I keep telling myself I’ll retire by so and so age. So do most of my friends. The previous generation’s concept of retiring at 58 doesn’t seem to be the norm anymore. People want to retire early and live a life of serenity or whatever that means. Or do charity like someone is doing today.

He typed from 6000 miles away, “Did you catch up with any friends?”.
College friends are fun – Instant catchup.
“Nahin Yaar”, I typed almost sadly. “Not met or spoken to anyone.”
“That’s sad, we seem to be always caught up in work, don’t we?”, “Funny in all these years we have moved from a bus to a car!”
