SBI

Me and my friends went to SBI, Mattancherry for opening an account. We were in need of an account for studying online banking. We are getting trained to teach online. Mr. Sebastian Panakal is teaching us. He is the Pri ncipal of eSchool Kerala. He sent us to the bank to open a bank account.


We asked an officer of the bank for an application form. He sent me to another officer.Second person asked me to ask yet another officer. He sent me to the third person. Some people were standing around the third person chatting. We asked the third officer for an application to open a savings account with the bank. Then he asked us “what is the purpose for opening an account?” Doesn’t he know?


We explained our purpose. But he said, “this is a crowded bank. We have no application to waste. And we are very busy here. If you need to start an account, come with your parents. “


Then we tried to see the Manager. A security man came to us and asked “what is the need of seeing the manager?. He is busy. He will be free only after one week. And we were sent out.”

I have some questions?

* loss of a paper is a big loss to them?
* Did children(who's age is above 12) have no right to open a bank account?
* Is this is the way to treat a customer?

Now What!
After my SSLC exam, I started thinking of my future plans.I used to spend my time with my friends and never thinked of future.
Luckily, I was able to attend a family get-together where I met Sebastian Panakal. “Meet him, said my aunt. You will like him and his methods”.
Meet yet another boring teacher? I didn’t want to meet yet another boring teacher. But I had to.


My aunt insisted I should meet him. So I went.
He showed us some videos where his students were working as online teachers!!  I joined his Learn English Online project.He told us about "EARN WHILE YOU PROJECT".
He showed us his world, his friends and his work! It is a wonderful world!!
I am now forever indebted to my auntie Rajani for introducing me to Sebastian Panakal.
