Friends............

It has been just a quarter since Fufaji got retired and he is already missing the bank. Fufaji worked in same bank 40 year, bank has become his identity. He has been following same routine since last 40 years and now suddenly it is gone He is feeling empty. Fufaji is his beloved name given by his bank colleagues, he has retained it to keep feeling belonged to bank. Without bank he has lost his identity. Fufaji's real name is Jirendra. Fufaji has now moved in with his son to spend more time with him after death of his wife. His son is married and has one daughter. Fufaji thought it would be great to live with son but he is living constrained, he doesn't like that. Now fufaji wants his own space. In son's house they have their stuff ans settlements as their need. Fufaji is in look out for new things to do. Now he doesn't know what is he going to do next, Fufaji is lost. It has come to a point where now fufaji doesn't know what is life without bank. Bank has been everything for him all his life. Bank has been part of all important events of his life. Bank helped him to survive loss of his wife. And now bank is no more. He goes to park, plays with son's daughter. But he doesn't feel happy. Soon he starts to become very irritated, annoyed. He gets angry in to small small things. 

Fufaji is a very active and a planned man. He doesn't like uncertainty and living constrained and now since he is living with his son he doesn't feel having freedom. 'Why am I making me live like this When I have all the time and resources to live like the way I want.' He gathers all of his colleagues from bank. They all have a reunion after 6 months. All are talking about their lives after retirement. They all had one thing in common 'We miss bank. it is not at all joyous. We all have become such one big group. We are living with our family but we don't enjoy now we crave to live with people we like and enjoy with' they all had same thing to say. Fufaji was silently listening to all this. He jumped up and shouted 'Shhhh.... Guys Shhhhh.... shouldn't we all live together at one place. We will rent apartments and all will live together. We will live last years of our lives smiling, joking making fun and everything. Why do we need to give ourselves hard times by living with family on their terms when we can live the way we want we have our retirement funds. We have done enough hard work and lived for others now it is our times to live for ourselves. We don't need to be assistants to our sons in handling their kids. We will rent a house and name it friends. Last night I was watching this series all young aspirants who wanted to earn their bread, who aspired to make their name, make their identity were living together as They all were sharing same stories. They were having successes and laughs. It becomes really easy for them to mingle. Here we all are oldies we are dealing with same feelings we should also live together and have gala time' 

Everybody agrees Fufaji rents two apartments and he and all his colleague friends live together. We will keep a robot for us who will work for us. We will travel places go on dates. I really had liked Gita but she was all the time gushing about her husband. So I never proposed her. Fufaji and his friends have decided but what about getting permitted from their families. They were obviously denied. But Fufaji and his friends any how lived together. They formed a band called 'Bank'. They wrote all songs about moments from bank.
