APOORVA: First of all, I must

admit, my parents have been my

great inspiration who guided,

guarded and motivated me into

studying well. In fact, I wanted

to score good marks and make

them happy.That was my aim.

Secondly, the teachers at school

played a great role in encouraging

and motivating me, hence

the credit behind my success

goes to them. My brother Karan

was someone whom I was looking

up to for inspiration as he

himself was a gold medallist. He

is my greatest motivator. I should

also add that he is my role model.

Regarding friends, yes, we did

group study and that helped to

secure good marks.

DM: After SSLC, what -Science,

Arts or Commerce?

APOORVA: In fact, I have

already chosen Science stream.

Physics, Chemistry Mathematics

and Statistics will be my subjects

of future study. I have chosen Science

because I

am planning to

prepare myself

for JEE and CET

exams. I must

admit, Mathematics

is my favourite

subject.

I simply love

Maths.

DM: After

two years of education, where do

you see yourself going?

APOORVA: As I said, after appearing

for JEE/CET, I wish to secure

a seat in some good engineering

college and later on to appear

for UPSC examination as my aim

is to become an IPS officer someday.

DM: Online education is the

‘new-normal’ in today’s world. Do

you think it is going to be effective,

as students keep complaining about

not being able to concentrate?

APOORVA: I think in the

present scenario, online classes

are the only best option considering

the safety of students.

I agree there is a difference between

real classroom and online

classroom, but with the present

technology it is not at all difficult

to interact with your teachers and

clear the doubts.

In the presence situation, I

believe we don’t have any other

option but to achieve best possible

results from the available set up.

Again, concentration depends on

the students if they have a mind

to cope up with the education and

I am sure it will definitely benefit

us.u

Continued from page 24 meant. Perhaps, if it is

referred to as swiping machine or billing machine,

the customer would be more comfortable. Also, we

have graduated from the days of Codified Circulars

to Master Circulars to SOP (Standard Operative Procedure).

Even government regularly comes out with

SOPs for Covid situations. Shall we presume that SOP

is not ‘old wine in new bottle’? Bankers fluently use

several abbreviations such as RACPC, CCPC, CPPC,

TFCPC, RLPC, FIMM, DSH, RACC etc., with the firm

belief that customers should grasp these.

Just as you need to a have dictionary to understand

the meaning of difficult words, it is time to

have dictionary to decipher all such abbreviations

and terminologies. Or should I say, we need to have

a granular data and MIS (Management Information

System) on all such abbreviations and terminologies

used. Also, despite giving push to digital products,

bankers complain that footfalls in branches have not

reduced at all and perhaps its time to have a paradigm

shift in their strategies. Also, when the bankers

talk of footfalls or walk-in customers can they forget

about ‘on boarding’ of new customers for new initiatives

of the Bank, under different verticals?

Incidentally, even government is not far behind

in using such abbreviations. How many of us know

the expansion of PM CARES Fund? Actually, its Prime

Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency

Situations Fund created on March 28, 2020, for

combating COVID 19 pandemic. As a matter of fact

it should have been India CARES Fund as whole of

India cares for the treatment for the dreaded virus

and not Prime Minister alone. But then, who cares?

That’s why we always say, “Kaalaaya Tasmai

Namaha”, though no one has coined KTN so far! u
