A Banker

*A Unique Edition For Lifetime*

[Yuvraj Singh @YUVSTRONG12]

Some moments show you what a person is truly made of.

Captain Smit Machchhar showed extraordinary courage in the face of grave danger, putting the lives of others before his own despite being seriously injured.

That kind of courage deserves the deepest respect.

Wishing him strength, a speedy recovery and good health. 🇮🇳🙏

[Alankrit Shukla @alashshukla]

A message to entire nation.

Bankers don't want to trouble you. Infact we are giving up our salary for the demand which was agreed in 2024.

I request you all to understand our concern. It's about our family time.

Everyone deserves time for rest.

[United Forum Of Bank Unions @UFBUPUNE]

Don’t mistake our commitment to public service for weakness.

During COVID, when many stayed home, bankers stood at the counters, handled cash, processed salaries, pensions, loans and essential banking services—putting ourselves and our families at risk.

We stood with the public then.
We stand with them now.

Respect bankers. Respect dialogue. Respect democracy.

We won’t be bullied. We won’t be silenced. We will stand together.

6 Crore Legal Cases are pending in Indian Courts, still Supreme Court & High Courts work in 5 Days Work week. But Govt never asked them to Work 6 Days week due to Critical & Essential Services!

Hypocrisy!!!

5-Day Banking was agreed in March 2024, with longer weekdays accepted in return.

The commitment was made. The implementation is overdue.

8.86 lakh employees in 2012-13.
7.58 lakh by March 2025.
Business past Rs 283 lakh crore.
Record profits, over a lakh fewer hands and still six day per week.
5 day banking is not a concession. It is arithmetic that caught up long ago

“Saturday ko banks band ho gaye, toh banking kaise chalegi?”

Mera sawaal hai—kya aaj banking, bank ki branch se chalti hai?

UPI 24×7 hai.
IMPS 24×7 hai.
NEFT 24×7 hai.
ATM, mobile banking, internet banking—sab available hain.

Toh phir India mein 5-Day Banking kyun nahi?

1 . Productivity.
Bank employees ka kaam sirf cash deposit aur withdrawal nahi hai. Loans, compliance, audits, fraud prevention, targets—pressure enormous hai. Two-day weekend means better-rested employees and potentially better productivity.

2. Work-life balance.
Burnout kam hoga, employee satisfaction aur retention improve ho sakta hai.

3. Cost saving.
Thousands of branches ko Saturday operate karne mein electricity, security, cash management aur manpower ka cost lagta hai.

4. Digital India.
Jab government khud digital payments promote kar rahi hai, toh har Saturday physical branch kholna increasingly less necessary hai.

5. sabse important.

5-day banking ka matlab customers ko kam banking nahi milni chahiye.

Monday to Friday working hours thode extend kiye ja sakte hain, aur essential services digital channels se 24×7 chalti rahengi.

Aur waise bhi, abhi second aur fourth Saturday banks band rehte hain, customers already alternate-Saturday system manage kar rahe hain.

In the age of UPI, banking is no longer a place you go to—banking is a service that follows you 24×7.

Kuldeep Yadav should be thinking of packing his bags and saying goodbye to international cricket. Today there was no Bumrah, no Washington, no Varun but Kuldeep still didn't find a place in 11. India's bowling attack at Lord's is one dimensional and lacks variety. A left-arm wrist spinner would have come handy. Remember he has 194 wickets in 118 ODIs. It seems these numbers don't matter.

Payal Nag.

Daughter of a daily-wage mason from Odisha.
Electrocuted at the age of eight. Lost all four limbs.

And then, found a bow.

Spotted through her paintings by coach Kuldeep Vedwan, the same man who shaped world champion Sheetal Devi.

Defeated her idol Sheetal Devi at the World Para Archery Series Final in Bangkok, April, 2026

Whenever I am feeling low or sorry for myself I will look at these images of Payal & Sheetal again & remind myself what the words: Courage, Resilience & Positive thinking, really mean.

These champions are not just my #MondayMotivation.

They will be a source of motivation Every. Single. Day

I feel it’s an absolutely fair call with the IPL. A choice more than a forced measure. The sport will always return in pleasant times but for now it’s time for our all - out support to one team alone - Our Defence Forces ! Jai Hind 🇮🇳
