A Person Battles His Luck

Just sharing 

Rcently, 

I met a long time tuition class mate after almost 20 years. 

His mother was a government employee in my city. Father passed away long before. 

As we met after 20 years, we exchanged pleasantries. Thereafter some life notes. 

His mother passed away few years back. The local administration where his mother worked passed a rule that relatives of the diseased can't work in their place after the latter pass away. 

Hence, the person, all alone, went abroad for a job, did job there for 2 years, came back, shifted to the end of the city and goes for the current job 15 kilometers away.

All he has is himself. No extended family, no other friends. 

A person battles his luck.
