Folks, If you have taken enough care, there is a common refrain to nearly all of their issues. Lets see what some of these 'flagrant issues' mean to the common banker and their enlightened guiding angels:
| Probable Issue of Strike | What it means to the Union Leader | What it means to the average banker |
| Computerisation | Loss of Power | Participte or Perish! |
| Liberalisation | Loss of Power | Participte or Perish! |
| Privatization | Loss of Power | Participte or Perish! |
| Merger | Loss of Power | Participte or Perish! |
| Outsourcing | Loss of Power | Participte or Perish! |
| Inflation & Other Policies of the incumbent government. | Loss of Power: How come they are not the Government itself? | Participte or Perish! |
| Wage Revision | Loss of Power: If the bank management had gumptions enough to fix up the wages right away, what would we do? | Participte or Perish! |
Reminds one of the popular nursery rhyme:
Ringa Ringa Roses
Pocket full of Poses
Husha Busha!
We all fall down!
It is probably a less acknowledged fact that this innocuous sounding rhyme which can often flow from a toddler's lips has a grave reference. It has its origins in the great plague attacks of the 17th century Europe. The killer disease first bloomed as rosy rings of rashes on the bodies of unfortunate victims followed by frequent sneezing bouts. People carried poises in their pockets to ward of bad smell and thus the disease. No antidotes were available and people died in heaps due to the contagion.
Thus, we fall down again and again and yet again and carry home lesser and lesser and still lesser salaries.

Strike, strike, & strike! more often than not we are forced to hear this not so striking word time & again. There are a few questions I would like to raise; Who is calling the strike, who is interested to go on strike, who is forced to go on strike and finally who is going to get what? Once all these questions are answered honestly, truth will come out like a lotus (probably!) from a deep layer of mud. Though I can’t claim my views are absolutely correct and shall explain each & every situation (nor it is aimed to), notwithstanding, I would certainly like to contribute in my own way.
First thing that strikes to my mind whenever I hear this word is the loss of a very hard-earned money for not so hard-earned issues. Actually, I am not a disbeliever of this word, but, there must be strong reasons to precede this. Strike for the sake of strike or strike for the gratification of some aspirations of so-called flag-holder(s) is pure injustice to others who actually have to go on strike. Generally what follows a strike is, another strike (for no reason of course!).
Whenever there is a strike, flag-holder will get surely, people who are really interested to go on strike shall get something probably, but, people who are forced to go on strike will lose definitely.
So, friends choice is yours! Either follow the herd or show a new way to people who are aspiring for the same.
