This is the
second part of what I felt on the day of my retirement. I could not sleep on
that day after 2 45 A M.I took the draft of Arul Jason”s thesis manuscript and
started correcting for nearly two hours. It was a good beginning. I was in the world of sterilized
and unsterilized intervention of Central bank. His pet theme was how a huge accumulation
of reserves would act as a signaling mechanism to forex traders ad credit rating agencies and so on.The eyes signaled that I should get some sleep. When I
got up at 6 15 AM again laziness enveloped me
and I did not meekly submit and I found myself soon on the beach with
the rising sun and many known people.I met three of my colleagues.
Know the retirement is something inevitable
and that it is not the end of the story. It is more like an interval that we
need in life. One needs peace and a bit of aloofness to know oneself and I will
have all the time to spend with books and play with the grandchildren. Indeed my whole active life was spent in reading and
preparation for the class and I did not think about more publications which I
could have done very easily in larger measure. That wisdom did not enter into
my brain.I hope I will have more time for reading and travel and watch some
some classic movies and also cultivate more link with my subject.
I never
planned anything in life ..No goals or
targets …Not much ambition .I am what I am and I am happy with myself. The only
merit or drawback is that there is more academic greed and I will be more blessed and satisfied if the supreme can
shower me with good eyesight and normal health.with all my globalization I will
try to live in a shell and enjoy nature and books.when I am concluding my
grandson says:Thatha, nalla padi meaning
“Grand pa, read well”. It was just a
flash and he has all the attributes and skills to evolve as a good intellectual
worker.
