This page features stories and memories from a wise retiree in India. I've enjoyed his stories on some of my retiree email groups as well as his comments to visitors... so I wanted to put them in one place for visitors to enjoy!
This Indian retiree writes his memories into stories with a life lesson at the end... I read one after another and realize this man writes easily. Thus this page where I can gather his wisdom into one big page of philosophy, stories from India, and much much more! I hope you enjoy them all!
p.s. Comments welcome on any story!
