please stand outside

This happened on 10th Oct.09
I was preparing papers for the upcoming Audit Committee of Executives (ACE) for which i happen to be coordinator. My Boss DGM(Audit and Inspection) is the Secretary of the ACE meetings and i have to get the Reviews from other departments and prepare a file for all Top Executives and has to be given at least a day before. This is a point of tension. In total there should be a feel of "all went well"..from the basic preparation of files, the inputs, the spellings, the quality of inputs, the jotting down of discussions, the preparation of minutes, and getting approval for all..

In between one of the answers for a last meeting query (this meeting should place a Action Taken Report on last meeting's questions and many departments would not have taken any action or probably many action points may require lot of time which the department heads would not like to tell public or give in writing) was for arranging for a booklet ,and our present MD is fond of books, on the various types of insurance available and meant for the common layman - the branch manager. The book to be brought out by a committee of Law dept and AGM (Training - now Learning Centre) By the incident happened to me today i doubt that the change in names would bring change in the attitudes.

I took the notings personally to Law dept where my friends were very helpful.. they asked me to write ..the process started..and also requested me to have a word with the AGM (Learning centre).

I waited outside his room. . there is nothing available to know whether he is inside or not.. and i suggested a small glass window of 1ftX1ft so that you can peep and decide whether to go in or wait outside.
My Y.K (AGM) came from outside..and my friend Mr.Sreekumar and myself went inside. I just waited near the door..after a few seconds i went two steps towards him and he asked "Entha.." I said Or cheriya kariyam.. and was beginning to tell..

Immediately, he said .. You wait outside.. I will call you...

I jumped outside..this is not the man who shook hands with me yesterday when I was the RBI Inspectors....this is not the type of AGMs who i visit earlier for such things..

I felt very sad .. I went to my dept and became formal..a letter from my dept to Learning centre requesting him to liaise with Law dept and bring a booklet on insurance and TEACH the officers who come for training. and i thought " a Learning centre is the seat of knowledge and the Head should be approachable even on mobile and any time..that's the way things are moving..and unfortunately he is a PO and POs are supposed to be broad minded ...

My usual conclusion : Things work because of personal equations; All the problems can be boiled down to "PERSONNEL - PLACEMENTS" and nobody looks into this.
