63-year young man

He’s all of 63 and a marketing man. He has an amazing tact in networking and keeps in regular touch with all good friends. He had to leave UAE for India last month, dealing a blow to me as I miss a great friend.
He does not get a single penny out of it, but writes his views regularly in letters to the editor columns that are splashed across several newspapers in the UAE and India.
From where do you get such energy? I asked Mr Ragavan.
“I enjoy what I am doing and do what I enjoy doing,” he replied.
How about your romantic life? I joked as usual.
“Hehe..Don’t ask in front of my wife,” he said blushing.
“Are you scared of your wife?”
“It is not fear, but love for my family. What about you?” he asked.
“I am the boss of my house and I have my wife’s permission to say so,” I used the cliché to escape.

  1. Sure,after 60(i am)you feel as young as you may decide to.I have been a marketing man all along and I can feel how active he must have been.
    One misses good people when they are not around.

  13. "I enjoy what I am doing and do what I enjoy doing". How nice if all of us could say this about our jobs.

    As for you, thank your lovely wife for giving you the permission to atleast think that you are the boss :-)
