Rest in Peace: Chaitanya Tallur

All my staff should come happily to office, work happily forgetting worries of home and leave happily at the end of the day. If any one of them leaves with a sad face, then he or she will be served a Memo. This was one of the many popular, loud and witty quips of Shri Chaitanya M Tallur, 52, our colleague and AGM (GBU), Bangalore, LHO, who passed away a fortnight back, battling an 18-year long saga of kidney transplanted life.

Meeting and talking to a human dynamo like him was always an immensely joyful and fulfilling experience. Anyone could go and meet him to download their worries, and he would gently and smoothly lift the spirits with his downto-earth positive talk, and upload the person with infinite energy and direction!! Such was his power of counselling and charisma. And we banker colleagues, who are always a tired, busy and harried lot needed, in good measure, de-stressing and relaxation, every now and then. So, our man for all occasions, Chaitanya was always there to connect with whether personally or

through mobile instrument. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He would pack humour, ideas, anecdotes, insights into the working style of our colleagues in the bank and people around, and even the harshest of realities would be articulated in the simplest and the sweetest of ways. He not only used to engage others but also involve, encourage and galvanise them to action.

Chaitanya Tallur, for many of us colleagues, till his death was a living testimony of what one can achieve if one had ceaseless zest for life, limitless enthusiasm for channelising his own and his colleagues energies for the cause of Bank and enhance the quality of lives of colleagues. Take this example of his innovative initiative of green banking. He converted the barren compound surrounding the AGMs bungalow and adjoining the sprawling Mangalore Main Branch into a kitchen garden. One section of the garden was named after a lady staff, who met with untimely death. Rainwater Harvesting was introduced which not only served the garden but also the requirements of keeping the office premises and washrooms, spic and span. Organic Waste of Kitchen was segregated and used as manure for kitchen garden. Agriculture customers liberally donated the best of their organic manure from their farms to nurture the garden. And the customers, in turn, were given back nutrient-rich fresh tomatoes and leafy vegetables, instead of sweet boxes on certain special occasions. When the popular District Commissioner of the District was transferred, he was felicitated with a green basket full of home grown vegetables. Little wonder then the popular daily The Hindu wrote in an appreciative article titled Reap more than what you sow, that SBI has taken banking beyond money.

Chaitanya Tallur always bristled with new ideas and unbundled them like an trained magician as much as you needed them. During his probation days, he took upon himself a project of chronicling success stories of small time entrepreneurs in backward districts instead of choosing a run of the mill citycentric project. In his last branch, the customers who visited the busy ATM Centre attached to the Mangalore Main Branch with 8-10 ATMs in it, had not only the pleasure of receiving crisp notes, but also had a chance to pause and

watch the eye-pleasing blown up sized photos of the city and its verdant surroundings, clicked by the reputed local photographers. The photos were chosen by local media colleagues in a special nature photography contest sponsored by the Bank. Needless to say, SBI always got a good coverage in the local press in the bargain.

Banking for banking sake was not Tallurs belief. Enjoy the banking activity we do, give delight to customers and the business will naturally flow was his mantra. And the business flowed and roared wherever he went. Be it a new branch at a distant Rajarajeshwari Nagar in Bangalore in 1996 or the Mangalore Main branch in 2010, when it crossed the landmark figures of Rs.1,000 crores when he was at the helm. And he never had the time to think of promotions in his career. His initials of the name being C.M, he used to joke that he is a permanent Chief Manager (CM) in the Bank!!. For years he refused promotions to AGM rank on health grounds, but when finally he was forced by his well-wishers to attend the interview, it was a simple cakewalk.

Another example of Tallurs love for colleagues was, on one of our annual Bank Days, he arranged for a whole movie theatre to be booked, and sent complimentary passes for family of State Bank Retirees (pensioners) to a special screening of some old hit movie along with liberal dose of snacks or high tea. That was Chaitanya Tallur, innovative and different, expressing love and respect, for the elderly colleagues in the evening of their lives, who perhaps have as much legitimate stake in the present success and glory of our Bank as do the present lot.

It may be a sheer coincidence that the first three letters of his first name Chaitanya are same as that of other inspirational words like Charm, Change, Charismatic, Charity, Challenge. He had all these traits embedded in

his DNA. His leading from the front and motivating style was as natural and spontaneous as the many gentle rivers that flowed in the region he hailed from - South Kanara District of Western Coast, Karnataka. He wanted everyone be it our staff or their family members, be it our customers, be it contracted employees- to enjoy banking minutes they spend in the Bank. And he lived by example. Not a protocol driven person, he as an AGM-Head of Mangalore Main Port Road branch with its glorious 144-year history, would simply walk out of his huge palatial chamber, sit in an unpretentious style in the main banking hall, talking to all and sundry, with wit and humour, with empathy and ready-pack solutions on hand. In fact, one among his many popular one-liners was You are most welcome to meet me, only if you have problems. May be having had seen one giant health problem pass by in his life, at the young age of 34 in the garb of transplanted kidney in his body, all other problems for him looked tiny, passable and addressable. Not the one to live wallowing in self pity for the doses of medicines he had to live with, Chaitanya Tallur, on the contrary used to spread ample doses of positivity, enthusiasm, and energy all around. People close to him believe that perhaps, that was his way and solution to face the life square on braving the odds. Doctors generally say that with a transplanted kidney, a person can expand his life span by 10 years, but Late Tallur extended it to 19 years by dint of his sheer will power and love for life and for human beings around. And in no less measure, he was extremely blessed to have a very supportive and understanding family of wife and two daughters. Of course, a legion of colleagues, friends, relatives, fans and admirers, well-wishers, inside and outside the Bank were always there at his beck and call for any assistance. Not the least of all, it should be remembered here that the top SBI Management team at Bangalore Circle, was always there to rally behind him to sail through medical bureaucracy and running around.

Colleagues who knew Chaitanya Tallur from his college-going days recollect that he was a born leader, fired up always with meaningful, innovative and implementable ideas. Even then, he was dynamic and untiring in all the endeavours he pursued. Perhaps, the ill-health at the early stage of his life only hastened the consciousness or Chaitanya in him to inculcate a sense of urgency to complete the countless creative agendas he had set for himself, so that he could achieve all that he could, in whatever shortened or curtailed life he was destined to live with. And the range of Community Services Banking he adopted is simply mind-boggling. Whether it is recognising the traditional folk art form of tiger dance, whether it is sponsoring Goshalas or

Areca nut plantation literature, whether it is picnics for members of the staff, whether it is arranging for tying Rakhis for differently-abled children, his concern and commitment was total. And like Pied Piper, he could rally his colleagues together for good causes and create a sense of fulfilment among them too.

And the pinnacle of his concern for humanity unfolded when the Mangalore Air India crash tragedy occurred near around three years ago. He stitched together a team of colleagues, networked with the district administration, and opened an emergency help line. People in the city could not believe that banks, who otherwise had a staid image in the City, can be so proactive and prompt to go beyond the call of duty and to do whatever that we could do to serve the society that we live in and to nurture pride in our country. Does this sound something like some excerpts from the Mission and Value Statements of the Bank? Well, for Late Chaitanya Tallur Banks Vision, Mission and Value Statements were not mere empty and sullen words displayed on the walls. He had embodied them for long as an integral part of his life. Looking, that way, he was a quintessentially a born State Banker.

So, to wish an inherently restless creative soul like Chaitanya Tallur, a formal Rest in Peace would be not in the fitness of things. But then we ordinary mortals can only pray the way we can for immortal souls like Chaitanya Tallur, who has left behind a rich treasure of sweet memories. For many of his colleagues, the very thought of him, can brighten the darkest of our moods and enliven our spirits. So Chaitanya will always be there for us. Blessed are we to have been associated with him. He would not have likened our moist eyes and heavy heart when he passed away. May be the best tribute to him would be to imbibe a few traits of his and create a bank or library of his innovative ideas, which was not only visualized but also successfully implemented. This perhaps would serve as a ready resource reckoner for new implementable ideas for pursuing by other colleagues. And without any qualms, IMITATION CAN BE THE BEST FORM OF FLATTERY AT LEAST IN LATE CHAITANYA TALLURS CASE.
