दिल है कि ..

Life doesn't go on conditions with "ifs" and "buts", but 'dil hai ki..!' It always come to my mind, if I had been in NDMC -- would have throughout been in Delhi in Govt flats with no transfers as in Airlines. Had I joined All India Radio, Indore, I would have retired as a Dy Secretary.. would have my many publications by now as against what I was looking for petty translation work @ 50 paise per word in my recent years. At both places, retirement age was 60, against 58 in AI, and both would give a pension of about 40 thousand! Now, in the name of my pension, I am just getting nine thousand per month as interest on my 15L saving under senior citizen investment scheme. Thanks to kids who advised to not mix-up this amount in wedding expenditure. Earlier, it used to be twelve thousand when interest rates were higher. Sometimes, keeping in view son's wedding, we think to look out for a 3bhk apartment at noida extension (by contributing mine 15L, another 15L wife to withdraw from her PF, and 20L son to take as loan) and give this flat on rent of about 15 thousand as my new pension!  However, God is not favouring this plan for the present.
