Chapter 10: chapter 10

Vicky - Interesting. But the question is if you are not preparing for the competitive examinations then what are you preparing for? Something you have to do for your livelihood in the future.Aman - Yeah, that’s the problem. I lowered my eyes for about two seconds and began thinking. Seeing the opportunity, Vicky winked at my other friends and they laughed hiding their faces from me. Aman - But that’s not the only reason why I don’t want to see myself in the government job. There is also one more reason. Actually, it’s not a kind of reason. It’s like why I don’t like government jobs. Sanya - Okay. Tell us. Aman - Hmm… It’s not even like telling you. It’s just like I want to express myself. Gagan said slightly in a funny tone, “Okay, my brother. Then express yourself.”Aman - See, Gagan. Why do people want government jobs? Why do students want government jobs? Why do they work day and night to get a government job? Gagan - Because government jobs are secure. One feels safe in a government job. Aman - Safe means? Neha - Safe means that the employer doesn’t throw him out of the job at any time. Aman - Hmm… If I talk about the private sector for a while. Why does an employer throw an employee out of the job? Azeez - When he doesn’t work properly. Aman - Right. When an employee doesn’t work properly or shows negligence in his duties, then an employer throws an employee out of the job in the private sector. But in a government job, even if an employee doesn’t work properly and shows negligence in his duties, he is not thrown out of the job. That’s why we consider government jobs safe. Azeez - Hmm…Aman - Don’t you think I am saying right. Azeez - To some extent, I guess. Aman - Only in very extreme cases, a government employee may get terminated. But in normal negligence of duties, nothing happens to him. That’s why all want to be in government jobs. And there is one more reason. Just think normally why do we want a government job? Sanya - Hmm… because it’s safe. Aman - We have already discussed this reason. Try to think of more reasons. Neha - In government jobs there is less stress. Aman - You told the reality in a very positive appearing cover. The real fact is that people want to see themselves in government jobs because they have to work very less and they will get heavy salaries. They know very well that once they have to work hard, that also for cracking the examination.” “But after getting a government job, they will be able to relax till their last breath. You must have heard parents saying to their children, “Study hard. Only for now you have to study hard. Once you get a job, you will relax and enjoy for the rest of your life.” Haven’t you?”  Gagan - Yeah, I heard. Aman - Means, we study hard, we work hard so that one day we will get cash for free at the beginning of every month. Or say in this way, we want to see a message “70000 rupees have been credited into your bank account”, at the beginning of every month for doing nothing, for being free for the full month. Right? And don’t say that, these things are not happening. Vicky - Well, unique thought. Aman - I hope you all got my point?Neha - Yeah, we understood. Vicky - But the question is still the same. If you are not interested in government jobs, then will you do private job? Aman - I didn’t say that. Azeez - Then what will you do? Aman - I haven’t decided yet. Sanya said as if she was struggling to speak, “Aman, can you bring some water for all of us?”Aman - Yeah, sure. I walked to the kitchen. As I left the room, all burst into laughter at once. Vicky said, “This guy is preaching us and he himself doesn’t even know what to do in his future? Haha!”Sanya - He is not preparing for government jobs, he is not even preparing for private jobs, don’t know what the hell he will do! Haha! He is really stupid!Neha - Actually, he is a cute stupid! Hehe!Gagan - Perhaps, I have become his close friend because of his such stupidities! Hehe!Azeez - This guy is entertaining masala (spices)! Haha!I didn’t hear anything what they were talking behind me. I only heard a loud laughter. I thought, “What happened to them all of a sudden? Perhaps, somebody cracked a joke and I missed it.”The Next DayI had my lunch at about 1pm. I lay on the bed and thought of relaxing. Then one thought crossed my mind, “After having lunch, one should sleep on his left side. It’s good for the digestive system. Food is easily digested.”I turned left and started relaxing. The windows of my house were still open. It was noon time. I was admiring the beautiful sharp sunlight. I thought, “Wow! How amazing the sunlight is! Seeing the sunlight itself is a very good experience. It induces happiness within me. I don’t know why people are running after big luxurious cars, big homes, when we can get happiness just by seeing sunlight.”“Sitting by the side of a river is also a great experience. I know we can’t have a river nearby every home but rain comes to every home. We can enjoy the beauty of rain. And when the rain stops, a certain kind of fragrance comes from the soil. That also induces calmness and happiness in me. And…”Somebody knocked at the door, “Knock! Knock!”I said to myself in a bit of an irritated tone, “Oh, no. Who came to my home at this time? I was feeling so good and he spoiled my moment. Such a beautiful discussion was going on in my head! I wanted to talk to myself for some time more. I don’t need anyone's company at this time! But still, I have to open the door and see who it is.”(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
