The First citizen of India is from a humble and rural background. That gives each and everyone of us loads and loads of confidence, courage, joy and what not.
Yet, when someone, within our circle of acquaintances achieves something, it becomes a source of joy, beyond words. A woman, rather a girl to us, in her late twenties, from a family known to us for more than three generations has become the branch manager of a bank and got a chance to serve the people in her own hometown. Getting an opportunity to serve in the hometown is not common in the banking sector.
Women fly planes in the armed forces, drive heavy vehicles from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, hold high positions in judiciary and have ruled the country even before centuries. No domain can now be termed as male dominated, not served by women. They are scions of empowerment !
Even decades back, women have held top positions in nationalised banks. As, said earlier, still...exuberance, excitement and double fold joy can not be ruled out on visiting the branch, managed by our girl and couldn't help saluting her. She not only made my day but the entire week !
