Cheer Up !!! Make a Headway Towards New Horizons...

“Daring and courageous have a fan following.... they are the trendsetters. I salute them cuz they dare to dream and to achieve them, they break all the barriers, shackles and cross all the boundaries.”

Well, this truly describes U, Me.. n.. Us…… everyone who tried to live an honest life… persevered … faced life courageously.

After retiring from an active n hectic life of a teacher, when I looked back the realization dawned that it has not been a routine, boring schedule for 35 years but rich in experience….. Fond memories to smile at, all the difficult turbulent times of yesteryears are mere memories 



Mountains surrounding Bhowali......



My carefree childhood was spent in Bhowali Sanatorium, Nainital, a hill station, a famous British settlement in India, where my parents were doctors. Lovely pine forests, chestnut trees, wild animals, orchids growing in wild……What else a child could ask for?

Amidst all the ups n downs and twists n turns life has been interesting and eventful but rich in experiences, lessons learnt….. Surprisingly, I have no bitter feelings for anyone.

My passion for driving, mobile photography, trying to grow plants in water, being a Pencileer (addicted to colour pencils) and the most important of all to be internet savvy…… a beautiful virtual world which has opened a small window to the entire world, surfaced after retirement and life became interesting again.

Believe me, life doesn't stop at retirement. It's a phase of life circle completed and time for a new beginning where we have to pay attention to ourselves... dust our memories and find out what we  always wanted to pursue in life.
                  
Life is complex… complicated… not easily understood but one thing is for sure that everything is destined…. nothing happens by chance. It is all about learning lessons from your experiences to transform you into a better person.

Life is beautiful!!!

But keep learning new things in life. It keeps you mentally and physically young. This is the most important lesson I have learnt in life, it has helped me to meet like-minded people and life again is interesting after retirement.

The reminiscences of yesteryears and the lessons learnt are common in everyone's life but with slight differences. I will share my lessons of life with you all and I am sure you can correlate with them and share yours as well by commenting on the posts.
