Fast Changing Landscape before Our Eyes

Tweet

21 years have passed after I came to serve in this charitable institution FAMILIA. Oh what changes have come about during this period of time! Many colleagues have gone away from here. Some have also died. The founder director has retired and now is bed ridden. His wife is lifted up to that chair of honour. However, his son- in - law runs the institute. The character of the institute has changed in many ways. Also the outward landscape is undergoing huge transformation. The school conducted by our society has grown to a four storey building. The road in front has been widened. And for the last three years a flyover is being built in front of the school gate. Great progress around us is unmistakably visible . Yet, something is making me melancholic. What is that which is making me feel so? Loss of old friends or old ways I was comfortable with ? Or anything else?
