The best part is that here quarters have 24 hour uninterrupted power supply that makes living easy in this hot summers. My branch manager Sir is a very nice person and maintains a friendly relation with his employees. In the coming two weeks I will be to under a short training that will train me to handle customers and bank functioning in a proper manner. I am enjoying this new phase of my life. Hope to see a letter from you soon.

Your loving son,
Somesh
