Seven Days Driver

It was the day when our company car driver went for vocation. so there was a need of new driver who will work instead of his place. for this sake, company appointed one new driver for temporary.
As the work load increases, we stayed late in office so after work hour that new appointed driver came and pick up us and reach our destinations respectively.
Today,I stayed back in office after office hours and I was alone in office cause friends never wanna stay back on Friday(cause, its a beginning of weekend:D.)
So as usual he came and pick up me and start driving.
cause of alone, i sit beside that driver.As a curious, I asked him, so you are a new driver.then he replied, Yes sir.
I really felt very embraced when he called me Sir, so as soon as I said hi, Please don't call me sir. I do not like Sir word:D. called me by my name.
Then he said, OK.
later I asked him ,what kind of job you did before this job?
Then he replied,I was working in one pharma company at mumbai but cause of this recession, I lost my job.I was worked in that company for 16 years.
I was as a normal employee but cause of my perfection in work, my boss was very happy with me especially.
but cause of this recession, that company shut off and many lost their jobs. I was one of them.
Cause of my good work record, my boss offered me to work as a driver but not in Mumbai, the working place will be Bangalore.And I did not want to leave mumbai so i rejected that offer and reach pune with family for new work.
So nowadays i doing this kind of casual work but the money is not still enough for family.My kids are very intelligent and I do not want to disturb their education cause of this matter.
He keep talking and I hearing his each word like a story.
Later, he said, I will do any kind of job cause it need and my mother always teach us that, you should never shy to do any kind of work.So I am ready for do any kind of job.nowadays my wife also getting ill cause of this situation.
from tommarrow, I have to search again another job cause I was here instead of permanent driver. your old driver will come on tommarrow.
As we reach near to my home, he said, please see any kind of work for me , preferably in pharma company or as a driver ,if somebody asked you.
I said "Yes for sure".I console him after that.( I just did not know, what to speak with him, who is much older than me and for having such a experience about life.)
I was stunned after hearing his story.
After I left car, i was thinking about how life is such a sensitive? how fragile it is.
It was one of the emotional day within travel.
I will always remember his innocent face.
He was seven days driver for us but last day different.
