Ruminations

It struck me that I am 50 years old. Another 10 years to go before I can aspire to be a Rajini, without becoming a robot. So what should I look forward to in the coming ten?

Taste some good food from around the world.
Play some good golf- in Nagpur and elsewhere
Write a couple of books
Write at least one blog a month
See my daughters graduate and get on in life
See all the institutions I worked in grow to their full potential-without me, they can go faster
See all friends, family, colleagues-present and past, work towards whatever they wish to work for, and achieve most of it...
Do things which I feel proud of and do less of those which I am not proud of..

See you when I am 60!

Congrats Raja on the fifty. Normally the better batsmen take fresh guard at fifty. Look at everything anew I guess.
List of things to do sounds good. Maybe you should add a screenplay that we'll write sometime. A Woody Allen kind of screenplay.
