Summary of the Lesson
This chapter is about writers confusion about all the activities that are performed in the bank. As he got a raise in his salary, he thought that bank would be the best place to deposit that extra amount every month. So he goes to the bank for opening an account, where he gets confused with the very sight of all the windows in the bank. Still he moves to the ‘Accountant’ window and asks if he could meet the manager because the writer thought that manager will open the account.
The way writer behaved forced the manager to think that he is a C.I.D officer or son of Tata or Birla. But when manager came to know that he will be depositing a small amount of rupees two hundred only every month, he called the accountant to help the writer. The accountant took him to the place where the account opening process was to be done. They asked the writer to fulfill some formalities which made the writer confused and pale. When the whole process of opening the account was over, the writer thought of withdrawing some amount. He was sent to the other person for this purpose.
In confusion, the writer had written the same amount in the cheque what he had deposited in the account. The person on that window was very surprised but the writer insisted that he wanted to withdraw the whole amount. The clerk got astonished. He asked the writer that then why did he open the account even. The clerk asked the writer about the denomination in which he would like to take his money back. When the money was given to the writer and as he left, the writer heard a roar of laughter from inside the bank. And after that the writer never went to the bank for any transaction. He kept his money with himself only.
पाठ का सार
यह पाठ लेखक की घबराहट के बारे में है जो उसे बैंक में घुसते ही सभी गतिविधियों को देखकर होती है। उसकीतनख्वाह में वृद्धि हुई थी, इसलिए उसने सोचा कि बैंक से बेहतर जगह कौन सी होगी जहां वह अपना बड़ा हुआ पैसा हर महीने सुरक्षित रख सके। वह बैंक में खाता खुलवाने जाता है जहां इतनी सारी खिड़कियां देखर घबरा जाता है। तब वह ‘लेखाकार’ वाली खिड़की पर जाकर प्रबंधक से मिलने की बात करता है। वह प्रबंधक से इसलिए मिलना चाहता था क्योंकि उसे लगता था कि वही उसका खाता खोलेंगे। लेखक के अजीब से व्यवहार को देखकर प्रबंधक उसे ब्ण्ण्ण्क अफसर अथवा टाटा बिरला का पुत्र समझने लगते हैं।
मगर जब प्रबंधक को पता चलता है कि वह खाता खुलवाने आया है तो वे लेखाकार को बुलाकर उसकी मदद करने के लिए कहते हैं। लेखाकार उसे उस जगह ले जाते हैं जहां खाता खोलने की प्रक्रिया पूरी की जानी थी। उन्होंने लेखक से कुछ औपचारिकताएं पूरी करने को कहा जिसे पूरा करते हुए। लेखक घबराया हुआ था और उसका चेहरा पीला पड़ गया था। जब खाता खुलवाने की प्रक्रिया पूरी हो गई तो लेखक ने कुछ पैसा निकाल कर देखने को सोचा। इसके लिए उसे दूसरे व्यक्ति के पास भेजा गया जिसने उसे चेक लिखने की मदद की। घबराहट के कारण लेखक ने चेक में पूरी रकम लिख दी जो उसने बैंक में खाता खुलवाते समय जमा करवाई थी। उस खिड़की पर बैठे क्लर्क ने लेखक से पूछा कि क्या वह सच में पूरी रकम निकालना चाहता है। लेखक को अपनी गलती का एहसास को गया परंतु फिर भी उसने क्लर्क से कहा कि वह पूरी रकम निकालना चाहता है।
तब उस क्लर्क ने पूछा कि जब सारी रकम निकलवानी ही थी तो जमा क्यों करवाई। क्लर्क लेखक की इस गतिविधि से चकित रह गया था। फिर उसने लेखक का मजाक उड़ाते हुए पूछा कि वह दो सौ बीस रुपए ही रकम कि नोटों में लेना पसंद करेगा। जब लेखक को उसकी रकम मिल गई तो वह बैंक से बाहर निकला। निकलते हुए उससे जोर से हंसी ही आवाज सुनाई दी। उसके बाद लेखक किसी भी गतिविधि के लिए कभी भी बैंक नहीं गया अपना पैसा अपने पास ही रखने लगा।
