The morning sun warmly lights up Bangalore as I kickstart my day with a brisk jog, followed by a comforting shower. A hearty bowl of oatmeal with nuts fuels me for the tasks ahead as I sit down before my computer.
Staring at a blank document for ten minutes, my attention shifts when a notification on my phone reveals pictures from my friend's granddaughter's birthday. Filled with warmth, I type out a heartfelt message before settling back on my sofa for a bit of scrolling—unintentionally dozing off to the sounds of my lively neighbors.
The realization hits - a Zoom meeting with my retired buddies is just 20 minutes away. Connecting with friends from different corners of the world, we share tales of international escapades, bemoan rising pollution, and revel in personal triumphs.
Amidst the banter, the prospect of a December in-person reunion emerges. Taking mental notes of everyone's preferences, I seize the opportunity, making calls, finalizing a venue, and firing off a quick message to the group. By noon, a flurry of messages ensues, filled with questions and laughter.
As the day unfolds, hunger strikes, not just for a meal but for a deeper purpose. Retirement has given me the freedom to dream, and a desire to support budding entrepreneurs tugs at my heart. The thought of returning to a structured job crosses my mind, but at 63, I question if that's truly what I want.
A visit to the local incubator leaves me feeling a bit out of sync. Sharing my aspirations with friends often leads to puzzled looks, yet the echoes of corporate wisdom persist - set goals aligned with purpose and pursue them with zeal.
The challenge lies in figuring out the "how" of moving forward. It's a journey of rediscovery, a chapter waiting to unfold. Standing at this juncture, the possibilities are vast, and I'm ready to explore the road ahead.
