### THE CURRENCY CAVES ###

Have you been to a Bank( i mean the money spot) lately? What a MODUS VIVENDI!!!! Don't you think?
If u don't exactly know what a modus vivendi is, my article will serve as an apt explanation...........
A place with an unstoppable influx and exodus of people and money seems like the busiest place. However, the employees at our service don't quite seem the "people at our service". As flushed out as their good mood could get as time passes by, the very reflection of this phenomenon on us is never missed!

                                    The Manager is a silent cozy man/woman seated in his "disturb-me-as-little-as-possible" cabin at a corner trying to figure out head and tail of the junk on his table! The staff,the people with their own set of individual and variable moods are the ones who worry me at times. I cant quite say if it's the people (who deposit and withdraw the Vitamin M) or the environment around them, but work seems their worst nightmare!! (atleast in most of the banks i have been to ) There's a grumpy person who has an issue with everything. On the flip side,there's also a sober person to whom all customers are apparently routed as he is the one in the good mood for the day or rather to say for the hour :p

                               How could someone not mention the oomph of the place....the attender(or peon) ,his name being the MANTRA of the place, people keep chanting his name over and over to get things done be it big or small ! Like it is said " The person with the lowest post is the person of utmost importance! " As agile as the man is , moves around chair to chair meeting the needs of the staff by fetching files or papers or stamps or "stress relieving  tea" or even sometimes a smile. He is more or less as i perceive, the "mood enhancing " perky  man of the place!
Right in a corner seated behind a "prison looking petit cabin" is the cashier with all the cash! To meet him you imperatively need a token that looks like currency from the past...the ones owned by the kings in the good old days! and lots of patience. He is perhaps the only person who keeps mum most of the time. During their leisure, the staff has issues from all around the globe to talk about ...sometimes u might also land up being the one who with or without interest gets to be part of it when the guy at your service finds it more important than u. Patience is something that always comes in handy while at a bank. So, have you updated your patience levels recently?????
