TBG SHENOY

He was our branch manager at Nellore.He used to move with staff in a pleasant way.He used to allot me more work and when Ram prasad used to to protest,he would tell him that if I really could not complete ,he would remove it.H e knew I was fast.One day,he told Lakshmi kumari,a clerk,to write KDR and she refused.We did not know why she was refusing to write KDR.Later ,we came to know that the customer put his wifes signature in front of Manager and Lakshmi.Manager did not object because he was a valued customer.But since the actual customer has not signed ,Lakshmi refused.

He never used to protest to give us leave and permission too.Once,I went to Talupur for some festival and it was year ending day.It seems that he commented that if he had not given me permissions whenever I asked ,there would never have been any leaves pending for me to avail.

One day,I GOT pain in the chest by 11.30am.He simply took me in his car to my house and left me in my house.He was very serious with officers.He would never question workmen if any work was pending.He would say to them,either you make your clerks to do or do yourself.Work should be completed to me in the stipulated time.Officers used to go outside during office hours saying they wanted to meet our Bank advocate.He would phone our branch advocate if they really did come to him and at what time and for how much duration.Officers used to feel humiliated.

If officers reply him that they were working late hours and were also coming on Sundays too.he would simply reply that since they are inefficient they were sitting late hours.

For one new year day,he presented all the male employees of the branch with kurthas and all female employees with hankys set.We all felt very happy because it was a pleasant gesture and unexpected.

During his stay branch developed very much.He had a hear attack once but recovered soon.His son was studying in V R COLLEGE and he was writing sports articles for Hindu at that time.He was coming to the branch sometimes to talk to his father or when there were no classes.
