THEN & NOW

Friend,
I shouldn’t have befriended you.
Even otherwise, we were familiar.
Remaining familiar
was/is sufficient and more.
In these days
in this mobile world
one is always on the run
looking for better career prospects
hence nobody remains
rooted at the same place.
Jobs vary, institutions vary
hence we keep on running
seeking better prospects
from place to place. 
One day bidding  goodbye 
leaving you alone with a heavy heart
I boarded a train to a faraway place
on getting a new career,
a better career in a
renowned institution which
offered attractive emoluments, a higher post,
better comforts and with no pre-conditions. 
One day
you would also move to
another place, another institution 
a reputed one, of course.
In our life, either you
or I could meet you once again, God willing.
Mobility is the hallmark
the world over and
unlike those old days
when our predecessors
prayed to God for not
transferring them
to another place
where they were
previously working.
Now that old days 
have departed
with the flow of time.
More and more institutions
have spread,
infrastructure developed
and invited more and more job seekers
and they are willing
to take up more and 
more  assignments which
attract better remuneration
accommodation and other facilities.
Money is power

friendship for namesake…….
