Lungar Gupp XVIII

1. Postings Tsunami. The annual transfers this year have come in the form of a virtual ‘tsunami’ in the Bank. It has been unprecedented in terms of the number of officers transferred, the ‘indispensables’ being shifted and the geographical limits till which they have been flung. And the process is still on !!

2. Poetic Justice . This refers to my earlier post regarding a senior officer raving and ranting about Security officers having joined the Bank after being court martialled from the Army. It was sweet music to the ears to hear that the said officer has been court martialled (transferred) to one of the ‘cold storage’ departments. Sadly the trappings of power could only be enjoyed for a very short time !!

3. Postings in our Cadre . It is believed that ten of our colleagues are being transferred this year. In line with the NEWS funda (North to South, East to West and vice versa both ways) expect major a shake up guys ! For example if you ask for Chennai you will get Mumbai, beg for Chandigarh and you’ll get Bangalore or from Delhi you want some centre in the same zone you are sure to get Chennai. This is ‘National Integration’ folks. And don’t you dare crib – you are supposed to be used to getting transferred every 2-3 years. You have served in the defence services blah, blah, blah !! One of my friends has been dogging me for quite some time now, so I will not be surprised if he follows me to my present location too. Pucca news will be available on 5th March – so keep holding your breath till then.

4. Pallav . I just got a call from Pallav this morning. He has joined a multinational company in Bangalore a couple of days back. I asked him how he had taken to the new organization. His words were “like a fish to water”. He says that he has been on a sabbatical for four years from the private sector to which he has now returned. I expect to see him more often now. Here is wishing him luck in his new assignment.

PS. All the above headings start with a ‘P’. This is coincidental but if you look after your ‘P’s the ‘Q’s will take care of themselves !!
