The curious case of Demand Draft at SBI

Today I saw the shocking behaviour of an SBI bank employee at, Ansari Nagar branch, who was supposed to process me a Demand Draft.I have taken many DDs for organizations in Ahmedabad , Mumbai and all.Today I was to take a DD for an organization in Bangalore.The DD was for Rs.600/- and the exchange amount was Rs.30/-.Since there was no TOKEN SYSTEM as in other banks the customers have to stand in a Queue.(God knows why such a busy bank is still without the token system).I filled all the details properly and waited in the queue as usual.It took nearly 1.5 hours to reach the counter.

On reaching the counter the employee told me ,I can’t make a DD with cash amount unless until I have an SBI account in that Branch.I told him I have an account with SBI but not in that branch.Then he said I can make the Demand Draft only if I give him a Cheque.

SBI employee :“With Cash amount we won’t make the Demand Draft for you if it is outside Delhi”

me: why ?

SBI employee: The rules have changed.

me: What rules ? I have made scores of DDs with you in the same counter some for Ahmedabad and some for Mumbai.Then why not now ?

SBI employee : [showed me the counter where the DD are printed] Go ask that lady !

I went to the DD printer and asked the person printing the DD’s.She said,yes the rules have changed.

But I wanted to confirm this from another customer.I asked a customer if I can make DD with cash amount for outside Delhi.He said YES ! Of course you can make.

Then I went to Branch Manager.

Branch manager said “What the counter guy said?”

I said about the new rule which the SBI employee at the counter was saying.The Manager started telling some banking terms which I didn’t understand and asked me why I am coming to the branch manager directly instead of asking others.I told him,you are the fourth person I am asking this,and this is only to confirm if the new “system” or “rule” whatever the employee at the counter was telling is true or not.I demanded the answer in YES or NO else I said I am going to complain about this.

The manager asked me to repeat my question again and he now retreated and told that “DD is for sending money outside cities,so you should be able to send the same”.He asked for the DD form and signed at top of the form and asked me to give the form back to the same counter and said “He will do it now”.

When I went to the SBI employee at the counter (counter 7,where he usually sits) he said he will do it but asked me to stand at the end of the queue once again.I explained him that I have enquired the branch manager and resolved the issue…

the employee said: “Go to the next counter”

I was infuriated and decided to get out of the Bank Premises when I saw the branch manager talking to the SBI employee.The Employee was now asking me to give him the money and DD form and said he will make it.I waited for 10 minutes and after that the lady at the counter where the DD were printed said …it is a system we have made for convenience..

CONVENIENCE ??

WHOSE CONVENIENCE … it’s upto you to decide.I am demanding the SBI to answer to my question …why was the SBI employee not responding properly to me ? I want an Answer to this question else I will complain to RBI.

I want the State Bank of India to answer this question :

“Why did the SBI employee bluntly said ‘making a DD outside Delhi with cash amount is no more in the system’ ?

If  I do not get the answer ..I am taking this to RBI

On Sachin’s 200

God - who made 200

Well, this is not one of those matches when I used to watch every ball.I have lost touch with cricket and do not follow cricket much but somehow stay in touch with it.I remember how I used to defend Sachin when many of my friends and colleagues criticise Sachin for his poor form.Yesterday was the end of that all.Last night,Sachin finally made the most elusive record in one day cricket..THE ODI 200.

Well there were always speculations about who is going to score 200 in a single innings in ODIs.When Shewag hit a blizkreig century against Lanka in his Sixth innings we thought it was Shewag , When Dhoni hit 183 against Lanka we thought it’s Dhoni and long back in ’99 World cup we thought it was Ganguly (when he scored 183 against … Lanka [WHAT A COINCIDENCE])

I watched all those innings LIVE and I remember how I was filled with JOY of an Indian cricketer scoring so many runs at the same time little uneasy about the fact that “WISH THIS WAS SACHIN’S INNINGS”.

Also when Anwar got out at 194 at Chepauk in 1997 against India,I was happy because Anwar didn’t reach 200 than being sad about India’s loss in that match.Same case,in a match against Lanka when Jayasuriya scored 189 against India.

Yesterday,I was satisfied finally after earlier disappointments against Australia (175) and New Zealand(186*).Actually,Sachin is the only player who reached beyond 150 so many times(not sure of the fact though)

Well done Sachin,you have finally sealed the dirty mouths of all those who doubt your talents.You are indeed God.You have always been my inspiration and will always be.

Google Analytics problem in my WordPress based Website

I am trying to create a Google Analytics for this website

http://dr-lokku.com/docblog/

and this is the index.php for that site.

The text in italics is what I added to the code

<?php

include (“analyticsTracking.php”);

define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

$my_string = “<font color=\”red\”> <a href=\”http://dr-lokku.com/docblog/wp-admin\”> Login </a> </font> “;

echo $my_string;

?>

And the include file code  is :

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://dr-lokku.com/docblog/”);

document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

</script>

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-XXXXXX-X”);

pageTracker._trackPageview();

</script> <?php

// End Analytics tracking code

?>

and I am getting this status on my Google analytics page..the status means the analytics is not receiving the Tracking DATA

EDIT : The code which I entered was correct and the issue got resolved automatically after a day and the data is getting tracked now.
