Now this was getting on my nerves, everyone was asking me to change my department. But I continued working there, learnt much more about human behavior. Auditors were being very strict. But I thoroughly enjoyed my time. Will never forget working at Local Remittance department!
That was my third week, managerial issues were getting horrible.
I’ll go to some other department from the start of fourth week and will surely update new experiences!
Take care till the next time I’ll update!

Old learning, new experience
This was my second week at bank for internship. I was asked by a concerned person to change my department for further learning but I personally wanted to be at the same place for the rest of the job, for no other reason but I got a comfort zone at that department. And God listened to me and I stayed at the same department. Now I learnt many things here. Good experiences are obvious but you learn more from bad experiences. I learned much more, made new friends but the work place politics was the very reason of disappointment. I’ve been persecuted many times for being a Christian citizen, but my supervisor was a neutral man, he never done anything that reminds me of a fact that I belongs to minorities’ community, and this is the reason i respect him the most.
Well, I started feeling embarrassed when people started asking me to change my department. I don’t understand what their problem is. On the first day, when I was new, no one agreed to make me work for them, frankly speaking there was only one man, Asif sahib who worked with me, who taught me, who actually took the risk of letting me work on his login, knowing that I may make mistakes, he trusted on my abilities, and now when his department needs extra help, how can i leave him. Now to see me work everyone else was may be jealous but I’ll not go anywhere unless Mr. Asif is back to normal routine.
It is a natural phenomenon that no one can see a junior or an intern working smoothly and happily and they think that I am a small little girl, as I look. People need to understand that everyone is not what they think; everything that shines is not glitter. I have more experience of observing and responding to internal politics of a work place than they think I have. And I’m here for some reason, not because they give me food to eat :-p every time I see other interns they are chatting, having tea, and all. Don’t worry guys, I’ll not leave my morals but I’ll show you how dangerous a double face girl can be. As far as working is concerned, I spent golden week. Although, the managerial perspective this bank is damn bad but I loved this week. Currently it’s just an internship, I believe to change a system you need to go to the top before speaking, right words, right place and now I am damn interested to change it!
I’ll update again what happened next.
Till then stay safe!

The confused beginning that ends well. :)
Although I was asked to be at the bank by 8:50, out of nervousness I reached there at 8:25, so just to pass the time I started walking along the road and you can’t imagine the way how people were staring at me. Well it’s not like I’ve been never to work but it was just that I never had a positive image of people working at the bank, for the very few reasons including my finance professor who is a weird person and also a bank employee . So finally it’s the time to enter the bank, I crossed my fingers and went in. I met the person I know and he introduced me to a short, active, smart man who asked me to wait in the waiting area. Ok guys point here, it was 8:55 and I sat there waiting to be called and I got a call at 9:26, wasn’t that quick? Hahahhahaha leave it! Then, he called me and there I made my first mistake (that was not important to mention) after getting some papers signed by me he asked me my major subject and after getting the reply “operations” he took me to a big glass door, top of which was written OPERATIONS .
Inside that door, was a very boring environment, I tell you. Well, I was taken to a Pathan , who after having a few words asked me to follow him and then made me sit on a chair in front of a desk. Now unknowingly I was sitting on the desk of their senior manager whatever. Khan sahib told me that there will be a short interview and then I’ll be sent to any department the manager would choose. After listening to what Mr. Khan told me, I bugged myself to say wake up, a rude annoying, arrogant person who is a senior manager here is going to kick you out of the bank. Again point to be noted here that I waited for the manager to come from 9:35 to 10:10. Isn’t this amazing? Well, again leave it there are some things you can’t do anything about.
Now came a short, tidy man who was there manager and I thought that he is here to take something from the desk, seriously guys that man was confused, I read that in his eyes. As said that first impression is the last one, it might be a psychological problem but I have always seen him confused and tensed, for no reason or may be for some reason. Now that guy had few questions, and after that I concluded that some IDIOT has appointed him. No offences but I’d make a new example AS CONFUSED AS THE MANAGER! :D and of course out of confusion he sent me to an acceptable bulky lady who was good at behavior but lazy as a dull housewife. Well, she’s the best boss because she let me sit idle for a whole half an hour. I sat there silently and was planning to run away and praying to God to send someone to help.
After few minutes again a short, slim, decent man came and asked madam, that there is someone on leave at BLAH BLAH BLAH side, so they need someone, if she’d allow he’d take me. And that lady signaled him to take me as if I was a headache for her who's been annoying her all the time :( I felt sad and sad and sad. But God will never let me fall, that sadness was the beginning of a golden period, I was taken to local remittance area. Gosh finally that was a hell like heaven. Too much of work load but I still see people smiling, laughing. This was not a much likely place but at least it was easier to pass time there. On the first day I got some work to do but I’m still am guilty that unintentionally I made mistakes. Hehehehehe but I am happy with my supervisor, who bears me everyday till now ignoring my mistakes.
Next day, I got to learn many things. I swear, man that remittance officer is a better teacher than all my accounting professors. I learned how the entries were made and what the procedure is, to issue an instrument. This was so much getting familiarize with all that stuff. That was the day I felt dull and was difficult to pass but later the days were full of fun and passed like an eye blink. No matter I was stressed because my sister was hospitalized and I work 20 hours a day, I spent my time at bank with full commitment and my soul in the work.
Frankly speaking, I am attached to these people now. Soon my duty will be changed to the other department but I will never forget some of the marvelous personalities here. First of all, Asif and Khurram sahib were a great inspiration, then Mr. Butt was the only person I’d like to observe, he seemed as if he used to be an athlete or something like that. Saleem sahib is funny, who often visit there there’s also a pleasantly plum hahahhahahah FAT guy who visit almost daily, I don’t know his name but I am sure he’ll be always on my mind, because of his weird talks and actions which sound sweet to me.
So, it’s all till now I’ll update next week!
ENJOY!
