A few days are still left to Contemplate: Henceforward

A few days are still left to Contemplate: Henceforward

The countdown has begun for the official retirement on 31^st May 2013. The modest dream or desire , or even a minimal expectation is that my knees and the back, eyes and arms will be reasonably strong enough, vibrant enough to sit and study, write and ruminate upon the life in general and Economics discipline in particular . The ball is in the court of the creator. I will play the game depending upon the ground and my strength.

Like Cleopatra, Economics has made me academically hungry even while it has satisfied me abundantly. My moral universe, relatively strong and secure was positioned by students and books. The only difference after 31^st may would be that my home may turn out to be the workplace, as it had been all along, even while I was officially employed in my second home.

A few MBA guys who met last night was  only a sample of my vastly expanding population of my students who always kept me in good stead, in a functional way. I will not miss them in my virtual world. But regular teaching, I will miss.

Age will not wither my appetite for   reading and writing  or to take genuine interest in the welfare of fellow human. At the end of the day, what matters is your good deeds and moral strength and not the degree of intellectual prostitution, that one can indulge in for pelf and position, power and title. I thank the almighty for having saved me from the dirt and filth of the devilish world.

Student friends! Come on! Life is short. We can make it sweet and enjoyable.

 Let’s all enjoy all the simpler pleasures of life under the sun, without compromising on core values of life. We will continue to believe in the goodness of the universe.
