Bhavesh,
Thanks for the kind words.
Yes, I guess I am a little philosophical. A believer of Dale Carnegie’s principle, “Cooperate with the Inevitable”. It would have not helped me to get mad, I could imaging that the situation was out of control for the tellers sitting in front of me, and I could also see that without the systems coming up, I could not make any progress. In that event, I had a choice to blow my top, create a ruckus and boil my head. Which would have not helped me much. Instead I chose to wait out and took the opportunity to observe life. I think that benefited me a lot, it was a great education. A rare privilege in a busy life!
It would be great if you can share it with your banker. Would be interesting to see his reaction..

Hitesh,
As one who has been born and brought up in Mumbai, some of these things appear strange. For you, it brought back memories, I see.. !

Really I enjoyed reading it! It was like ‘Desi Bank Ka Ankho Dekha Haal’ .. I faced such a lot. You can imagine the situation as there are only two banks in my hometown (Ranikhet) SBI and PNB .
