I am Retired..!!! You have a doubt ?

I learned from an Insurance advisor that one can be termed as retired in 2 ways in life. One when he has reached  an age bar and decides to have zero dealings with any sort of work and two when he decides to be stress free or to put it in better words, to do things that he wishes to do. Just about a few years ago when i decided to start by my own i realised i had a whole list of things to achieve. Hence to begin smart i took some books that explained to me what it takes to start by your own. One example i came across was of an IIM pass out (i forgot his name by now) who mentioned that he started a Catering business after passing out from an IIM. Imagine what a foolish right. All his friends including him got an offer worth of more than 30 lacs and its not a bad amount to begin your career with. He decided to not opt for this and go help his mother in her catering business grow up. He infact made a loss of about 10 Lacs in the first year and  by now the people around him had all stories to make about him and his foolishness. People pounce on when they see your failure but no one knew what he was doing then. 2nd year end of the year he had a profit worth 76 lacs in his books and a monthly turn over of 32 lacs (what was suppose to be his yearly package) and promised to make it 4 times from the 3rd year onwards. A valuation worth more 2 Crs in 2 yrs made him certainly a man to look upon to. After this story i realised one thing. That life is about being RETIRED. Take up what you feel is the best thing you like doing in LIFE and Live it. Vishal, CEO of India Games, loved playing games. Did he leave it..??? no. He made the world play games instead. Started a company at the age of 26. Was left with 2lacs in the end of some quarter of the year which was the last amount left the last round of investment the VC did for his company. What did he do. He bet on his confidence, dreamed bigger and converted it into 3 Crs which were sufficient enough for the next 3 years at least. Today almost all of us know about India Games. Salute to you Mr Vishal. So its simple. I decided i want to be retired and let stress be a bypass for this JANAM. Thats how i started terming my OCCUPATION to the world as - Promotions of Retirement Plans. By now i am sure you know the other meaning of Retirement.
I have challenges on my way as retirement is not an easy phase of life. You have no great support but yet you have to live through your time and show the world your independent success.
Well here i am. Making it clear to the world about my RAC ticket for SUCCESS which is about to become CONFIRMED and my name too would be out of the waiting list just the guys i mentioned above.
I heard into my passion. I followed what i want to do. The list is long. But this is a good start to my belief. What is it with 'YOU' ?

How do you know if this is your PASSION

Well!!! All of us spent about 60% of our time of life in understanding what do we like doing and what are we good at. There's only this one thing that takes us either ahead of others or leaves us way behind. So now lets take up this..to know what it takes to find out our so called 'Passion'
Post in your views on this and we shall all lead to finally get it for YOU

Talk about passion.Talk about giving up worldly desires.Talk about sticking to what you do best.

Dang! You’re talking about Indian Ocean.

25 years. Dig this, for 25 years; these guys have just ‘wandered around, playing, singing folk songs like minstrels for peace’. Out of one vision, grew an entire experience called Indian Ocean.

But the ride wasn’t at all bliss. In a country rampant with a standard verse-chorus-verse music scene, where the musicians would seldom gain recognition, four ‘babas’ from Delhi emerged, telling people about various folk tales, current issues, through their songs which followed a simple pattern of music where no strict structure ruled the songs, they were based on musical scales (and not chords), hence, letting the music just flow like a river.

With Amit Kilam on drums,Susmit Sen on guitars,Rahul Ram on bass,Asheem Chakravarty on tabla and all of them sharing vocal duties, Indian Ocean made their foray onto the Indian music scene, with nothing but good music. No big names backing them. No inclination towards the run-of-the-mill type of Bollywood music. What they brought to the Hindi-language music scene was novel and pathbreaking.

All-in-all, what they did was just stick to their passion. Had they given up and sucked up to the corporate culture, the richness of folk music would’ve been away from our ears. Sure, times of tragedy struck them. Haughty record labels dismissed off their music as’ unsuitable for the masses’. The band, together, struggled balancing their day jobs and jam sessions.

Lord Krishna’s words, Indian Ocean just applied it to their way of living.
