Growing Old

  Have you realized how life is going to be when you grow old? While we were young we would be so engrossed in receiving a good education and landing up with a good job. While in job, we are so busy to survive in this world full of competency that we forget to live. In fact so long while we are working our mind is so much occupied with trying to be on the top. While some are good enough to realize and start planning about what they will be doing after retirement. Not everybody gets to enjoy the privilege of pension. Just think for those who work in private companies, corporate companies, for them pension is not at all in the picture. While we are working we try to maintain ourselves just to be good enough in looks in the work environment. We get so accustomed to spending here and there that it becomes hard to survive without it in the later stage. I personally feel it’s always better to start planning ahead well in time and start implementing it also. When I go for walks in the morning and in the evening in our colony area, this kind of thought always runs in my mind. I keep thinking about how life would be when we would become old and what we plan to do.

  Of course apart from being a daughter, sister, family member and a mother, I definitely have certain plans in my mind after I retire. I may want to travel to places I haven’t been before just carrying a small bag-pack. I want to visit the places not for the sake of shopping or anything as such but to see the place there personally, to see the people, to witness their culture. No doubt there will be the part of bringing back souvenir. I may open up a restaurant cum cafe where I would definitely cook the food and bake. I am just a learner in baking but when it comes to food I give my heart out. I love it when people loves my food and cooking. So much things running in my mind yet hard to manage time professionally and personally.

  The future is unpredictable yet there is a positive saying that give your best in whatever you do even it be a small job. When we tend to do anything from the bottom of our heart it definitely gets reflected in our work. And that’s what happens with my food. I cook a variety of food, upload their pictures and try to provide recipes and procedures for making the dish as much as possible. Wonder where we all will be 10-20 years from now. We make plans saying that we will do that, do this but no one is certain of tomorrow. We never know what might happen tomorrow or the next instant I am writing this blog. We have and we make plans for the future but tomorrow is not known. We might wake up in the past or in the future not necessarily be tomorrow. How will we handle the situation?

  We get this life after having changed or gone through approximately 80 previous life before being born as a human. Life is a blessing. We need to be able to balance it. Do what you want to do, what your heart tells you. Words of the famous author Robin Sharma – “Remember when you were born everybody cried in rejoice. Do a kind of deed while alive that when you leave the earth people will remember you and cry rejoicing and praising you for the good deed you did while you were alive.
