Two three days ago or maybe during the birthday week I decide to draw a sketch i.e. a circle divided into three parts representing life. The first is your half life i.e. 30 years and then the second half upto 60 years and the rest bonus. 

Why 60 and why this bifurcation?

Considering the lifestyle, the food we eat, the way we sit along with the mental fitness that we have I think 60 is still on greater side. The other thing to call 30 the first half is that until this point the body is at it's peak and if not utilized the downfall starts.

The bifurcation through my personal visualization is the first 30 is done and now I need to work and prepare for my bonus. I need to stay it, I need to be financially literate or wise and stable too, and physically fit because if I get the bonus I can't be bed ridden. This second half is going to decide the quality of bonus life. 

My priorities for the second half.

1. Physically Fit

2. Travel

3. Money

4. Mentally Fit

5. Family

6. Friends and Relationship

All are interdependent but all are required for the life I dream and imagine. 

I dream to be physically and mentally fit and have a work free income through rents, dividends, interests. I dream to cycle, swim and run and travel all over the country. I haven't thought much of love and marriage. I need to take care of my friends and family. I need to be mostly financially and somewhat emotionally available for them in every aspect of their life.

This second half has now started and I need to be consistent, persistent and a risk taker in every aspect of what I do to achieve. I plan to achieve all this before 40's that's the next 10 years so that I travel at an young age. Travelling young gives a different kind of freedom. The ability to be flexible and take risks, the mindset to adjust and accommodate and to revisit the place and recall and relive the experiences and the learnings.

Birthday was boring.

The story starts on 14th October 2024. I got an email from Amazon India that my Interview has been scheduled for 16th October 2024. As adventurous as I am, I immediately planned to take our Activa all the way to Bangalore for the interview and relive the memories of the Pune Kanyakumari cycle ride. I informed home and it was a big "NO" 

That night I altered all the plans and booked a flight. For the first time in my life I was flying two flights on the same day itself. Pune Bangalore Pune. I woke up and I was sad that I wasn't on the road. I received many WhatsApp messages but I still wasn't happy. I just wandered around and came back home. Went to the shop. Even I had no friends coming to celebrate as everyone was away and busy.

I planned to start this on my birthday but we are running late by 10 days and I promise to cover up and be on track.
