Echoes of a Relentless Spirit: A Journey Beyond Boundar


Echoes of a Relentless Spirit: A Journey Beyond Boundar

Biographies, whether penned by oneself or others, encapsulate more than just the milestone a life; they narrate the spirit, struggles, triumphs, and philosophy that define an individual. If a biography were to be written about me, it would not be a mere chronological account of events but a tale of resilience, adaptability, and the unyielding pursuit of purpose.

A Tapestry Woven with Multicultural Threads

Born in the mystical land, my journey has been anything but conventional. From the Himalayan foothills to the bustling corridors of academia, my life has been a confluence of cultures, philosophies, and experiences. Having studied under the rigorous and disciplined tutelage of Jesuit fathers, I imbibed the essence of holistic education—one that nurtures not just intellect but also character.

Life, however, had its own set of trials. The sudden demise of my grandfather altered the course of my education and life’s trajectory. Yet, adversity became the crucible in which my resilience was forged. The struggle for knowledge, the thirst for wisdom, and the sheer will to rise above circumstances became the defining motifs of my existence.

The Principal’s Chair: More than a Position

A significant portion of my life has been dedicated to education—not just as a profession but as a calling. Spending 38 years in academia, with two decades as a Principal, I did not merely administer schools; I nurtured young minds, cultivated talent, and instilled values that extended beyond textbooks.

Each morning, as I walked into school, I felt the weight of responsibility—not as a burden but as a privilege. The laughter of students, the inquisitive glint in their eyes, the whispered fears of parents, and the dedication of teachers made every day an intricate dance of emotions and duties. I found joy in training choirs, formulating policies, counselling students, and fostering an environment where learning was not just a necessity but a celebration.

The challenge of retirement loomed large. When a life’s work is entwined with the rhythm of school bells and the vibrancy of youthful energy, stepping away feels akin to losing a part of oneself. However, the relentless spirit within me refused to succumb to stagnation. Consultation, writing, and intellectual pursuits became my new arenas of engagement, ensuring that my passion for education never dimmed.

The Battle Against Time and Perception

Age, they say, is but a number, yet society often dictates otherwise. Despite an unwavering zeal and an arsenal of experience, the perception of age becomes a barrier in professional spheres. The reluctance of institutions to embrace the wisdom of years is a reality that gnaws at many retired professionals. But resilience has been my lifelong companion, and I refuse to let societal constructs dictate my worth.

This phase of life has also been a lesson in solitude—learning to find companionship in books, music, and the written word. The gradual decline of social interactions, the fading enthusiasm of once-vibrant friendships, and the silence of once-busy platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook often cast shadows of loneliness. Yet, even in solitude, I find echoes of past laughter, lessons from history, and the enduring strength of my own resolve.

The Road Ahead: Unwritten Chapters

A biography is never truly complete, for life continues to unfold in unexpected ways. If my journey has taught me anything, it is that passion and purpose do not retire. Whether it is through the ink of my writings, the melody of my harmonium, or the wisdom imparted to those willing to listen, my story remains a work in progress.

If my life were to be chronicled, the title “Echoes of a Relentless Spirit: A Journey Beyond Boundaries” would aptly encapsulate its essence. It speaks of a life unfettered by limitations, a spirit that refuses to be subdued, and a journey that continues to defy boundaries—of geography, age, and convention.

As the pages of time turn, I remain eager for the next chapter, for every sunset holds the promise of another dawn.

Walking in Their Footsteps: A Reflection on My Parents at My Age


Walking in Their Footsteps: A Reflection on My Parents at My Age

Time has a peculiar way of shifting perspectives. When we are young, we see our parents as indestructible, omniscient figures, navigating life with a certainty we can only dream of. As we age, however, we begin to see them through a different lens—not as distant authority figures but as individuals who, like us, bore the weight of responsibilities, dreams, and unspoken struggles.

Now, as I stand at the crossroads of my own journey, I often wonder—what were my parents doing at my age? Were they as contemplative as I am now, looking back with nostalgia and forward with cautious hope? Or were they too preoccupied with the immediacy of life to indulge in such reflections?

The Weight of Responsibilities

At my current age, my parents were deeply entrenched in their responsibilities, carrying burdens that I perhaps only now fully comprehend. Their lives revolved around stability—ensuring that the family was cared for, that the future was secured, and that the values they cherished were passed down. They were not merely living for themselves; they were living for others, shaping lives in ways that only years later I have come to appreciate.

I recall their unwavering discipline—waking up at the crack of dawn, seldom indulging in leisure, and always finding ways to make ends meet, even when resources were scarce. Unlike the modern world, where technology has softened many hardships, their era demanded resilience in ways my generation has seldom experienced.

A Different Kind of Struggle

Life was, perhaps, simpler then, yet no less demanding. The distractions of the digital world did not exist, but the weight of societal expectations was ever-present. Success was measured not by likes and shares but by the ability to provide, to educate, and to uphold familial honour.

They navigated a world with fewer conveniences but greater human connections. Letters were written with ink and emotion, conversations were cherished, and relationships were nurtured through shared struggles rather than fleeting digital interactions. In contrast, my generation, for all its advancements, often grapples with a peculiar loneliness—a disconnect masked by perpetual connectivity.

The Lessons They Left Behind

The more I reflect, the more I realise that my parents, at my age, were unknowingly laying the foundation for the life I now lead. Their sacrifices, silent and profound, paved the way for opportunities I might have otherwise taken for granted.

If I were to sit across from them now, both of us at the same age, I wonder what advice they would offer. Would they tell me to be more patient? To worry less and trust the process of life? Or would they simply smile, knowing that some lessons must be learned rather than taught?

A Timeless Parallel

Though the world has changed, the essence of human experience remains the same. Each generation carries its own burdens, dreams its own dreams, and leaves behind silent footprints for the next to follow.

As I stand where they once stood, I find comfort in knowing that while our struggles may differ, the spirit of resilience, love, and unwavering determination binds us across time. Perhaps, in understanding their journey, I am better equipped to navigate my own.

And maybe, just maybe, years from now, when someone asks what I was doing at this age, they will see in my story the echoes of those who walked before me.

Breaking Chains: Reforming the Retirement Policy for a Fairer Tomorrow


Breaking Chains: Reforming the Retirement Policy for a Fairer Tomorrow

Laws are meant to serve justice, uphold equality, and evolve with the changing times. Yet, some laws, either due to oversight or an inability to keep pace with societal progress, become shackles rather than safeguards. If I had the power to change one law, it would undoubtedly be the retirement policy—particularly the systemic age-based bias that forces capable and experienced individuals into professional exile.

The Stigma of Retirement

Retirement, as dictated by law or corporate policies, often comes with a rigid age limit—regardless of an individual’s intellectual, physical, or professional capabilities. In many sectors, particularly in education and administration, seasoned professionals with decades of experience are sidelined, not because they are incapable, but simply because a number on a birth certificate dictates so. This not only strips them of their financial independence but also robs society of their wisdom, experience, and mentorship.

The irony is palpable. While medical advancements have extended human longevity, and individuals in their sixties and seventies remain physically fit and mentally agile, policies continue to push them into premature professional oblivion. The result? A pool of talent, insight, and expertise is rendered redundant, forcing many to struggle financially and emotionally.

Experience vs. Age: The Flawed Equation

In the modern era, where knowledge is a currency and mentorship a necessity, dismissing individuals based on age alone is counterproductive. Many leading nations have begun re-evaluating their retirement policies, offering flexible employment options and ensuring that seasoned professionals remain in advisory or part-time roles. This not only benefits individuals but also contributes to economic stability, reduces dependence on pensions, and fosters a culture where knowledge is passed down seamlessly.

Imagine a world where professionals could choose to continue their careers based on merit rather than an arbitrary age cap. Where schools still had their most experienced teachers, where corporations still retained their sharpest minds, and where governance still benefited from the wisdom of those who have seen decades of change. The concept of retirement should not be dictated by age but by choice, competence, and contribution.

A Call for Change

Reforming retirement laws to make them more flexible—perhaps by allowing professionals to prove their capabilities through assessments rather than forcing them out at a certain age—would be a step towards a more just and efficient system. It would acknowledge that experience is an asset, not a liability.

Age should not be a cage; it should be a crown—worn with dignity, not discarded with indifference. If laws are to be the pillars of justice, then they must evolve to uphold fairness, not merely tradition. And in the case of retirement, it is high time we chose wisdom over wastefulness.

Would you rather live in a world where knowledge is treasured or where it is tossed aside simply because the clock struck sixty? The choice, and the change, is ours to make.

A House of My Own: A Dream Woven in Brick and Time



A House of My Own: A Dream Woven in Brick and Time

Home is more than just walls and a roof; it is a sanctuary where the soul finds rest and dreams take flight. My ideal home is not an ostentatious palace but a place that exudes warmth, wisdom, and tranquillity—an abode where history, philosophy, and nature coexist in perfect harmony.

A Home Rooted in Nature

Nestled amidst rolling hills or by the gentle embrace of a river, my dream home would be a symphony of nature. Imagine a cobbled pathway leading up to a house adorned with ivy-covered walls, large bay windows inviting in the morning sun, and a verandah where I can sip my tea, listening to the rustling leaves narrate their ancient tales. The fragrance of blooming jasmines would linger in the air, while birds would sing their dawn chorus—a melody better than any symphony ever composed.

A Library That Speaks Volumes

A house without books is a body without a soul. The heart of my dream home would be a vast library, its wooden shelves lined with classics, philosophical discourses, historical epics, and scientific marvels. There would be a cosy reading nook by a tall arched window, where a soft armchair and a warm lamp would be my companions on rainy afternoons. A Persian rug underfoot and the gentle crackle of a fireplace in winter would complete the picture—an intellectual retreat where time slows, and the mind journeys across centuries.

A Kitchen That Whispers Tradition

The kitchen, the soul of any home, would be a delightful fusion of tradition and modernity. A rustic wooden dining table, perhaps handcrafted by a skilled artisan, would be the centrepiece, where conversations flow as freely as the aromas of freshly baked bread. Copper utensils gleaming on open shelves, a mortar and pestle for grinding spices the old-fashioned way, and a wood-fired oven would pay homage to culinary traditions of the past while embracing contemporary conveniences.

A Courtyard Bathed in Moonlight

An open courtyard would be an essential feature—an oasis of solitude where the night sky unveils its celestial wonders. A small pond with floating lotus flowers, a weathered stone bench, and a flowering frangipani tree would make it an enchanting retreat for contemplation. It would be the perfect place for an evening of poetry, music, or quiet introspection under the watchful gaze of the stars.

A Study Where Ideas Take Flight

A secluded study would be my sanctum sanctorum—a space where thoughts are penned into words, and creativity finds its wings. A sturdy oak desk facing a window overlooking a garden, stacks of journals filled with musings, and the faint scent of parchment and ink lingering in the air—this is where ideas would come alive, where stories would be born.

A Sanctuary Beyond Brick and Mortar

My dream home is not about grandeur but about creating a space that breathes life, wisdom, and peace. It is where the past converses with the present, where the mind is enriched, and the spirit finds solace. It is a place where every corner has a story to tell, where silence speaks louder than noise, and where the very walls echo with the laughter of a life well lived.

Perhaps, in the grand tapestry of existence, my dream home is not just a place but a feeling—a haven where the heart always feels at home.

Euphoria Unleashed: My First Moments of Fantastic News


Euphoria Unleashed: My First Moments of Fantastic News

Life has a peculiar way of unfolding, often bringing in moments of despair before suddenly surprising us with a stroke of serendipity. When great, amazingly fantastic news comes my way, it’s as if the universe has conspired to shower me with joy. But what do I do first? Do I jump in exhilaration? Do I break into a spontaneous dance? Or do I sit in silent disbelief, allowing the magnitude of the moment to sink in?

The Initial Rush: A Rollercoaster of Emotion

The moment fantastic news arrives, a surge of adrenaline courses through my veins. My heart pounds like the rhythmic beat of a djembe, a mix of excitement and disbelief playing a symphony within me. If the news is truly beyond expectations, I pause for a second, letting it settle—because reality sometimes feels dreamlike when the unexpected turns in my favour.

Then, a silent smile takes over—one that begins at the lips but reaches deep into the soul. It is the kind of smile that cannot be feigned, a natural expression of elation that even a stranger could interpret. My hands involuntarily clasp together, as if offering a quick, heartfelt thank you to the unseen forces that have orchestrated this moment.

Celebrating in My Own Unique Way

Not one to bottle up my emotions, I let my joy manifest in ways that reflect my personality. If I’m at home, music instantly takes centre stage. A triumphant melody—perhaps an old favourite from my collection of timeless classics—sets the mood, filling the room with an air of celebration. If the news is truly monumental, I may even let my feet succumb to an impromptu jig, an animated expression of uncontainable glee.

Sometimes, the best way to savour such news is to step outside. A short drive, with the windows down and the wind whispering through, feels like a victorious march into the world. The trees appear greener, the sky bluer, and the very air around me carries a touch of magic.

Whom Do I Tell First?

The urge to share great news is instinctive. But I do not rush to announce it to the world immediately. I believe in letting the moment linger within me, basking in its glow before allowing others into my happiness. However, there are always a few trusted souls—friends, mentors, or confidants—who deserve to hear it first. Their reactions often amplify my own joy, turning it into something even more profound.

A phone call, a voice note, or even a brief, cryptic message saying, “Guess what just happened?” sets the stage for a delightful revelation. The thrill of hearing their excitement, their disbelief mirroring my own, makes the experience doubly rewarding.

Reflection: Gratitude and Grounding

Once the initial euphoria settles, I take a moment of quiet reflection. Fantastic news, no matter how grand, carries an implicit reminder of the journey that led to it. It is easy to get lost in the jubilation, but I make it a point to pause and appreciate the forces—hard work, perseverance, unseen blessings—that have played their part.

I whisper a word of gratitude, acknowledging the past struggles that made the triumph sweeter. For every victory, however big or small, is built upon the lessons of yesteryears.

The Aftermath: What Comes Next?

Fantastic news is a wonderful gift, but what one does next defines its true value. Does one rest on the laurels, or does one use it as a stepping stone to greater things? I believe in the latter. Even in my moments of celebration, a voice within nudges me forward, reminding me that this joy is not an endpoint but a milestone.

So, while I bask in the glow of my achievement, I also ask myself—What next? Because every moment of triumph carries within it the seed of future success, waiting to be nurtured.

Final Thought: The Beauty of the Unexpected

Life is unpredictable, and that is its greatest charm. The most fantastic news often arrives unannounced, turning ordinary days into extraordinary ones. And when it does, I welcome it with open arms, embracing the joy, sharing it with those who matter, and using it as fuel to propel me towards even greater heights.

For in the grand symphony of life, every high note deserves to be celebrated, every crescendo embraced with an open heart.

From Passion to Past: Hobbies I Have Out grown Over Time


From Passion to Past: Hobbies I Have Out grown  Over Time

Hobbies are like old friends—some stay with us for a lifetime, while others drift away as we evolve. They shape our identity, offer solace, and at times, even define our routine. Yet, as the years roll on, priorities shift, perspectives change, and once-beloved pastimes quietly fade into the background. Looking back, I find myself reminiscing about certain activities that once held my unwavering attention but have since become relics of a different time.

The Ebb and Flow of Interests

Life is dynamic, and so are our interests. A hobby that once ignited excitement may, over time, feel redundant or misaligned with our evolving priorities. Sometimes, it’s a matter of time constraints, while in other cases, the thrill simply wears off. I have seen this happen in my own journey—activities I once pursued with passion have gradually lost their place in my life.

The Bicycle That Gathered Dust

There was a time when cycling was my great escape. The crisp morning air, the rhythmic sound of the wheels on the pavement, and the sheer joy of gliding through quiet streets felt liberating. Cycling was not just a hobby but a ritual that kept me connected to nature and my own thoughts. However, as the years passed, the bicycle gathered dust. Life’s responsibilities took precedence, and the thrill of the ride was replaced by the convenience of other modes of travel. Now, when I see cyclists cruising past, a flicker of nostalgia arises, but the urge to return to the saddle never fully rekindles.

The Vanishing Act of Sketching and Painting

As a younger version of myself, I found solace in sketching and painting. There was something incredibly satisfying about bringing an idea to life on paper, playing with shades and textures, and watching a blank canvas transform into a piece of expression. However, with time, other pursuits claimed my focus, and the sketchbooks were tucked away. Today, the thought of picking up a paintbrush feels more like a distant memory than a compelling urge.

The Lost Art of Stamp Collecting

Stamp collecting was once a fascinating adventure. Each tiny, adhesive-backed piece carried a story—of distant lands, historical events, and artistic elegance. Hours were spent meticulously organising them, admiring the details, and learning about the places they represented. But the digital era slowly diminished the charm of such tangible collections. With emails replacing letters and the postal culture changing, the excitement of acquiring new stamps waned, and eventually, my album remained untouched.

The Melodies That Faded

Music has been a lifelong companion, yet certain aspects of it have changed for me. There was a time when I meticulously practised playing musical instruments, striving for perfection in each note. While I still find immense joy in music, the rigorous practice sessions that once consumed my time no longer hold the same appeal. Now, music is more of a listener’s delight than a creator’s pursuit. The passion remains, but its form has evolved.

Moving Forward Without Regret

Outgrowing hobbies is not a sign of abandonment but of evolution. Interests shift, and new pursuits take centre stage. What once held my heart may no longer do so, but they have left behind invaluable lessons—patience, discipline, creativity, and an appreciation for life’s simple joys.

As I look ahead, I do not lament the loss of these pastimes but rather cherish the experiences they gave me. Perhaps, one day, I may stumble upon an old hobby and feel the spark reignite. Or maybe, new adventures await, ready to captivate me in ways I have yet to discover. After all, life is not about clinging to the past but embracing the ever-changing rhythm of our passions.
