A page from my Autobiography...!!

....yes, just forty more days to retirement!”, I screamed. It again took me back, as usually happens with me in my dreams, to the ocean of worries. Again...I was thinking in my dreams that I had contributed a lot to make my organization grow leaps and bounds and was one of the most valued incumbents of the organization. I had always enjoyed my work hours at the premises. But then, looking back, standing at the extreme of one of the stages of my life...I felt that I hadn't contributed much towards the society which I am a part of, whose resources I had used to contribute towards the nourishment of my organization, to whom I am actually obliged. The concern really took a toll on my mind. I was being proved obsolete for the organization (I felt that). The people I talked to, about this, laughed at me. They used to reply, "The society is full of people acting sometimes miserable, other times despaired, trying to find meaning in freedom in alcohol and cacophony (they call it loud music). They ran away from themselves and found respite in strangers. Why waste your time and efforts for those who actually are not worth it? Rejuvenate your energies, Gather your enthusiasm and see...how vast a world within 'our world' (the organization) is looking upon you." But my focus for the coming days of leadership was defined at that very moment. I had to do something...something which could be done to give back to the society which it deserved or moreover which I was obliged to do. And suddenly I saw golden rays peeping through the window...was it my determination or was it a new morning ???
