It is quite poignant moment in writing obituary for my ABN AMRO/RBS account

It was opened just like any other account never knowing it would acquire giant proportions

Countless debits every month, but one timely sizeable-credit-replenish would annul all of them

Served me faithfully 12 long years selflessly and a mute spectator of personal and professional gr owth

Has seen rupees , seen dollars and multiple exchange rates only to make me better off

Transacted my house, few fertile lands and barren sites and few years of comfort – you are such an altruistic account

Stood behind me through thick and thin and you grew thicker when I was made to grow thinner, a selfless pal

Just because you were healthy and strong, I was confident to go to tourist places; would not have done otherwise

You were never shy of big ticket payments, school fees, jewellery purchases, family tours, mobile and automobile purchases

You were always there; without you, I would have been reduced to faceless and listless entity

During weekends and long vacations, inner soul was full of piece and piety with impregnable bulwark of your presence.

My signature was otherwise a deranged scribble, but you made it weighty bearer check

Will remember you forever as you gave me lifelong comfort and peace.

I am sure you will resurrect in another form and in another bank to bestow me even greater peace and comfort
