I have always felt that banks are there mostly for rich people or the people who are expecting to be rich. So, I don’t really need to run to a bank, except on some rare occasions, apparently because I am a student, and I fall in neither of these categories of people. Today, I would like to talk about one such occasion when I needed to go to a bank about a few months ago.
I have always lived in an extended family, with my uncles, aunts and cousins living together with us, and we always take care of each other as best as we can, including sharing gifts among each other during all kinds of religious festivals. But, a couple of months ago, my family had a unique problem in sharing that gifts with everybody on the eve of one such religious festival because my youngest uncle had to move far away from us and live there because of professional reasons, and a gift needed to be delivered to my uncle as well. But, of course, my father didn’t think that it was a good idea to buy a gift and mail it to him and decided instead to send a “money order” from a bank nearby.
So I visited a local branch of Standard Chartered bank. But, after entering the bank, I found a long queue waiting to “welcome” me instead of some “friendly” faces! So, I had no other choice except waiting there until my turn came. However, after waiting for about 20 minutes, while occasionally chatting with an officer, I finally managed to make a “money order”.
Anyway, talking about my experience, I wouldn’t exactly say it was very “thrilling” because every customer there seemed to be a bit “agitated” as it was taking a bit way too long to finally reach the bank official. Besides, the behaviour of the bank officials wasn’t very “inviting” either because they weren’t probably expecting that kind of rush at that hour. However, the good thing about that visit was, I actually managed to befriend with one of the officers there because we attended the same high school!
