Season 4 of ‘Gullak’ has arrived with many small stories and the problems and happiness of a middle class family.

On the other hand, the elder son of the Mishra family is seeing the scales of his/her job and self-respect falling here and there. In a scene from an episode of season 4, when Annu Mishra’s boss shouts at him/her, who knows how many working people would have felt that scolding on their hearts.

Importance of job for middle class

When it comes to the middle class, everything seems to be at stake. For a common man, the money that comes home is not just a form of Lakshmi, it also contains some grains, some clothes and children’s school fees, or we can say that Lakshmi is hidden somewhere in between all these needs. In such a situation, a job is as important for them as a roof over their head.

It is often said to the employed people that you have been bought on your fixed salary. In such a situation, if you commit a mistake, it is normal to hear about it, but it is not right to tolerate humiliation every time. Considering the financial problems of the family, one can tolerate rudeness once, but it is better to leave the job than to work without self-respect.

Everyone can have different reasons for doing a job. Some do a job in the field to learn business-related information, while others do it to improve their family’s financial situation. If the situation at home is not good, then maybe you can tolerate a little loss of self-respect for the sake of your stomach, but bearing a quick attack can sometimes be harmful.
