The bank employees

The holidays went on smoothly with the unsual change in the daily routine while the college reopened and PSR reminded me of the passport application that was lying in his desk unopened. And we both filled the forms and still i coudnt figure the reason behind the 3 xerox copies that were asked for submission! let it be. Here started the real pain in the ass. We started on to get a DD. Gandhinagar is a well planned city having all the banks in a single sector and that shouldn't be a problem. ICICI was the first and having an account is compulsory to get a DD. I as a common man coudnt get this! some business point?(may be). Anyway the very next was the indian bank and we went in asking for the DD forms and an unexpected harsh reply as if i was asking his daughter for a date! The next scene;we were out of that closed room and now entered the Syndicate and what an amazing view for the customers.The building looked as if it is the remains of a tomb with a lot of paper buried instead of gold and silver. Finally we got hold of the DD forms and filled them, all three of them(one for our frnd), and the cashier gave us a wierd look and asked to fill these in a separate form and bring bak to him!!!!!! We couldnt get a bit of that and asked him to repeat and the situation never changed. Not knowing what to do we came out of the tomb realizing the lack of dead bodies there and the bank people trying to fill that space with the customers.

Finally decided to try our luck for the last time, entered the Punjab National bank and asusual we found noone at the "May I Help U" counter. To our relief the DD forms were out there hanging and they even pasted a copy of a form. We filled and tried to submit in the counter "chow". There was this elderly person(EP) and PSR handed over the forms and here starts the comic show. EP asks PSR about his bank account and PSR unknowingly spills about his ICICI bank account and all of a sudden EP shows his rage.

EP: "You maintain an account there and all the benfits to them while the clerk work is being done by us. Why should we do? We do this work freely for our customers and why dont they"

PSR: "Sir the problem is i am having an A/C in Hyd and they need a cheque book for the DD...

EP: Why do they need a cheque book. we do without that!

Me(in my mind): How the hell do I know about the reasoning behind their rules. I am not the bank GM

PSR: Sir those rules were set by them.. what can we do!!

EP: so you accept its a "gundha" bank then why do you maintain an account in such a bank? they even dont have 800 branches all over india.. and we have some xxxxx branches...

Me: Its almost lab time and we even dont know whther he is going to give us the DD after all this class

PSR: that is okay sir but now...

EP interrupts: Ask that mam there... points towards an officer there

Me: God plzz save us... atleast let ma'm be sensible enough

Ma'm: Whats wrong? are u students?

PSR: Yes mam and we came here for a DD and he says(pointing to the counter chow) we can't as we dont have an account here... (rather his problem is having an ICICI account).

Ma'm: (speaks over in gujarathi) You guyz go there and you can get the DD's.Its an order.

Me: Thanks god for the lady power. Laughs silently, unseen ofcourse.

submits the form and a wait for the DD. And again.. these bank guyz are really serious and they can go on blabbering better than us!!!

EP: See you know that ICICI is a gundha bank phir bhi waha account rakthe ho!!!

PSR: (with the wtf-look on his face) Sir, We are paying the extra charges and moreover my frnd(myself) doesnt have an account there...

EP: leave the DD.. we have many facilites for the students.You can get free DDs for the fee you pay.....

Me: Gawwwwwwwwwwwwwd!!! why did you leave us all of a sudden! plzz come back.

PSR: Sir the problem is during the admissions ICICI came over there and ur bank didnt and so we have our accounts there...

EP: See you can close the accounts there and open brand new accounts here...

Me: wtf!! about to leave in an year and now again the headache from the scratch!!!! God where are you

To our relief our DDs were signed and handovered with a lauffable joke of asking to remember them after leaving INDIA.

can anyone forget such a memorable experience!!!!

PS: This was my first DD. (that was dealt by me)
No harm intended in the post! Neither every employee is harsh nor the harsh behaviour is witnessed everyday.It was mere bad experience.
