According to my own saying
"Not all bad things will be an end or disruptive ... some might be the
beginning of a good thing that is yet to come"
It was not a day as usual for
Robert Frost... he was called into a room with couple of executives from the Human
Resource department of the company where he works at Uster, Switzerland;
According to the global meltdown of the industry due to so called technology innovation/automation/artificial intelligence, lot of jobs being no longer relevant and one among those jobs was Robert's;
With the tight face slightly red
for a white man, John and Graphel gently started the conversation with Robert.
It was like 5 minutes... Robert got it all and have a clear hold about the
moment.. signed few papers... checks handed over to him that covers his next 6
month without any paychecks.
That's it. he is now all set to
walk out of the company where he spent his good 22 years and today all he have
is a check that covers his next 6 month!... does it really matters to a man who is
on his 50's? maybe not! Yes, Robert is expecting this moment and kinda prepared
to face it! nothing beats the reality... wow what a moment to experience
something that you were imagining so long!
It was a lovely evening back in
Uster, Switzerland. Pleasant breeze, soothing weather and the streets were
looking so meant to walk...Robert is on the road walking towards his home. Hope Tristina Wright will take it
normal and she can manage the situation very well. may be few extra expenses
need to be cut down, but that is alright..
Robert and Tristina first met at
Heidelberg University, Germany back in 1991 when they were doing their masters in
Finance. Back then they were the only students from Switzerland... from the
first day, they had good connect.. when days went on they both felt to be a
perfect partner... Robert proposed, Tristina accepted and it all went by for 26
years now..
Robert and Tristina sat on the
dinner table for the special soup made out of oyster, which is a special dish
that Tritina usually makes. Robert loves to have oyster soup with thick bread;
Slowly Robert disclosed the important message and the check to cover his next 6
month... Silence for a while... "why don’t you pursue your research
hobby" said Tristina.. all confused Robert looked at her and raised the
eye brows "what do you mean hobby..".. Tristina immediately said
"Project Vishnu... do you still have that urge feel like in old days to pursue your research on
it?"... Robert was all amazed about Tristina memory... Project
Vishnu is a research he was passionately into back in 2000 and did not get much
time to pursue more on that... "that is a good idea!" all excited
Robert now enjoying even more on the oyster soup with Thick bread!
