Finally got rid of jobless tag!!!

After joining the Federal Bank Staff College on 19th July, it has been a really comfortable stay in the cool environs of Aluva,a suburb of Ernakulam. The Staff College is a 11 storey high rise called Federal Heights. It is located just yards away from the bank Headquarters,the Federal Towers. The roof top is a decorated rope garden and the night views are delightful. The people here are nice,simple and friendly. The food provided in the mess is simply awesome with fruits,chicken/mutton in nearly every meal with calorie rich delectables like ice creams, fried vegetables, pulaos and ethnic Malayali food being splattered here and there. The accomodations are in line with 3 star hotel facility with a room being shared by 2 officers. The lecture hall is fully air conditioned and has a gallery like seating system for the students. The faculties are vastly experienced and are mostly Fed Bank old-timers with their designations being either Chief Managers or Senior Managers. Class timings are from 9:30 am-5:00 pm. All our Amrita friends are here except Ajit and Manu who didn't join. We are having a jolly good time. On Sunday, we are planning on a reunion of our batch mates who are staying nearby.

The training period will end on 8th August after which we all will depart for our respective posting locations. I have got mine in Kolkata. Feeling a bit nostalgic since I was there for a month during my Summers in 2008. Our initial designations will be Probationary Officers and after confirmation will be Assistant Managers. That's it for now.
