It was a very hot morning in the city when I went to the vegetable market. An old man of about 70 years was buying something when I reached that shop. Generally, I do not talk to strangers but he was just the opposite. He started telling how the children nowadays don't understand the problems of their old parents. It is such hot outside but the young son is sleeping in the bed while he is here for marketing. I said, "you must have brought him up with a lot of love".
"Oh no, it is his mother. She won't let him do even a small work. He has joined the service of Judicial Magistrate. What justice will he do in the court while he is doing injustice right in the home to me". I was startled at his displeasure with the son. Then he himself informed me how his son was an average student and he advised him to prepare for the entrance exam for the law colleges. The son anyhow competed but the name was in the waiting list. At last, his admission was in the law college at Vishakhapattanam. After the completion of law, he appeared in the Judicial Magistrates examination and was successful.
Now I asked about him, "from which service you retired?"
He said that he was in the most reputed government investigation agency. The pressure was so high there that it was not tolerable to him. He fell into depression and decided to take the VRS. Now he was enjoying the retired life but he has to run for small things and the son does not help. His purchase at the shop was over and went away.
I thought one cannot be tension free in life, be it in service or after retirement.
