What's the change?

I asked one of my friends who has crossed 60 and is heading to 70 as to what sort of change he is feeling in him? He sent me the following very interesting lines which I'd like to share with you all.....

* After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I've started loving myself.

* I just realised that I am not "Atlas". The world does not rest on my shoulders.

* I have now stopped bargaining with the vegetable and fruit vendors. After all, a few rupees more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter's school fees.

* I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile on his face. After all he is toiling much harder for a living than me.

* I have stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane and relive the past.

* I have learnt not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

* I give compliments freely and generously. After all it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me.

* I have learnt not to bother about about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.

* I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do.

* I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race. After all, I am not a rat and neither am I in any race. 

* I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.

* I have learnt that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone.

* I have learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.

* I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness and I owe it to me.

Got up around 3, washed my face and rinsed my mouth. Thereafter, I said my prayers and on completion, turned off to sleep yet again.

We left home by 9 and reached the Foundation by a quarter to 10. After discussions, I set off to Thampanoor on my return trip. Couldn't get ticket for the Pune Express and hence clambered on to a low floor bus but not air conditioned - the KSRTC Swift.

They stopped around 1600 hrs for 'lunch' and for going round the corner. I'd told Vishnu and Ajmal to improve the quality of their services. The KSRTC also didn't seem to care, the other drivers literally giving them a tough time to park, within the bus stations.

Reached Kunnamkulam by a 10' past 8 and was at home by the time the serial, 'Kudumbavilakku' ended!
