A lot of my friends are already back to work today, barely hours after celebrating Diwali last night.
Why doesn’t India have its own 10-14 day holiday season?
The West shuts down around Christmas and New Year. China does it for Lunar New Year.
Why are Indians expected to get back to work after just 1-2 days of celebrating our biggest festivals?
India deserves a proper festive holiday season too. 🇮🇳
Tomorrow the entire country will be lighting diyas, celebrating with their families, and preparing for Diwali—while we, nationalised bank employees, are forced to drag ourselves to work on a SATURDAY during festival week.
Are we public servants or modern-day bonded labourers?
A spineless union that sells out its own workforce and a completely tone-deaf government treating bankers like second-class citizens. Keep your hollow, hypocritical festival wishes to yourselves. Give us our basic dignity and our 5-day work week! Absolute shame!

All Indian Banks are running on Whatsapp. Sensitive Data, Business figures & instructions shared through it, India's Banking regulator is sleeping over such tiking Bomb. Gross violations of Bank's own social media policy being done by every executives.
Trump bhi Jayega
Netanyahu bhi Jayega
Modi bhi Jayega
And ideally, they will all go to jail after losing.
The amount of fraud, corruption and destruction they all have done is unprecedented in modern history.
The most normalized open extortion in Indian middle class life:
The Sub Registrar office on property registration day.
You spend 10 years saving every rupee from your salaried job.
You pay 30% TDS on your income.
You pay 7% official stamp duty online via net banking.
You pay 1% registration fee through a government treasury challan.
Every single paisa is accounted for on your bank statement.
Then you reach the government registration office with your builder or seller:
The deed writer pulls you aside into a dusty corridor:
"Sir, ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 cash alag se lagega for the desk. Official receipt nahi milegi."
You: "Bhaiya, I already paid ₹4.5 lakhs in official government stamp duty online!"
Agent smiles with complete indifference:
"Sir, mat do. Phir file 'Property Under Valuation' mark hoke audit me chali jayegi. 6 mahine chakkar kaatna."
You stand in an airless hallway, walk to the nearest ATM, withdraw ₹30,000 cash, and slip it inside the file folder just to get your own thumb impression scanned.
We aren't a digital, cashless economy.
We are a country where honest taxpayers have to withdraw physical cash just to get legal permission to own what they already paid for.
Did your property registration happen 100% clean, or did you have to pay the "corridor settlement fee" too?
