REFLECTIONS AT 72
Continuing.
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
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

It would be interesting and educative for me to know from you, how you went about finding out the answer to 'Who Am I?'. Thank you so much. Regards
