Life has its own ups and downs. At
times we feel everything is settled but does it actually settle. After working
for several years with an organization, I thought that the final achievement is
done.
I started working as a Company
Secretary in a new company and I made a new friend in the new Office. Everything
ran smooth till the management had not taken a decision to move tha factory
somewhere else out of Kolkata.
The staffs of the Kolkata region
had a thought that the turmoil is temporary and everything will soon settle
sown. But we were wrong. The time ran and spread its claws taking all the
little happiness that we had.
On my side, I was devastated. I
lost my job at the time when huge amount of responsibility was piling up. I was
about to get married and on the other hand my home loan was struck due to loss
of my job. After a lot of struggle and after about fourteen interviews, I
cracked a job. I was happy but the fact that dwelled in my mind that whether I
am actually happy or not.
In the meantime, my colleague had
not got any job. Honestly speaking, she had not even tried for it. I tried to
explain her lot of times that why a job is important. But her World was struck
around the knot of marriage. She seemed to hear the facts and little did she
listen to whatever I said.
I started working in this new
office and thankfully the scattered pieces of life had fallen to place. I had
slowly started living my life. On other hand now my friend cum colleague often
tried to create a lot of confusions in my mind. She showed that she was
concerned for my well being but actually she tried to find faults and drawbacks
in my present office and the previous office.
I had always regarded my
colleague her as one of the best person who understands and depicts situations
well. But with the time moving on I realized that she was not very happy when I
had achieved peace and a bit of well-being. She always complained about her life
and compared my life to hers.
Honestly speaking I was at a much
better condition due to my own efforts. Further she could afford to spend her
life sitting at home where I was compelled to earn.
About 8years back, I lost my
father and therefore the financial crisis had started from 2008 itself. I could
never explain this particular trauma of financial insecurity to my this friend
who by God`s grace dint suffered a bit even.
People around are never happy if
peace prevails in your life while they have a certain amount of satisfaction
when suffering causes the mental turmoil. I don’t know about my this friend
that what exactly is her thought process .But what I can sense is that she
wants to believe and make me also believe that the previous office was a better
place and make me go through a mental turmoil again.
Life…..a great
teacher..!!
