Baskar Seshadri<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When i knocked the manager room glass door there was an instant reply — please do come. I went straight to that madam and showed my letter and document for withdrawal.<\/p>\n

Sir, please do sit for a while. She called someone for a cup of coffee and made sure that it was placed in front of me.<\/p>\n

Madam, i don’t need this but an issue is to be sorted out since i am on a deputation here for a period of six months.<\/p>\n

She picked all the papers and after conversing with someone she solved my issue of withdrawals in just five minutes flat.<\/p>\n

Am honored by your service ma.. So glad that you came to my rescue.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my duty sir and if i don’t do it to Baskar sir aka csb who else will?<\/p>\n

Common, how do you know my name?<\/p>\n

Sir, you have forgotten my face and i had worked as your Secretary for more three years in mid of\u00a0 nineties ..<\/p>\n

Oh ,,,, you are Saroja then?<\/p>\n

No sir, i joined after she did<\/p>\n

Sorry Ma.. I am on tabs very often. I tend to forget very many things<\/p>\n

it\u2019s OK sir. I have no feeling on that count<\/p>\n

Oh oh … sorry ma , what\u2019s your name?<\/p>\n

Am Malathi …<\/p>\n

Ya , i got it.<\/p>\n

Ayyo, i have scolded you a lot and had made you embarrassed several times in connection with work – sorry ma<\/p>\n

So what sir, that exercise had helped me to do the current work better.<\/p>\n

Oh, i feel too shy and embarrassed now that these all come to my mind<\/p>\n

How do you get selected? Any service commission?<\/p>\n

No sir, My husband died in the office when he was left with nine years of service and on Humanitarian grounds they offered this.<\/p>\n

oh . All that you say melt me a lot. sorry Mrs.\u00a0 Malathi, please excuse now for all the embarrassments i had caused two decades ago<\/p>\n

No sir, your approach and perfection is now handy for the past two years. Credit still goes to you only for having shaped me to take up the assignment. I think of you every now and these days but never i dreamt i will have the pleasure to see you.<\/p>\n

She gave her card and on seeing that i was drifted back to early nineties.<\/p>\n

Can i take a break and drop you at home … how is your son Karthik . We all saw him at Apollo. when he was born …..<\/p>\n

He is fine. More than the happiness of me seeing her as a bank manager the pressure she underwent those days was hitting my head.<\/p>\n

I gave my hand to her and said please excuse. She caught of both hands and fell at my feet<\/p>\n

Malathi your patience is mighty. While in office and now at bank and its time that i have to learn from you now onward.<\/p>\n

No sir, in this twenty years plus you have grown much and i may be trailing behind by now.<\/p>\n

You mean you ….oh no …no more sins on my head.<\/p>\n

I will invite you for a coffee this weekend. Please do make it<\/p>\n

Sure, only coffee no class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
