As per newspaper reports, researchers from University of
Reading, Britain have found that our Ice Age ancestors living nearly 15000
years ago used some common words which are still in use by billions of people.
For example ‘you’, ‘mother’, ‘not’ & ‘fire’ point to the existence of a
linguistic super-family of Euroasia.
This report ignited the brainwave of our boss. So during
lunch time meeting this issue cropped up. Though there was mention of Ice Age but
no mention was made of Shikaar or non veg in menu which remained only veg.
Now our boss is richly experienced, wise old banker. For
ages he had been immersed in banking, so much so that he lost his hair to it.
Other than wise bald head, he is short, pot bellied and jovial. He has an
affectionate nickname The Baldy outside of his cabin. He murmured:
-I am surprised. Howoo these researchers have forgotten origin
of banking words? After all banking is such a prestigious & age old
profession. Both you & you, try to contact them & in fact write a DO
letter under my signature & ask them to do research on this & send me
the report within seven days (else disciplinary action shall be initiated!).
Report was received well in time & highlights placed
before The Baldy. Excerpts are as under:
-The bankers were present throughout all the ages - Ice
Age, Stone Age, Iron Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age & are still visible in
great numbers.
-Hard mental work & disturbed sleep have affected
their language skills & increased chances of quicker baldness.
-They used ‘Howoo-Howoo?’ very often since Ice Age
onwards but which has subsequently modified to ‘How’ in the present age.
-Another frequently used word was ‘Wy-Wy’ from Ice Age to
Bronze Age & thereafter got modified to ‘Why’. Bankers usually want to know
from a new borrower –Why loan?
-The word ‘Loan’ has been very popular in all Ages &
in fact has been in consistent use till now with bankers & aam admi. In
modern age another synonym ‘Advances’ has been added to it. This is used when
advances are made to women folk.
-‘Handle Tactfully’ has been in use in all ages by higher
management cadre of banks on lower cadre. In fact usage of this phrase has
increased progressively in modern age but has caused heart burns of a section
of bankers.
-‘Charge Sheet’ has been used by senior bankers on junior
bankers since Iron Age & is in continuous usage in modern age. In itself it
carries weight of iron hammer & has dangerous implications.
-‘Branch people
don’t work’ is the phrase which has come in vogue rather recently due to
expansion of branches. In previous Ages its use was found to be lesser.
-‘Careful in future’ is the phrase being handed over to
all junior bankers since Ice Age to present age on one pretext or another. So
dear banker in the present age of hidden cameras, cobras & scorpions recite
this mantra daily:
"I Shall Be Careful In Future!"
