Summary, etc. The novel winds through lives of people to point out how vacancies happen and how they are filled. The stories appear to resemble those of our own friends and relatives but none of them are biographies of any living or dead person. They are only imaginary episodes woven into fictional compositions to produce an impact on the minds of readers to regard this world as a continuous machine of decay and death followed by renewal and rejuvenation.The story is an attempt to place before the readers how retirement affects men and women. Ancient Indians have divided life into four phases; the learning phase, the earning phase, the benefit phase and the transfer phase. The learning phase lasts from birth to adulthood. The earning phase begins from late adolescence to the time we retire from service and business. The benefit phase lasts until we decide to wind up our activities. The transfer phase starts when we like to give away our possessions and prepare for death. Vacancy occurs in our family and in the fields we seek position to learn, earn, benefit and transfer. In every walk of life the vacancy that is created has to be filled for the world to go on. The society renews itself along with Nature. Some vacancies are filled in the natural course while our active participation fills others. The most glaring vacancy is death of a person. Some one living has to fill the vacancy caused by death. Other vacancies occur by abandonment, which forces us to redesign the vacancy. Divorce is one such vacancy. Laws of nature rule many vacancies while rules made by men facilitate other vacancies
