Page 29 - Seniors Today - May21 Issue

As I pen this on May 1, 2021 with the Covid
pandemic raging all over India, homebound
in Alibaug, I cannot but reminisce on the
wonderful times in the mountains. I yearn
to get back to the Himalayas. Fabulous
destinations are opening up, infrastructure
has improved and homestays abound. Far
from the madding crowds, away from the
touristy hill stations, in quiet corners of
the mountains, with day-long walks, crisp
mornings and fireside nights is the way to go.
On a closing note, I say that the cliché - age is
only a number – is true. Pursue your passions
and constantly learn and do things you have
never done before (if you ate so inclined).
Pursue the road less travelled. For me, it’s
the mountains, countryside and nature. For
another it can be the pursuit of knowledge,
spirituality, science, agriculture, botany and
what have you.
