My first post

I am new to the blogging world. My sons tell me it is important to have a blog these days. It is some kind of personal identification!

In our youth we were told to not expose our thoughts to all and sundry. But nowadays one’s thoughts need to be all out for everyone to see or read. Vast changes from what we have grown up with. But change is inherent.

After retirement there is not much to do, metaphorically speaking. In daily life there is quite a bit to do. But everyone assumes that you are old and there is nothing else left to do. I don’t believe in this thinking. My late father retired from work but was active till the very end. I also want to be active and not be dependent. And be free to do to whatever I want. My wife has always supported me and I tell my wife that now is the time to sit back and enjoy.

Having a blog was my younger son’s idea. He told me, “baba, you should do something that you have never done”. So here I am blogging! I don’t have any agenda, maybe I will ramble on, maybe I will write something which will be interesting, I don’t know. I am starting a new journey with the hope that it will be enjoyable.
