Choices in Life-

REFLECTIONS AT 72
CHOICES

Life as  a Happy go Lucky person is best---but that is also an Attitude of genetics and Upbringing--Being too stern or stiff has no benefits, the world itself will walk away; leaves you standing alone. The trouble is in many families Happy go Lucky was seen as Hopeless,  never understanding Happiness is our final Goal really.
 In Gita in Sanskrit it is" Prasanna Chetasah"

WE  are free to make choices.....
WE make choices and accept  the consequences of our choices .

Was thinking of this from a line in a novel by Neville Shute in "Checker Board." when the British Air force Pilot Phillip Morgan is shot down over Rangoon meets a local Burmese Girl, falls in love and later marries her  and settles happily .He say to her in critical stage, written in a note :
 "WE have to take decisions and some  times they can go wrong—but still we have to take decisions and move ahead". So true and  Yes, that sums it up, in an excellent novel involving 4 persons of different background ex Armed Forces and who really understand Life,  happiness and Success and all ends well.
Amazing story and teaches so much on ordinary people and Extra Ordinary living

Continuing.




Sunday and Holiday time-
thinking Aloud:
I have been on Leave since 25th of April 2017 and am so glad to have taken that decision. It is a chance to catch up with lost Sleep, Rest and a Stay-cation.Yesterday we managed an evening programe of Kishore Kumars hits by Satrangi near by . This period of leave has been good as it is blazing hot 41- 43 C outside in an extreme summer -
WE stay indoors; by 11 am it is just too hot.
 

This time also gave me a chance to do my annual medical checks(some issues to address) . Overall resumed some things missed out. A feeling of " Born Free- Living Free" is a dream for most, but "Stay free" is a choice and now up to me to decide. Will see as the days go by. Meanwhile my Mantra is Stay Free--and live every moment with Sudha. doing what we want to do...have always wanted to -but now within limits with health .Cheers to that

ps My batch and class say -Raj we will see (LOL) You cannot manage without some occupation - you need that little occupation to keep you going. The Doctors also say that!! Hmm
