a dialog with a bank manager…
RM: Hello Mrs. Subra (name changed of course)
Client: Hello!!
RM: Madam you are our privilege customer and we are happy to be dealing with you. You are our Regal customer…..
Client: Oh, thank you, so what?
RM: Madam in this Regal category you are about Rs. 5L short to retain this status..so could you please do a FD worth Rs. 5L or buy some ULIP or at least some mutual fund investment …
Client: Who made me Regal customer?
RM: Madam the bank did
Client: did the bank ask me?
RM: It was automatic based on the Rs. 30L balance that yu had kept
Client: Did I ask the bank to make me Regal?
RM: No maam..but you were entitled…but…
Client: So take me off this exalted list
RM: No maam you will then lose privileges…
Client: what privileges?
RM: better rates in FDs with us..
Client: I invest in mutual funds.
RM: Please invest that through us
Client: Sorry that slot is taken
RM: Take life insurance
Client: too expensive!! and get it – we are too old and have no dependents..
What to say? ..?????

One conversation:
Telephone rings…
Me: Hello
Sales Guy: Sir, I’m from Life Insurance Corporation, you have LIC policy?
Me: Yes…?
SG: Sir, is your policy verified?
Me: Verified? What’s that?
SG: Sir, we do verification of Life Insurance Policies to make sure everything is in order. Sir, when can we come to your place for verification? This service is free!
Me: Free?
SG: Yes sir, your address please, we can come anytime you want!
Me: You are from LIC, you know I have LIC policy, can’t you verify yourself?
SG: No sir, we need to see all documents for verification, that’s why…When can I come, sir?
Me: Not needed…thank you, my mamaji is LIC agent, I will verify thru him!
Telephone cut…!!!
