We live only once

We save lot many things in our life many things of elite brands and display it in living room without knowing for what purpose it was purchased. Can you recall one day that you have used the same in your life.

As one of my friends has rightly pointed out in a WhatsApp message whom are you expecting to come to your house so dear to you calling your name to whom you take out your priceless things to be shared.

Whenever the children ask that today is their birthday or grandparents have come, we will use those branded bed sheets or plates etc then we will say why we will take it when some guests come. But can you ever recall a day when somebody has come and we have taken those branded things for use.

We live for tomorrow without living for today. We slog ourselves forgetting to think about ourselves and to be happy also. Daily we read hundreds of quotations but none of them make any impact to us so that we live for the present. We forget our obligations towards our parents which is the happiness of today instead we save for our children (without spending for the parents) who will for sure will be more informative than ourselves and go behind their happiness they understood from their peers.

Facts last forever unlike truths which nobody likes. We all know that we do not live a life which we wanted to. There is no charm with no interactions among the dear and near ones leading oneself to depression. We never understand that our surroundings are changing for the better or for the worse, future prove it. Mechanical we are …that a slightest change in the routine upsets everything.

As somebody said life is , how you design it. If you have choices choose the best and if don’t do the best. So take a decision to live for today, live the day in happiness and decide that today is the day that you were saving for. Forget everything, your illness, stress, strain etc and decide that you will choose the best and do the best to live this day with full of happiness…

There is nothing bigger than our life and live happily for we must believe that we live only once. 

Bank unions reject IBA's 8% wage hike offer

Unions have also rejected the proposal to introduce variable pay, which would be linked to return on assets and operating profit and would be part of the overall wage hike.

The Indian Banks' Association has raised its wage hike offer to 8% from 6% but failed to make bank employees unions happy.The unions have rejected the offer and threatened to go on strike on December 26.

"It is far below our expectation. We have urged upon them to improve their offer," said Rajen Nagar, president at All Indian Bank Employees Association.

Banks saddled with high level of non performing assets and successive quarterly losses would be looking to restrict the rise salaries and remunerations while unions are demanding at least 15% hike like they get under 10th bipartite settlement.

The wage revision by way of 11th bipartite settlement is due from November 1, 2017. Wage revision in public sector banks take place every five years.

Nine unions, under the banner of the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), also demanded wage negotiation for bank employees under scale 1 to 7 while IBA's wage hike offer pertains to employees under scale 1 to 3. The bank lobby group favours bank wise wage settlement for senior employees of scale 4 and above.

Unions have also rejected the proposal to introduce variable pay, which would be linked to return on assets and operating profit and would be part of the overall wage hike.

The unions said the all India bank strike would also highlight their opposition against bank mergers.
