Priority Sector Advance - Moon Dhaba

China is sending a female astronaut into space this year as per newspaper reports. This is wonderful news. Since China is doing it India must also do it for how can India lag behind China. We have launched hundreds of satellites & missiles with huge payloads. We can very well manage sending a women into the space. Or else there could be serious repercussions in New Delhi. There could be demonstrations, dharna at Jantar Mantar or even strike by women folk.

There are enough of technical capabilities available within India & necessary infrastructure is also available in this sector notwithstanding pot holes on roads in Capital City. The capability is vouched by lady scientist incharge who fired the ICBM recently. All one has to do is to simply replace the payload with Maya, Mamata, Sushma or Sonia!

There is no dearth of capable & enterprising folks in India who would later opt for distant moons & planets after visit of the first Indian astronaut lady in the space. I feel this lady should not be called astronaut or cosmonaut but based on our ancient scientific knowledge be called as ‘Pawan Putri’!

In fact while discussing these facts with friends over a couple of drinks, several worthwhile ideas have emerged.

First & foremost person ready to kick start is my friend Yash Sachdeva who runs a successful business in the name & style of Sachdeva Properties. He is a well known property dealer of west Delhi & has made good amount of commission over the years so much so that he can run free  JMD( Jai Mata Di) Bhandara for a week. Just after opening of his office & just before closing, he performs an elaborate pooja which is being listened to by gods up there in the sky. Yash is ready to finance his own ticket but will not go in a Chinese spacecraft for obvious reasons. His plan is to reach there well in time so as to encash the rush for plots later on. 

Next to board the space craft is another friend Gulshan Kumar. He is running a ‘Gullu Dhaba’ on NH-8 near Manesar & has a plan to open Gullu Moon Dhaba on moon. But his worry is whether he would be able to get regular raw material for butter chicken in time. Another worry is that he may run short of money if he is to buy his own space ticket to moon plus has to establish Gullu Moon Dhaba as well. On being offered another large peg & assurance of bank finance by Yours Truly, he is in Q now. Not only that, he is prepared to set up a dhaba at mars also later on. He has proposed to name it as Gullu Mars Dhaba & is ready with a hoarding tag line  – ‘With Branches on Moon & Earth’!

Listening to all this Yours Truly has also decided to join the space wagon. You see after having retired from the Bank, Consultancy Service is already being run by Yours Truly & it would be in fitness of things if an Extension Counter is opened on moon which would be subsequently upgraded to a branch. The project report of Gullu Moon Dhaba is being prepared. Matter has been discussed with Branch Manager who has promised to look in to it within his vested power as soon as staff position improves.

Are you ready for the trip my dear Aroraji?

Slogans & Promotions


Fight to Finish
It was 11.30 & banking hall reflected active Indian economy- money was being withdrawn & money was being deposited by large no. of customers keeping all tellers & cashiers occupied. Service sector GDP was up.

All of a sudden Com. Dik-sit shouted ‘Stop Work’! Yours Truly like everybody else stopped work & service sector GDP crashed.  

Com.Dik-sit  shouted instructions ‘second floor’ & within minutes most of us were on second floor. Slogans were already being shouted ‘RM Hyderabad-Murdabad-2’  by the crowd in front of a cabin there. We also joined the chorus ‘Murdabad-2’  'Hai-Hai-2'. RM Hyderabad was not known to us & in the crowded cabin he was invisible from outside. What did he do to get showers of slogans was not clear. Yours Truly ventured to ask Com. Dik-sit as to who was this RM & what had he done. Com. Dik-sit barked ‘Quiet ! I don’t know. And there is no need for you to know.’

You see this period after nationalisation of banks was in favour of Unions. Demands of the individual members became that of the Unions who took up the cudgels with the management who bowed & the demands were satisfied. Aptly called Social Control of the banks!

But actually it was not that easy. Unions had to mobilise members across the country, issue circulars, organise seminars & meetings, issue notices of strike etc. Social Control has its cost too my dear Arora. Office bearers of the Unions have to work hard on all these aspects & for relaxation,  a peg or two in the evening is in order notwithstanding remarks passed by you my dear Arora.

In the instant case Com. Sehgal later informed that Com. Chada Secy. of the Head Office Union had visited Hyderabad region of course for mobilisation but could not mobilise good numbers. Besides RM Hyderabad named Narayanan Singh did not cooperate- neither did he address a common meeting & nor did he ‘gift properly’.  Now that Narayanan Singh is in Head Office building, befitting reception must be given to place the things in proper perspective. Hence the slogans. However, Com. Sehgal was of the opinion that more the slogans more the chances of promotion of Narayanan Singh.

Narayanan Singh eventually retired after reaching at the top. So dear Arora are you ready to go to the top?
