If I ever reach 80, probably I will find some way to justify why being 80 is better than being 60! :)Sunil Deepakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781674474022699458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-3023007488525702142014-02-10T15:21:57.823+05:302014-02-10T15:21:57.823+05:30@ Jack and Purnima thank you so much for coming ba...@ Jack and Purnima thank you so much for coming back to this space.

But then I see examples of women ike you, Preeti Shenoy, and many other who surround me and i think they are at the peak of their life. <br /><br />I am 29, and have about roughly 11 more yrs to get there. sometimes i cannot wait to get there... thinking Iwill be more independent of hands on mommying! :) <br /><br />There is always a lot of learning to do through your posts. this one was certainly one among them.

Visiting your space after a long long time...Meera,<br /><br />Visiting your space after a long long time. Read two posts. On previous one, how I wish there are more persons like your father and you. Also need of the hour is for politicians who see beyond their selfish ways and work for building the country. You have brought out a lot of facts like our educations system and all. I hope and pray that situations changes for the better. On this one. as we grow our outlook definitely gets broadened. May be due to experience we go through. Our goals too change with age, like at this age we look forward to settling down of children. Well written. However please do take care of yourself as you do need to understand that even at this age you can be a target of some unstable character.<br /><br />Take care Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-4016126931325009352014-02-03T21:32:16.610+05:302014-02-03T21:32:16.610+05:30@ Anil it was none of that.

Veena, you are right- relishing happiness is something that we learn to do as we age.<br /><br />@ SG that was a nice way to put it!!!<br /><br />@ Christopher, age is certainly a state of mind. There are people in their twenties I know, who behave like they are forty and plus! And about your music, please do keep at it. I feels good to get those piece you send me :)<br /><br />@ Ajoy welcome to the Chronicles.

I find playing music now much more satisfying than it did in my teens because I am not bothered about how "correct" my chords are or how acceptable my music is. As a result, I enjoy my music much more now than I did earlier although I may not be playing that much better music!<br /><br />In your usual style, you brought out the many aspects of a "liberating" age and I enjoyed reading it.
