  Days are numbered… “So uncle, your days are numbered”, the little school boy chuckled me. Yes my days in NTPC is numbered. To be precise in just another 120 days run and then it will come to a halt. My name will be adjunct as ‘Ex” NTPC, Ex-employee, Ex.. whatever it is. I am no longer in NTPC. My regular service will be end with that tag. I remember in 2021 April when one of our colleague died of heart attack just the previous night, and he was brought home to complete the last rite, everybody even the near & dear ones addressing him “body”, “keep the [photo courtesey  Internet]  body in the front room”   etc. Overnight the man who is a father or a husband or a brother becomes just a body – a lifeless body! Therefore, I will be an ‘ex’ just after the penultimate day and then there wont be any look back! May be some calls will still be pouring in unknowingly but the moment they come to know that I’m ‘ex’, they will edit my number carefully to prefix an ‘ex’ me...
