A HUNDRED YEARS AGO

 

It was the time  when our family was in dire straits. Papa had retired on 31stJanuary1975. Laji and Leela were students at Thumba Trivandrum and Kottayam. They were in the Hostel. I was scouting for a job and was in the wilderness. The family income was zero. 

I never thought I would join a bank. 

16thSeptember1975, The Bank of Cochin Ltd took me on as an Executive Trainee at a princely stipend of Rs.400.00 per month.

The family survived on that.

I am here now.

But what is described in the archived news is absolutely true. 

Man mangement was the toughest job while I was in the Bank.

It holds true even today.
