Sitting in the Dharmatalla ground of Kolkata, Akash was thinking about watching the boys playing in front of him. Sometimes he also used to come to this ground to play cricket. How good were the days of school and college, no responsibility? Whenever I wanted, I spread my hands in front of my parents. 

Pocket money was available for the expenses and there was no compulsion to save. He remembered when he got his first salary from his first job. Then he bought himself an expensive mobile and a state-of-the-art laptop from his second salary. Third to the expensive camera. 

Papa had advised him, 'Akash, learn to save. But he wanted to spend the money he earned on himself. He used to spend lavishly on branded clothes, and tourism. After eating food in an expensive restaurant, after two-three months, father hesitantly said, 

' Son, I have taken a loan for your degree, I have to pay the installments for the house too, can you help? 'New job and satisfaction of ego by giving' Sure Papa, I will put ten thousand in your account every month. ' He promised and kept putting money in his account every month, but now there is no job, no salary.

I sat for my job and failed due to leaving the job. He thought that he would serve for five years. After getting experience, he will leave the job and do an MBA. He has always seen his father struggling. Eating in big restaurants, watching movies in multiplexes, traveling in big cars, traveling and buying branded clothes, and expensive mobiles all seemed a waste of money to them. 

While he did not consider it as a way of living, he had decided that he would spend two years in ash and two years in savings, but his calculations failed when after two and a half years there was a layoff in a loss-making company, and one day he also received a thank you letter. It has been spoken. On hearing that he had lost his job, his father asked him to come to Kolkata. 

He reached here in the morning itself. Papa wanted to talk to him but he is avoiding them. He knows that there will be some concerns, some advice, and some preaching in his words. That's why I come after roaming around a bit. ' Came here after saying. It was getting dusky in the evening. 

He got up and walked towards Park Street. Park Street is a sight to behold during Christmas. When I reached there walking on foot, my mind was relieved.
