MESSAGES FOR 65+ YEARS

Tuesday, 10th November 2020

 I asked one of my friends who has crossed  " 65 & is heading to 75" What sort of change he is feeling in him?

He sent me the following very interesting lines, which  I would like to share with you guys .


70+ years now : Jayarama Soomayaji, Jayarama Shetty, Ramachandra Somayaji, Padmanabha Sahasra, Ramachandra Aithal (College Mates)

1) After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now  I have started loving myself.

2) I just realised that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3) I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. After all, a few Rupees more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

4) I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile on his face. After all he is toiling much harder for a living than me

5) I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past.

6)  I have learnt " not to correct people even when I know they are wrong ". After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7) I give compliments freely & generously. After all it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me.

8) I have learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.

9) I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do.

10) I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race. After all, I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

11) I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.

12)  I have learnt that its better to drop the " ego than to break a relationship."  After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone.

13)  I have learnt to live each day as if it's the last. Plesse enjoy every day .

14) I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me.


I decided to keep it my blog, because why do we have to wait for so long, why can't we practice this at any stage and age...
