Father My Friend
Please Don't Make Fun of
Niklas 

 Don't Take Niklas To Your Friend
Places Please Give Him a Break

 Kris My Friend Take Care of Niklas
Leave Father for a While
Enough Enjoyment for Him

It is Wednesday Hot Sunny Day 25 Degrees
It is 9 am I have to take 2 Buses to go to
My Work I am Working Full Time Today

After Long Time I am Taking 2 Buses as
Some of My Friends are at Cottage
Some having appointments 

 Things happen when We getting Older
My Son Busy with His Work so I Don't ask
Him to Drop Me off anyway Life goes on

 I have to Start early to Take Bus # 120 at
9.15 am I will take Transfer will get down at
HW # 2 then walk couple of Minutes to
Get Bus # 900 called Pulse 

 This is additional Service of Durham Region
Started couple of Years Back 

 I successfully completed My Journey and now
Sitting in My Office Cubicle I was here at 9.25
Library opens at 9.30 still Premises was Open

 I started Thinking about the Concept of Being Old
Sometimes You start Feeling Old Like Father
Who is not even 67 still Strongly Believes
He is Old almost 67

Old Age is very Much Related to How You Think
We have so Many Bumps in Our Path of Life

 Two of These --- Teen Age and Retirement 
I Think are Main where We start Feeling that
Our Personality is Transforming 

Teen Age is very Mesmerizing --- We have so
Many Options get Distracted and Feel Lost 
Feel Disconnected from Our " Real Self "

We are Watching Discovery Channel and Like 3 D 
Cinema Imagining That We are into it 
Trying to Search Our Real Self 

Everything is Like a Big Puzzle -- What are We
Which Path We have to Lead Our Life --
Who Should We Take as Our Role Model

Film -- Art -- Medicine -- Law -- Politics
All Territories  -- Wide Open to Conquer 
So Many Choices --  Hard to Pick

We are Bursting with Full of Energy in a
Bring It On Mode We Finally Settle Down
With Ourselves to Move on in Certain Direction

Not Done Yet -- Down the Road We have to Face
One More Bump --- Retirement -- Before and After
as We are getting closer to that

 We start Feeling Low as if Our Days are Done
Our Life is going in Ditch and Looks Everything
Will go Upside Down 

We have 24 Hours of Our Day My Dear
We mostly go to Work for 8 Hours so if
We Get a Bigger Picture 

Only One Third of Our Time Slot will be Vacant
The Rest of Our Life will be the Same 
We have to Plan only for 8 Hours Time Slot
Not a Big Issue We can Fill This Blank 

First Change Your Attitude from Glass is
Half Empty to Glass is Half Full after that
Everything will be Worked out

Get Relaxed You Don't have to Fill every Bit of
Eight Hours Time Slot --  We are Our Own Manager 
We can Plan What We Like to Do and also when to
Start Our Day at Time of Our Own Choice

We can Choose Our Projects there are so Many
I Dreamed about but Never got a Chance to Work on that
I Forced Myself to Do Other Things which I Never
Enjoyed as Someone Else was My Manager 

I am Retired Now I can Make My Dreams Come True
I will Manage My Own Day My Own Time
My Own Life 

I am Happy I am Retired This is going to be the
Golden Era of My Life No one will be Overseeing
Except My Lord --  How Wonderful

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Some out of town visitors are also here. When I asked them why, they said that this place is well known among the locals so it is like a tourist spot

    I lost the race to post the blog on our corporate notice boards. It was already there when I got there. There were also fresh SDs with a note that this is from SAs

      SWS was fantastic today. Lots of discussion about how active Smile is. Looks like she is out almost 7 days a week and sometimes multiple times in one day. What an inspiration to us all

      During the SWN we talked about Smile's versatility. She is involved in so many different things. Impressive.

      Yes Smile is amazing. The one thing which I try to learn from her is how to be so positive. She is not just positive with words but with her deeds too. I know I want to be called a SA, but if I can only learn this aspect from her personality, I would be so happy

      And the thing which I want to learn is her kindness. She takes care of so many of her readers. Really treats them as family

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from our previous walk. Some of the retirees are still suffering from cramps also. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog

    The retirees enjoyed the blog. They are not sure how you can keep up with all the different activities. Your busy schedule is definitely something which we are all amazed by. It is very inspiring to the retirees.

    The subcommittee about physical health and well being met today. They wanted to discuss options for making us more active. They will like some advise form you on that

    The other subcommittee regarding joint family living requested more information. They are waiting for your advice about that

    The retired chef and cafe manager appreciate your recipe. They want to thank you for that

    Thank you again for all your counsel and guidance

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the SRC today. There is a problem as the encyclopedia that we worked on is not being able to be recovered from the digital media. The computer science department is completely involved in that. Some of the senior professors are looking at this issue as a personal matter. The Dean is upset that we never made copies but we were so busy with the Smile Garden situation that we forgot. The professors are telling us that there is lets of options that they need to try so there is lots of hope

    We went to the Smile Garden afterwards as it is very relaxing place.

    thank you

      Reeeelaaax Plunker. Just calm down. Why do you have to have so high expectations. You already know that there is no point in teaching the kids these days. Besides Smile has asked us to be gentle

      Thank you mrizvi. Amazing comment today. Very informed judgement

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
