I feel utmost grief in announcing the sad demise of my ex co-News anchor at Doordarshan, Sarala Maheshwari 🙏
She was the embodiment of grace and courtesy.
Beautiful not just in appearance but even more so at heart, she had a remarkable command over language and was a reservoir of knowledge. Her presence on the Doordarshan screen had a unique aura. She respected everyone and uplifted every space she was part of.
I pray that God grants her soul eternal peace and gives strength to the Maheshwari family.
Om Shanti 🙏🙏🙏
India is 100% digital… but bankers are still working on a 1995 timetable.
UPI runs 24×7. ATMs work 365 days.
Digital payments never sleep —
only bankers are expected to.
🔹 90% routine banking is mobile & UPI, yet humans follow a 6-day “legacy protocol.”
🔹 Cash counters dropped by 60–70%, but pressure didn’t get the memo.
🔹 Technology upgraded instantly; human recharge time is still “under review.”
🔹 A 6-day week fuels burnout and fatigue — clearly not the smartest digital upgrade.
🔹 5-Day Banking saves thousands of crores, but rest is still treated as a premium feature.
The irony is that India built a lightning-fast digital economy but forgot to update the humans running it.
The simple truth is bankers are asking for 5-Day Banking not for comfort, but because humans — unlike machines — need a restart.
