Hi,
I have begun the countdown to my early retirement. All these days I had to do what I am doing because I was paid for it... not any more.. I can do what I want to do. Thinking on the same lines.. what can I do which I would like to.. Here are a few things.
1. Be a teacher.. I like teaching.
2. Look after children of construction workers.. glory??
3. Go to church everyday in the morning.. I haven't for a long time. Blame my job for it.
4. I want to be a driver for a school bus.
5. I want to own and drive an ambulance for street kids in Mysore.. with those wonderful people from "Operation Shanti".
6.Be a gardener... to play with water
7. Want to be a professional photo journalist. Clean the rut around a bit.
8. Be a tourist guide in Mysore. The place has so much of history around, and we have some quacks around promoting themselves as guides.
9. Be a bus driver... fun to see the world get in and out of your bus.. an experience eh!
10. Take care of my grandson full time.. missed the fun of bringing up my own kids sometimes.. blame it on my job.
11. Laze around.. very easy for some.. tough for me.
12. Drink to glory and not have to get up in the morning to go to office.. easy for me!!!!
13. Go hiking every day.. tough and I like it.
14. Go back to college and do something big.. I missed this.. blame it on circumstances.
15. Cheer up the oldies in an old age home... it is just time before I end up there.. selfish me.
16. Go on a voyage aboard a luxury liner. My dream.. will never come true but.
17. Own a restaurant. Oh my God.. it has been there on my mind all my life. I must be having umpteen number of books about managing a restaurant.
18. Be a chef. I like the uniform.
19. Join the Air Force back, and look at radar screen eight hours a day and end the day with three big drinks. Also the uniforms are better these days, I see.
20. Go back to aviation which is my bread, butter and jam for 30 years. I would love it definitely.
21. Educate people about the seriousness of global warming.
22. Join NASA to be part of the rubbish they do.
23. Join local level politics.. Do something clean in politics.
24. Be a health inspector to check cleanliness in restaurants. I would knock the day light out of diry eatery owners.
25. Be myself.. I could never be this. I was always somebody's someone looking after somebody's some commitments.
Love to every body. John
