It was a strange evening I have had so
far. Being a administrator in a corporate company is a tough job
though – I used to think like this at times. The earlier day I have
had got a call from one of my subordinate so close to me asking for
an off day. His father was not feeling well it seemed. I was always
conscious of my duties and responsibilities in all ways. They often
acted as masks one of which I have to wear at one time and another at
in some other situation. This time the call was from him related to
my duties as an administrator of my office. In a small authoritative
voice I said “Please look into the matter that you arrive back soon
within two days”
This day he called to my office and
informed his friend, my another subordinate that his father is no
more. When he informed me of this thing, the day looked so strange
for me. What is all this duty consciousness, even without
understanding this reality in life am I living the right way? Do I
have to be really duty conscious when there is no certainty in life?
What is it actually to live? What is it to be happy? Why I mean to be
so strict as an officer but I struggle hard to reason myself as a
man? Lot of questions arouse in my mind and made me silent for the
day. That night grew up very long and my silence was broken with
phone call of that another subordinate who received the call. It was
clear that his voice is broken so as is his heart. I wanted him to
join with me in the dinner. I got prepared myself to face him and the
weariness he had thinking myself that the universal abundance will
help in facing and answering him.
My silence was broken during that meet
with his weeping eyes, rolling tears and broken voice.
He: Sir, what is it this life sir?
Me: Why do you get that question my
friend now?
He: You know sir, he called today two
times, first time right half an hour before the last call, he said
his father is okay and they are moving to a bigger hospital. But
within the next thirty minutes the whole scenario changed. And so
what is it this life all, so uncertain.
Me: Uncertainty is universal principle
don't you know that and now my question is whether do we have to
really cry or shed tears for knowing this?
