Or The FrustraEons of Paying for your 2021 by Bank Transfer As you may or may not know I have been offering those of you interested in purchasing the 2021 to make payment by various ways - one of those ways being by bank transfer. Now, the banks have introduced a fantas4c, all-singing, all dancing system that checks the details of the person/ company you are paying before your money is sent - next thing you know they will be opening places where you can go in and talk to real people. Anyway, over half of you who have tried to send me your payment have had the message that either the account does not exist or that they have a ‘similar’ account and at your risk you can use that one. Well, this was becoming frustra4ng so I called my bank, I was only on hold for 34 hours, but then I managed to ask the Customer Service Advisor (cashier in my day or ‘Till Number 4’) why payers were having trouble, I was asked the following: “Are you sure you gave the payer your correct details?’ Followed by “Maybe they typed your details in incorrectly.” And then, aYer much frustra4on.. “We aren’t finding this to be a common problem.” At which point I escalated my query into a complaint and asked for a Manager - two days later I received a call from ‘said Manager’ who informed me quite quickly that this was an ongoing problem across the new system and the bank would like to apologise for any inconvenience.

According to the Cricket Legend Sunil Gavaskar, success in any vocation requires three Ds: (1) discipline, which is more mental than physical; (2) dedication to hours of practice; and (3) determination. At the Wharton India Economic Forum in Philadelphia, Gavaskar spoke with India Knowledge@Wharton about his career, how the business side of cricket has changed over the years, and what he has learned about teamwork and leadership along the way. Read the excerpt from the original interview. India Knowledge@Wharton: Well, let us start with a very basic question. How did you get interested in cricket? Was it because of your uncle, Madhav Mantri? Sunil Gavaskar: Yes, that was a factor. When you have somebody in your family playing cricket at the highest level, then automatically you do get interested, but I would imagine that a lot of boys in Mumbai would take to cricket simply because cricket is the sport in Mumbai - like hockey in Punjab and maybe football, or soccer, in Kolkata, Goa and Kerala.
