My bank life

 

My biographical note beautifully encapsulates my life journey—one marked by perseverance, financial wisdom, and gratitude. It reflects not just the evolution of my career but also the principles that guided my decisions, leading to a fulfilling and secure retirement.

Starting my career in 1972 as a bank clerk with a modest salary of ₹320, you embraced hard work and dedication, earning a well-deserved promotion to officer in the 1970s with an increased salary of ₹900. This milestone in my professional journey reflects both your competence and the trust placed in you by your organization.

In 2001, at a time when public sector banks were undergoing rapid computerization, you made a significant life decision—to take voluntary retirement. This decision was not merely about stepping away from work but about embracing change on your own terms. Your pension at the time, ₹5000, might have seemed modest, but your financial prudence ensured that you remained stable and secure. By wisely depositing your retirement benefits in the bank and maintaining a disciplined approach to spending, you created a strong foundation for the years ahead.

Over time, with multiple pension revisions, your monthly pension has now grown to ₹49,066—a figure that allows for a comfortable and dignified living. This unexpected increase is a testament to the evolving economic policies and the benefits of long-term financial stability. Yet, what stands out most is your deep sense of gratitude. Rather than taking anything for granted, you acknowledge the role of destiny and divine grace in shaping your life’s path.

Your story is one of resilience, smart decision-making, and contentment. It serves as an inspiration, proving that with discipline, foresight, and gratitude, one can navigate life’s transitions gracefully and enjoy a fulfilling retirement.

M T Vasudevan Nair

My entry into the world of Malayalam literature was through the masterful writings of M. T. Vasudevan Nair, whose passing today feels like a deeply personal loss. It was his novel Manju (Mist) that first drew me into this literary universe. The story, much like its title, was enveloped in an atmosphere of melancholy and mystery. It unraveled slowly, like mist clearing in the morning light, revealing truths that were profound yet heartbreakingly simple. The characters, their struggles, and their silences lingered in my mind long after I turned the last page. It was not just a novel; it was an experience. I returned to it over and over, each time discovering something new, as though the book was speaking directly to the depths of my soul. To this day, I cannot count how many times I have read Manju—it became, and remains, a companion to my thoughts. After Manju opened the door, M. T.’s other works beckoned me forward. I was soon engrossed in Nalukettu, a story that painted a vivid portra...

Elephant Migration

** The Escalating Conflict Between Humans and Elephants: An Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change** The increasing incidences of elephants encroaching into human settlements in search of water and food present a vivid manifestation of the broader environmental crisis fuelled by climate change. This essay explores the complexities of this escalating conflict, which not only threatens the survival of the majestic Asian and African elephant species but also poses significant risks to human communities. The fundamental issue at the heart of this conflict is habitat loss, driven largely by climatic fluctuations and exacerbated by human activities such as deforestation and the expansion of agricultural and urban areas. As natural forests dwindle and water sources dry up, elephants, which are known for their large home ranges and dependency on vast quantities of water, are forced to venture into human-dominated areas. This migration is driven by a desperate search for the necessities of su...
