I had looked forward to retirement, but honestly, the empty nest hurts a bit. I wait for the annual visit of my grandchildren, when we have a ‘Paper Boat Festival’, akin to the Kite Festival in Gujarat, and creativity in making a boat is rewarded.
I deliberately lose every contest, so that they come back to win and devise newer contests.

Losing the contest to win hearts. Loneliness is not easy to combat.
