An
urgent meeting of all key kitti members was requisitioned by chairperson Ms.
Bhat in view of the announcement of setting up of ladies bank as per budget
2013-14. Several questions were to be resolved before this ladies bank was
launched in terms of declaration in the budget today.
Ms.
Mehra immediately called for the caterer & hurriedly settled the menu –
samosa, sandwitch, assorted pakora including paneer pakora, rasmalai, canned
juice & of course tea / coffee in the end. Then she called for bouquet,
pads & pencils & instructed the peon for such & such. Suddenly she
got very busy indeed. Meeting was stormy but cordial.
Minutes
of the meeting are as under:
1. Chairperson
addressed the gathering & apprised everybody of the news. Most of them were
surprised as they did not have time for watching such a boring thing as budget
on tv. But now they were excited. They were requested to consider &
recommend a suitable name for this upcoming bank.
-Let’s
call it Dhanno Bank. -Why not Saas-Bahu Bank?
Well there
was shouting, giggles & amidst the din several names were heard: Bank of
Chhamiyas’, Rani Bank, Bank of Girl Friends, Bank of Kanyakumari, Roopwati
Bank, Lipsticky Bank etc. After a
noisy session the name Sheela-Munni Bank was voted as favourite of all. This
was done after abbreviating Sheela ki jawani & Munni badnam hui hit songs.
There was live presentation also by members present of both the songs.
2. Then
it was unanimously decided to designate savings a/c of senior citizens as Saas
Accounts bearing 1% more interest. This item took much less time than was
anticipated.
3. It
was also unanimously decided that nomination in Saas Account would never be
that of a Bahu but vice versa shall be accepted.
4. As
proposed by a kitti member & accepted by majority, every branch must have a
crèche & a beauty parlour attached.

male guards were to be engaged but fit young ladies well versed in judo,
karate, taekwondo, kushti & boxing were to be deployed at the branches.

decided that GOI, MOF & RBI be requested to consider printing currency
notes depicting female(s) from ancient history, saints, celebrities’ etc.
Distribution of this may be through proposed Sheela-Munni Bank only.
