1. Good Bye Safari Suits. On 3rd Oct I was told that the circular regarding our new uniform has been released (dated 28 Sep 2007, but I doubt if it has been received by all offices till date). This was the best news of the season so far. We are now entitled two sets of winter and four sets of summer suits (3 sets for AMs). Different rates have been prescribed for heavy/light winter centres and are reasonable. DGMs and above will be receiving enhanced rates for the cloth. Rates of shoes, socks and ties have also been hiked. The revised limits are applicable whenever the next supply is due. Now isn't that GOOD NEWS ???
2. May the Tribe Increase. The Security Adviser was here some time back to carry out a review of the Security arrangements. He told us that there is a shortage of 26 officers in Grade 'A' in our cadre and the Bank is shortly going in for new recruitments to fill up the shortfall.
3. CPP Exam. The next CPP exam is scheduled for 03 Nov 2007 at New Delhi. Four security officers from RBI are taking the test this time viz : S.S.Raman, Moin Zafar, R.M.Bade and Bhuvnesh Sahni. Here's wishing them all the best. I am hoping to see them all at New Delhi (in private capacity) at the venue of the test. I am sure there will be a record turnout for the exam this time. I am mentoring 12 officers for the said exam and I know of others who will be taking the test. At this rate the day is not far when RBI will have its own 'ASIS Chapter'. My friend M.W.Khan ditched at the last moment which was a big letdown. He will now try his luck in May 2008.
4. Farewell Bitchings. A lot of loose talk was generated in the aftermath of a farewell party at Mumbai recently. Most of it centred around attendance as some of our colleagues did not want to attend/did not attend at all. I feel we should be magnanimous enough to bury our differences when somebody is bidding adeiu to the organization. By not attending the party all sorts of wrong signals are sent to all and sundry leading to more conjecture. Not done guys !!
