It was a great relief to say the least when i cam to know that i had cracked ibps and was selected into Bank of Baroda. After all it was a long and continuing journey that had showed its first fruits of hard work.
After completing BTech from Viswajyothi college in Kerala in 2011, i had decided to climb the tough uphill journey to crack civil services with little or no idea of how difficult it was to find a government job in a country with a population of 1.2 billion. I had given up my campus placement in Infosys which was secure and well paying to take up path that was full of obstacles. I shifted to delhi where i have been preparing for civils.
So after two years on finally offered my next job,fhew,what a sigh of relief it was to see the appointment letter.
I packed my bags after giving civil service mains exam in December 2014 and reported at Manipal county, Singasandra, Bangalore where my training or PG Diploma in Banking and Finance course was to be completed before joining the bank as a full employee.
The beauty of Banngalore a.k.a the garden city and silicon valley of india was indeed what it was as read and heard about, a green paradise and a very pleasent climate for a person who lived in the extreme temperature of delhi.
I was inducted into the 14th batch of BMSB, i was told,and alloted room 630, my paradise along with Abdoul "Fiverose" my room partner who became one of my best friends there. The campus was lush green, well maintained with a beautiful landscape that gave a great ambiance to the place.
Life in BMSB is a busy schedule that stretches whole day. There is PT in the morning to freshen up. working hours stretch from 9am to 6pm, and then we hope to be free to enjoy your bachelor life for, the early days of your career is always beautiful, full of excitement, independence from parents both personally and financially and what not. But soon you realise that your trainers are going to burst this dream bubble. The life is pretty tight with pre class and post class work, Presentations and what not. It turns out that you have more work in the evenings afterr 6pm than in working hours.
You are taught A to Z about your bank in BMSB, so that you are a full employee from day one.there are four semesters spreading across a year, of which last term will be in the bank so, its basically 9 months of training. The afterlife ie time after 6pm is not always that dull though. You have many colleagues around you who will work with you for another 35 years, so its a great time for friendship, finding life partners(serious and non serious), enjoying the parties in bangalore both inside and outside the campus i mean, exploring karnataka and tamilnadu if you love travelling and manymore hobbies and activities that you dreamt of doing, since music and dance is always alive in the campus.
My batch also gifted me with many friends that i will long remember. Later i had to resign in April from BMSB as i had qualified for IBPS PO MT 4 and was alloted Indian Overseas Bank which i decided to choose as i was a malayalee and IOB was headquartered in Chennai and has plenty of branches in kerala, Also i needed to continue my quest with civil services, for i had failed the civil service mains yet again.
So the journey continues, I am waiting for my joining in Indian overseas bank, felt pretty much depressed on failing civils again but decided to give it another shot, but on the job though this time, So that i am again insured (which is what it actually is for your parents are always worried about having a job) with another job in my kitty and resumption of my efforts for the exam. I miss all my friends in BMSB including Harish and Whole of 14B, for future aspirants, its a great place to learn banking i must say.
sayanora BMSB you will be there in my memories.
