depressed.They were afraid that he would not look after them.But nothing like that happened.Balu is a very good person with high moral values.He looked after his parents till their last breath.They died within few days gap.They were so attached to one another.Loss of one could not be digested by the other.In a gap of 3-4 days of his fathers death,his mother also passed away.

We worked together at Nellore branch for a long period.While working at Chittoor,he came to attend Kuppaiah chettys daughters marriage.In 1998.Ii got transferred to Tirupathi branch.After BPRAOS tenure as manager,Balu came as branch manager.I felt comfortable working under him during his period.I had so many family problems and financial problems at that time.Getting my son,Vijayakrishna ,educational loan was aherculian task.But Balu along with Ravi kumar helped me in getting the loan sanctioned.If all my children have studied abroad and settled well in their lives it is mainly due to Balu and Ravis help at that critical moment.

Entire beauty lies in the fact that he never does help with ulterior motives or expecting some thing in return.

When he got transferred to POONA CO,I invited his entire family to home for lunch and they happily spent their time with Prasad.children and me that day and left.

Last week,when I went to Nellore branch along with my sister,he was also present there on leave.Our earlier colleague of Nellore branch,Rama krishna rao was the branch incharge.So we all of us spent sometime in the cabin and left.He has two sons.One has already completed Btech and preparing for GATE AND SECOND ONE IS STUDYING JUnior inter now.

I am ever greatful for his brotherly help whenever I needed.
