It’s never too late to start living life the way you want to, other than living it by compulsion of family, society’s dictum and peer pressure. There is a wild streak in everyone.

Born free live free.

True Prasanna. its never too late to do or attempt to do most things, also given the convenience and services we have today, whether it is travel to Cherrapunji or China, learn a new language, a new recipe (by the way, I don't like cooking, eh) or make new friends. This is also more rewarding than looking before and after and pining for what is not, as the poet Shelley says. I've enrolled for a course in cancer and palliative care. One part of my mind said 'Why now?' but the other said 'Why not?'

Well written piece as always. The lines on opportunity remind me of an old favourite:

Knock Knock

Who’s there?

Opportunity

Oh- I thought opportunity knocks only once !
