Lovable Retirement

 Retired from Government Service 

I have retired from Government Service on 30.11.2018 . Thirty three years' service ended . It was nice to serve the people from the government office. Few things look very different from that angle . It was easy to contact the people and discuss about their problems, work or difficulty . It was my most preferred area of work . I have always been looking forward to make the people satisfied by giving them the necessary support. Fortunately I was in educational institution . A well known government technical education institute in our state. One of the oldest institute in state too ! Established in 1961 . I was borned in 1960 . Immediately after that the institute was established. Nobody knew then , that after 25 years , I will be serving there . 

Miles away from home

As an educational institute , there were obviously students who came to learn . They came there to become engineers . Many of them were coming from a longer distance . Miles away from home made them homesick and few of them even tried to leave the education ! Their parents became helpless and worried . Few of the parents came to me and told me that they are confused and could not take a decision . Even few were coming with an application demanding leaving certificate . Such situations were really really unfortunate ! I always talked with the students and after few minutes they started to give response that I was expecting . I tried to make them assure , balance , calm and cool and rethink about their decision to leave the institute . Few people even cried , few were not responding at starting . Few were speechless .Few were determined to leave. But I tried my best at every time . After I talked with them in very easy, loving and friendly tone they were calm down . At least , prepared to listen to me carefully . They listen and I talked . After few minutes, the students were saying that they wanted to rethink their decision . Few of them even smiled clearing their tears . I used to talk to the parents and make them feel better, assured and comfortable . While talking I even made few jokes , so the students and the parents ease themselves and come out of the problem . Even I had given few basic solutions and ways for the smooth stay here for the students. That helped a lot . People always want practical help than only sympathetic words . I was lucky that I did provide both ! Many of the students who wanted to have their leaving certificate immediately and to go their hometown , changed their mind and learned . They completed their course of three years successfully . Some of them even got distinction grade ! They used to come to me with smile on their faces . Their parents accompanying them with the same smile and satisfaction on their faces , thanking me . I was happy to serve such students and their parents .
