Perfect Human

“The shock is coming and it’s coming big”

Indian men should get rid of this trend of beards. Virat Kohli era is over.

After two years of marriage, my niece got divorced from her husband, citing "sexual incompatibility". Marriage these days has become a joke!

The Pain of Retirement… 😑 A retired IAS officer recently shifted to Patna after retirement. Every evening, he would walk in the nearby park carrying an air of pride and superiority, barely speaking to anyone. One day, he finally sat beside an elderly man and began talking. But his conversations always revolved around the same thing “I was such a powerful IAS officer in Bhopal. I deserved to settle in Delhi, not here.” The old man listened silently for days. Then one evening, he gently asked: “Have you ever seen a fused bulb? Once a bulb stops working, does anyone care which company made it, how many watts it was, or how brightly it once shined? No. A fused bulb is simply thrown away.” The officer nodded quietly. The old man continued: “Retirement makes all of us like fused bulbs. It no longer matters where we worked, what position we held, or how much power we once had. What truly matters is what kind of human being we were.” He pointed around the park and said: “One man here was a railway general manager, another was a brigadier in the army, someone else worked at ISRO, and I myself served twice as a Member of Parliament. Yet none of us introduce ourselves by our old titles anymore.” Because after the power and position fade away, all humans become equal. People worship the rising sun, not the setting one. Some individuals remain so attached to their designation that even after retirement, they continue to live inside their past glory hanging nameplates like “Retired IAS”, “Retired IPS”, “Retired Judge”, as if those titles still define them. But the real question is not what post you held. The real question is: Did you help people when you had power? Did your position benefit society? Did you treat ordinary people with respect? Or were you consumed only by arrogance? One day, every powerful “bulb” will fuse. What will remain is not the designation, but the humanity you showed while the light was still on.
