HIS NEW ASSIGNMENT


He unburdened himself
by dumping the heavy
weight over his
shoulders on the floor
and heaved
a deep sigh of relief.
He quit his present
job when a
reputed institution
lured him with a new assignment
which offered
better career prospects
and a lucrative salary
and other facilities.
He bid adieu to
his co-workers and
friends to accept
the new assignment
which served as
a magnet to him.
He left the rented
house he was residing
since a longtime
to a spacious bungalow
to spend his days which is
provided with all
amenities, thanks to
his new institution.
For him work was
a challenge once
proximity of his
co-workers a source of
energy and strength
the more the work-load,
the more delighted he
was once upon a time.
Now that he feels relaxed
the pressure of yester years
a thing of the past
the offer of a 
lucrative assignment came
his way
promising better
career prospects
lucrative salary plus perks
the royal style of living
impressed him like anything.
And in the office  
not much work came his way
only to sign some papers
prepared by his subordinates
ample time for relaxation
no wonder
he feels like
he is in paradise.
One thing  that misses
him badly is the
proximity of his
co-workers
one thing he
apprehends is
whether boredom
like a haunting nightmare
would follow him shortly.
With nothing to do
except signing papers
whether this paradise
might turn into
a hell in due course?
He mulls…..
