On 1 March
2019, I completed 6 years of retired life. It has been great. It has been a
stress free life with no office, no meetings, no follow ups, no project dead
line, no Six Sigma or SWOT analysis. Wake up from bed at will and spend the day
on your own terms. There is no interference from anyone. Nobody calls you ad
odd hours to take care of something “very important”.
During this
period, I have been honoured with three Lifetime Achievement Awards, - in the
from of three cute grandchildren, by God Almighty.
There is a
perception that you do not make new friends after a certain age. This has been
proved wrong in our case. We met a lot of like-minded people after retirement
and became very close friends. The residential complex which is our home at the
moment, is thriving with warmth and friendship. The community welcomed us with
open arms. We met people from all walks of life and exchanging our life stories
has been an exciting and enlightening experience.
We have
been travelling a lot since retirement having covered plenty of exotic holiday
destinations in India and around the world.
The only
challenge now is to stay fit and healthy. My daily routine consists of an
hour-long brisk walk in the morning and occasional preventive trips to health
clinics. So far so good!
Cheers and
best wishes to all.
