Long wait over
Ever seen this TATA SAFARI ad on tv??A guy walks, head hung, shoulders drooping: monday morning blues wit a 'requiem' as the bgm n then releases all his pressure by driving a Tata Safari?I have always wanted 2 do such a thing ...to release all the worries and the dull moments of life on a monday morning...Alas!Dint have any luck this monday :-(
Me, my friend n another buddy walked into the bank at noon. Bcos of the last week's events, we went in prepared for anything. First I got my passbook n I updated it n found tat the cash has been transferred. Even b4 I cud say 'hurray',all te staff walked out all of a sudden!"Now wat the @#$%", my frnd askd me."Who knows",I replied. All the employees walked out n all the customers were left wondering wat was going on. Then someone enquired n seems they were gonna protest. I prayed to God tat the strike doesnt take forever. All the staff stood outside the bank n started making a peaceful(!) protest. "**** zindabad....**** zindabad....".Though I have been in kerala for 3 n half years, I never seen a demonstration or a strike live. They started off slowly n then someone with a took over. They were protesting against the implementation of core banking since it puts a lot of pressure on them. But it was an amusing site.Did someone tell them tat we were short of entertainment there? No offense meant but why did they do it? This continued for almost half an hour n we were keepin an eye on the clock. Seems there will be bank strike on New Year's Eve. Then normal service resumed. As usual I was made to move around b4 I cud withdraw my cash..Peace atlast! My frnd got a record of the transaction n guess his case will also b solved asap. Thanks to all readers who have cared n helped me n my frnd see through this ordeal :-)
PS:
