Decision of post retirement relocation for settlement should be an easy one to make, as you are likely to take it without any sense of obligation and liability driven prejudices.
ReplyDeleteThough, I may sound like a sophomore, but this very decision turns out be a critical one. Reasons can be many. One apparent one quickly coming to my mind is a habitual one. By retirement we become so habitual of taking every decision in our life after consulting a brigade of active and passive stakeholders. Continuing further with this habit can be a matter of subjective debate with endless propositions which will lead nowhere.
Ideally, post retirement life should be full of passion. I agree when they say that life starts after 40! In Indian context your life starts now. So you should be there, where you had started. I know you a bit and know well that you have never been bounded by voracity of mythical issue of so called urban life style.
I think Bandanwar can be a heaven to live if people of city come back and apply and mix their ideas...:)
