Happy Retirement

 I went to a 'retirement' function yesterday. A place where you wish someone ridiculous things like 'happy second innings'

His wife was giving a small talk where she said, in a light vein, that she too is retiring from the duty of preparing 'tiffin'

I was wondering if I happen to survive another two decades, will I be sane enough to live a happy second innings

A frank Dad son conversation

 So my Dad, like most of the retired elder people are hooked to YouTube and particularly into the conspiracy behind religion, food , politics and what not

So yesterday he sends me a youtube link and I don't even acknowledges there messages

But I thought I should amuse myself with the headline and I was surprised and shocked to see that video was sermon on how 'Sexual immorality draws people from God'

I was stupified. I remember when I was young and I saw word in the Bible 'semen' and I asked him what it was and he drove me away. So what is this frankness when I am forty and the libido is on a decline

Well I decided to watch the video in the evening and I realized what he wanted to say was another 'retired' uncle who is into spreading word among the youths decided to start a YouTube channel and came up with this topic

Oh my creepy creepy uncles

A scene I wish I never witnessed

 So my next  door Neighbour, who I know is not very well off, lives by cooking tiffins for nearby offices. And I have seen bank officials coming in for loan recovery


So today I went to get my daily morning grocery, and I happened to see the shopkeeper arguing and abusing him. He seems to have asked for a rebate in the Atta flour. Both os us looked embarrassed seeing each other out there


Bottom line is it is not easy to make a living
