Dear Batch-mates
It has been an amazing
journey for us for the last 25 years. Meeting for the first time at
Basavangudi, Bangalore on a September Monday, as a raw and shy youngsters with
an enthusiasm to do whatever was assigned to us.
Among many things we owe in
our life to he great institution , SBI, all of us would invariably rate our Trainee Officer promotion
and being part of this wonderful batch, as the major gift we had from SBI.
Any number of subsequent
promotions would not have given us the kind of pride and satisfaction that
promotion way back in 1991 gave for all of us. It is a true elevation which
transformed our life.
·
How can we forget the
intense discussions and our anxious queries to whoever we met including some of
the guest faculties about our 4 increments.
·
How can we not
remember the dreams many of us had in becoming a GM or a CGM of the bank
including one who aspired to be a Chairman of the bank.
·
How fresh it is in
our mind, the time we all spent together at the STC and many evenings we have
spent loitering in Majestic area not to speak our weekly visit to Praful
theatre in Indore
·
How much joy and
ecstasy we had when we first came to know that we will be called as “Assistant
Manager” and not JMG 1 which I am sure, many of our friends who subsequently become Assistant
General Manager would not have got.
25 years have gone since,
though many of us are in touch on a one on one basis, the very idea of a
reunion of all of us has energized us like a kid and thanks to Raghu and Mani
this initiative is truly taking shape.
While Whatsup has enabled us
to reunite in a single platform, this blog will help us to share our thoughts
on how we need to spend that a day and half during our reunion at Chennai
during end November
Plan for your visit. Hoping to see all of you at Chennai.
Cheers and Good Luck
