Mallikarjuna

I worked with Mallikarjuna at Nellore,when we were both clerks. He was senior to me in service but junior in age.he completed CAIIB both the parts,by the time he got eligibility to go promotion test.he got selected in his first attempt itself  as an officer.I too wanted to complete my CAIIB and then go for  promotion test and qualify. But unfortunately,Though I completed CAIIB both parts,due to family reasons,I could not prepare really hard for the exams and pass the written test. More over,I was satisfied with my family life...husband,three children and combined family where motherinlaw,brothers in law and sister in law looked after my children very well.may be I was not really serious to go for promotion.
After Madhava Rao and MSN Sarma got transferred,Mallikarjuna came as branch in charge at Karakambadi.he knew I was a hood worker and fast worker. So,he never used to nag me for late sitting.he was concerned about my troubles and my family life.so,when AGM had come to visit the branch,he requested him on my behalf to see that I get transfer toNellore.
In the mean time,I went to Nellore branch once and Kuppaiah chetty,then State secretary ,was there.Ram Prasad also introduced me to him and told that I be helped by getting me transferred to Nellore as early as possible.
During year end parties, used to say that if they let me come with my kids,I would attend. Other wise it would be difficult for me and I would absent. So,once every one came with their families and we had dinner at tirupathi.next year ,he arranged at the branch itself.except me every one was interested in non veg food. So,he asked his wife to cook veg food for me and she happily obliged.I went to their house and had my lunch.
When I got my transfer to Nellore for the second time,he helped me by arranging lorry and to see that relative of our sweeper accompany me to Nellore with luggage.in those days,I used to go with luggage even in lorry.I was neither afraid nor ashamed to go in lorry ,whether it be night or day. I never cared what people would think about my actions.
