Once upon a time, I was a ‘robber.’ I joined a gang. We planned a robbery. It was well executed. We got away with the loot. The police never caught up with us. We went scott free until today. You are the first to hear this confession. Can you keep this a secret? My friend […]

Living For What Truly Matters

I have faced death a few times in my lifetime. Once, I saw a beach ball bobbing on the water near the beach. I swam to try and retrieve it. Little did I know that the tide was receding strongly – and fast. Both the ball and I were being swept further and further away from […]

There is a crazy stunt that I do every now and then. While I am driving, if I see a stranger sitting all by himself or herself at a bus stop, I will smile at him/her. Then I will wave at the person. I will do it in a kind and friendly way. I have […]

Reading For Life (Part 3)

September 13, 2011

My father who was a lorry driver when I was a kid made what we thought was the ‘most stupid decision.’ He bought a set of encyclopedia. Actually, two sets – the other set was probably a “free gift” from the salesperson since my father “made a decision by today.” My father could not really […]

My reservist officers would gather together regularly. We have been doing it for the past 30 years. Every time we meet, we would update each other about the changes in our lives.
