Citizen-SBI has given me strength to tide over difficult times

I was on a hopping flight from Indore to Hyderabad last Thursday. Mr Bharat Keswani boarded the flight at Nagpur. Both of us had a common destination - SBIICM, Hyderabad. All the AGMs of SBLCs had gathered there for an award function for the best Satellite Centre. Keswani received the consolation prize for SBLC, Jabalpur from Mr Krishna Kumar, DMD(IT).

Keswani conducted the first citizenship orientation programme at Bhopal on 1st September 2010 and is one of the finest facilitators in our Circle. He has a deep conviction and is sincerely devoted to the cause. We have the best programme feedback from participants for the programmes running at his centre.

He is undergoing a difficult phase of his life now. His father passed away recently. His 13-year old son has a serious problem with his lever and is undergoing check-ups and treatment at Hyderabad. Besides, he is facing some personal problems also.

On our return flight, Keswani told me that the citizenship programme has given him a lot of strength to face these difficult times. The spirit of postive contribution is now thoroughly ingrained in him and he gives his best not only at his workplace but also at home.

Earlier, he left the domestic affairs totally to his wife. Now, on his way back from office, he collects vegetables for home and fruits and medicines for his son. To make his movements inside the market easier, he has started using a scooter instead of car. He senses a clear shift and change inside him. He is becoming a better human being, sees meaning in life and contributes without hesitation in all spheres. He is trying to give the best treatment to his son and spending a lot of quality time with him. He feels more and more affectionate towards him. Even his little son is able to see the devotion in his father and has started cooperating in taking medicines willingly and strictly keeping away from junk food.

Keswani expressed his deep gratitude to colleagues in SBIICM who have stood by him in these difficult times and Citizen-SBI which has given him deep inner strength and fortitude to face the calamity with hope and faith. We wish his little son a speedy recovery!
