THERE ARE SMELLING FLOWERS Today it wasraining in the morning. Every year I give life certificate to the bank where Idraw pension, in the month of November,between 1st and 15th .Mostgive life certificate during the period so that pension isdrawn by the month end. I assure writing in dairy on first of November- LIFECERTIFICATE.
It is in the wakeof my forgetting to give life certificate about 10 years back. I found pensionwas not drawn, and on query the staff member asked- Did you give life certificate? I ran tothe section and gave life certificate and got pension by 15th of themonth. However by 10 AM sunlight came and I called myregular auto driver. He reported to me in 5 minutes. I checked everythingI have taken, copy of Aadhar card, pan card and Pension pass book. Somehow Imissed to take copy of wife’s Aadhar. Irecollected it after almost reaching branch. The lifecertificate form was made ready by the bank, taking Xerox to issue to thepensioners. I collected and filled up the form, attached my Xerox of Aadhar andpan with self-attestation. I went to thecounter. The Lady staff inthe counter welcomed with a smile, gone through and asked to get certified byDeputy Manager. He was indiscussion with another customer. I waited outside his cabin. In two minutes hecompleted the discussion and called me. He looked at my face, photo in passbook, account number and certified with his stamp in two locations and gaveback to me suggesting the counter where I have to give. It was the same counterwhere I first checked. Most probably some pensioners who were earlier in highpositions might be directly meeting him. The staff atcounter, in between other works simply received my certificate, assured signatureand stamp of deputy manager was there and said OK sir with a smile. Wife’s dateof birth given was sufficient. The bank is busyall times, always customers in counters, but I felt the staff and officers aredoing best to customers with a pleasing attitude. I have made thisposting in the wake of so many staff and junior officers from North India feel boredof repeated and not able to cope with pressure of work and resigning. I have included many such staff views incultural QA. I draw my pensionin State Bank of India, Selaiyur branch. I found a lot of smelling flowers (staff,officers) and real smelling flowers in the newly shifted well-arranged bank,with good amenities to customers for sitting, writing etc. Bank is in 1stfloor; Lift as well as stairs is provided. Parking area for two wheelers is there. ATMsand Passbook printing and cheque deposit box is in the ground floor with amplespace in the enclosure. R.
