Retiring Gently, Not Abruptly
How do you want to retire? I don’t want to retire when I’m tired. I want to retire when I’m ready. Full, not finished. I think about retirement sometimes. Not in spreadsheets or pension plans—but in colours and feelings. I don’t want to retire because a calendar says so. Or because the world has decided…

After spending so many years with her Aniruddh still was not able to understand this woman. She had issues. He was a pragmatic man. Working hard for his family, loved his kids, took care of his home. His wife was just his wife. He didn’t have any special feelings for her but he did care…

The long walk….. from anger to happiness
Anger is a futile emotion. It does nothing for you, just burns your heart and makes you cry for revenge. All those endless hours of plotting and saying the right things that should have been said. All the pent-up emotion an a seething rage which is more often than not impotent. Impotent because nothing can…
