Last month we read about 'Sailors Dilemma' heres an article which is dedicated to Goan NON-RESIDENT EMPLOYEE....Gulfies/tarvotis...
Regards Edward Verdes Chinchinim/KSA The non-resident employee shortly called as NRE is always focussed on the higher pedestal of mind in the society. He is the envy of his neighborhood back home. Everybody, thinks of and dreams about the financial part of him but his physical and mental strains remains unnoticed. So welcome to know about the world of people working abroad. What is an NRE’s dream? The poor NRE has a lot in his mind dreaming for the future of his family and at the most thriving and striving for a house of his own. What does an NRE think as an achievement? The happiness in his family through his sweat, is always an achievement for him. How does an NRE counsel himself ? Years together he is away from the family for the betterment .His sacrifice towards life is unaccountable. Unlikingly just because of money that matters, he suits for the working environment,counting the days for his vacation by crossing the days on the calendar. What are the perceptions of an NRE ? Everytime he goes for the vacation, he feels the longingness of the family, the golden moments, the flirting festivities and the so-called occasional occasions he had missed and the family which had missed him on the above. Does an NRE think that it is a braindrain for his country ? Definitely, he thinks. He wants to be an Indian by feelings, even abroad. The commitments and financial expectations are the only criteria which had dragged him abroad. If his country could provide him these,what is the necessity for him to trot across the globe. What are his physical and mental strains ? He has equal amount of physical & mental strains. He has to change his mind set totally to cope up with the newer environment abroad. Tension surmounts his potential capabilities & possibilities.As he is away from home he has to manage everything miles away. But still he always appears with a smile. Nobody knows or hears the shrill cry inside him. What are the obstacles contributing his dilemma in staying back ? Every NRE more or less leaves with a maximum confidence and minimum bank balance .He feels that the Cheque leaves will do the job for him. But as the balance becomes thinner the confidence, the ambition of staying back, everything diminishes and the journey for a job abroad continues…. His diversified life style and the fear in maintaining it is also another reason. And yet, he thinks to settle back . A day will come to celebrate the pride of embracing the motherland. A day will come for him to say a Goodbye ! to his PASSPORT. He himself and his family is expecting the dawn of hopes and horizons to come. But , “when” is the ? So next time when you come across an NRE , rather than envying him, share his feeling of : SACRIFICE PAINS LONELINESS DEDICATION COMMITMENT - author Dunnowho
