Retire, as a busy (plan) bee”.

How do you want to retire?

As Mohammed Ali famously said, “It’s just a job, grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up”, I change jobs. Change it so often that I get to spend some helluva time with my family and friends. Anyone?

How do you balance work and home life?

Yes. A lot of it. To see Indian motorists appreciate how relaxed time (in fact) is and to teach them “there’s no such thing as rush-hour in one’s life”.

Do you need time?

I shall retire on the day an asteroid strikes the Earth. Till then no day off!

How do you want to retire?

“Pour me a pint, please”.

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

Hit a pub. Have a pint or two. Get ready for the next demanding day. As usual!

The long wait bores me.

What bores you?

Yes, the long wait bores me.

You know this is a big ocean. There is plenty to explore. You wake up every day, visit the shore, pick up the best instruments, ride against the monstrous waves, reach a lone rock at a distance, sit quiet, throw the bait into the calm waters and wait. Wait for hours. From dawn to dusk.

And come home empty. No fish. Every day.

No one notices you fishing nor do the blogs you write get likes or replies. Doesn’t that bore you?

The long wait bores me? Sure, yes!
