Generally, there should not be any
transfer after retirement . But in a particular way , I have one ! I retired
from the Government service before a year. During this period I was at home.
Relaxed ! Relaxed , as there would not be any transfer . While in service, the
fear of transfer was in mind after every sixth year . In every January , the
higher authorities were asking the information regarding the transfers. This
year I had no such fear at all ! In fact, I had nothing to do with this ! Ha,
ha, ha , I was enjoying it this year ! So I was damn relaxed ! But to my
surprise , I had to leave my home town and move to another city. 350 kms away !
The 350 kms are also too much for a person who does not like transfer ! I had
to move there in February but the preparations were started in January, exactly
in the month of calling information of transferable persons in the service. So
I felt like I am still in service and transferred again ! It was again the
January which caused the tensions (this is for those who see it as tension),
though not to the same extent !
JOURNEY TO THE NEW CITY
So
I was transferred even after retirement. Due to some unavoidable circumstances,
my family was moving to the new city. So to established there , my son first
went there and booked a rented flat. He came back and after a week we started
our journey with him to the new city. I booked seats on REDBUS site , which was very much helpful. Few minutes before our departure,
the redbus started to send messages . The messages were coming even after the
completion of journey. Just before the bus started, a 24 hours whatsapp group
was formed , so that the co-passengers could chat with each other. It was
really interesting , so I said hello on the group , but nobody responded
through out the night !
The next morning
The
next morning we reached the new city safely. It was six in the morning. We
stopped for a cup of tea. While my son was booking a Ola cab, a young rickshaw
driver asked about the fare Ola was showing. It was Rs. 269. He said that he
will take one rupee more. The ola cab was not near and we were in a hurry, so
we took the rickshaw . The driver himself put our luggage of 07 bags in the
rickshaw , we sat and reached our destination where the flat was booked. It was
little outside part of the new city. The rickshaw driver again put down the 07
bags himself. We gave him thirty rupees more . He was amazed ! I said just keep
it. He laughed , thanked us and went. We crossed the road , opened the gate and
went to the rented flat on second floor. My son refreshed himself and went to
the new city where his bag was previously kept in friend’s flat.
After that we both also refreshed
ourselves and went downstairs. As we came to the ground floor and were moving
towards the gate, one man crossed us . He was about to keep his foot on the
stairs , I thought that he must be the building owner and asked him by his
name. He responded positively. I gave my recognition to him and he immediately
asked us to come to his flat on the first floor and breakfast with him. I said
that we are going to hotel , but he told us that there will not be any hotel
opened in this early morning. He forcefully took us with him. His wife and
younger son was in the room. His wife quickly made kande pohe and tea and
gave it to us. The family was so nice that we sat there for an hour and talked
as though we were familiar for years ! Then we went to our flat . In the after
noon our son came . After an hour after that , we went to the market to take
lunch and to do the shopping. It was a nice day ! In the next day, the building
owner’s younger son , who was looking after flat matters, called us in his
flat. My son had given half amount of deposit before and we gave the remaining
half amount on that day. There was an agreement maker also present and he
processed the online agreement procedure. After two days we got the final print
of that agreement and the process of taking a flat on rent was completed. The owner’s younger son also completed the police
verification procedure.
Residing story starts
In this building there are
five flats. Two on the ground floor , one on the first floor where the building
owner resides and two on the second floor. We are on the second floor in flat
No. 5. Our neighbor in flat No. 4 is a nice young man of my son’s age. He has
helped us since the day we have arrived here. He , his wife and daughter are his
family members. His daughter is only two and half months old. He does service in whirlpool company as a
Mechanical Engineer. You can read whirlpoolsuccess story here . Last
night the younger son of the building owner called us to his flat for a
birthday celebration. It was a birthday of his father’s classmate. It was a
nice program and we enjoyed it a lot. When you are away from your home you need
such programs to relax a bit. The story
