Namaskar to everybody
There is a Telugu Proverb
“Dabbu leni vadu
Dubbuku (bit of grass) koragadu”

Means Man without money is not even equal to bit of grass
So Money is so important in life

In 1999, Arts and Entertainment networks published about Top 100 influencial persons in the millenium
The number one is, not a Scientist, it was Johannes Gutenberg who was invented printing machine.
In 1450, he printed a German Poetry as a first copy of printing machine
After that he printed the Bible in Latin, nearly 3 years from 1452 to 1455 and printed about 180 copies of bibles.
If you see about the coins in India, King Sher Shah Suri (1486-1545) issued 40 copper coins which are equivalent to One rupee.
After that British came to India, Warren Hastings issued paper rupee through Bank of Hindustan and after that from 1815, Madras presidency also issued paper rupees from south india.

In CLRI cash section, there is a compulsion that if they don’t issue money to the people on the same day, they have to write the names and carry forward to next day, so they use to call each and every person to take the cash from the cash section on the same day. So this is the opportunity for them to know each and every employee of CLRI. In CLRI everybody knows that who is in cash section, so they have some kind of rapport with everybody in CLRI. Only few people we know from the administration sections since they won't deal each and every staff of CLRI.

In my case, sometimes I felt there is no money, what to do in that situation, whether I go for loan from somebody, then I use to get call from cash section that I should come and take the money, that may be PF, DA arrears, TA bill, whatever it is. Once I have given a loan of Rs.50/= to my known elder person, that person use to say that I won’t forget you in life time because of your money help, that day we got the meals for whole family. Further he said with that money he went ration shop and got the rice and prepare the food for the family on that day. He is a richman earlier and he become poor due to lorries business loss (he waited for lorries to return to pay insurance money, that one day late payment of insurance made him so poor). That is the situation, so the situation is important here, in critical times, I use to get a call from cash section that I have to take cash from the cash section.

People already told that about good qualities of Mrs Sambavathy, as Cashier, generally ladies have the capability of doing multi tasks. We use to see in the houses, even house wife use to see TV serials, and do cooking and telling tuition to children and doing other things at a time. Now after recognized ladies important, they become chairman and managing directors of many banks. You may be seeing this, now-a-days many banks are opting ladies as chairman and managing directors for their banks.

A child fell down in the well, one farmer saved that child, that child was a rich man’s son, then rich man came and gave lot of money to save his child but the farmer denied money. Then rich man seen farmer's son and asked whether his son is going to school or not? Farmer said that is not possible because school is 35 kilometers far away from his house. Then rich man convinced the farmer and took him to his house and sent him to school all the years. The rich man son is Winston Churchill, the great leader of Britain and the farmer son is Alexander fleming who invented the Pencillin medicine.

In the second world war, people use to die but pencillin saved many people and even Churchill also. Showing gratitude in return, Churchill recommended him to Nobel Prize and fleming got the nobel prize. Churchill got the nobel prize in literature so he recommended him to nobel prize. What I am telling here, a good work or activity will be multiplied in many times and it gives more good things.

Dr BSR Reddy is also having good quality helping people at the first instance, generally all officers at first instance say negative reply. If somebody is coming to you for some help, that means he believed that you can help him, if you say negative reply then his great belief will be changed from his mind. My colleague use to say that Mr Bhatnagar, former A.O has helped him for his transfer otherwise it was not possible to come to CLRI. In olden days, officers use to help the people but now-a-days it is not like that.

I pray almighty that both of them get good health, peaceful retired life.

Dr BSR reddy has got Doctor in Science and he is the Royal Society Member (London) and so he deserves for standing ovation, I request you all of you give standing ovation.



Thank you
