[Continued from yesterday] Arundhati completes her four-year assignment in New York and changes in the family affairs take place with her husband joining her, taking a job in US etc. Anyway she was still an Assistant General Manager (AGM), posted to Kolkata at Bank’s Foreign Department, which handled the Treasury Operations. A big responsibility indeed….
[Continued from yesterday] On Sept. 5, 1977, Arundhati Bhattacharya was sent to SBI Staff College, Hyderabad. After the training period, she was posted to her familiar ground during her student days, Alipore. This was her probation period of two years. She had further training at Vadodara in Gujarat.

On 25.2.22, Dr. C.D. Sreenivasa Murthy, city’s well-known physician, gave me a signed book titled ‘Indomitable,’ an autobiography of Arundhati Bhattacharya, former Chairman of State Bank of India (SBI).

You are the architect of your life — Swami Vivekananda [Continued from yesterday] Joseph was not sure of success with the Bishop but mustered courage and knocked the door. “Knock and it shall be opened unto you.” Is it not written so in the Bible? The door opened and Joseph was welcomed with a warm…
You are the architect of your life — Swami Vivekananda Recently I got a book titled ‘In Search Of A Destiny’ with a hangline ‘A Life’s World Journey.’ The title seemed rather an abstraction and the hangline bombastic.
