ÑIRVANA
Meet Lt Col Arjun Gopala Ratnam Iyer. AOC, 46NDA India Sqn,
( In the minmalistic Loin Cloth ) .
Of late I find that quite a few of us in our mid 60s on Bamboodoor have Ants in their Pants and are getting our Knickers into a tangled twist over all knds of inconsequential stuff ....NFU , Service Dresses , CAA , Ra Ga , So Ga , NaMo, Am Sh , Mamta di , INDI alliance , BJP, Hindu- Muslim et al .
Its becoming almost like an obsession . ...We are on on the narrow and irretrievable path of becoming crabby old men who are a pain to all and sundry around them including their near & dear ones .
We need to take a step back and review whats happening to us and make some mid course corrections . ..get back to finding meaning , joy and happiness in everything in our lives and attain Contentment & Serenity of mind akin to a near form of Nirvana .
Meet another Alumni of our Alma Mater NDA who has found his peace ,tranquility and Mojo in life by living a simple ,uncomplcated life by carrying out organic farming in a remote village near Madurantakam in TN .
He gives away all the produce to the vllagers and pays his farm hands from his pension .
His life may be the other extreme end of the spectrum, but there is a lesson here for all of us to strike a good balance ; by eliminating meaningless clutter in our lives and arriving at what works best for us .
Think about it guys & lets apply mid course corrections in our Life's GPS
