Question

Do you have a hobby ? Is there anything that you are passionate

about ? Something creative that you really like doing, or are deeply

involved with ? Something that grips you, makes you forget all else —

even makes you forget to eat or sleep ? No, I am not talking about your

job or your daily chores.

2 By developing a parallel line, other than that of your job, and following

it like crazy, you energise your life. It will keep you going even when

all other activities have stopped.

3 It did not make much sense to me until I ran into a retired officer

turned passionate writer. Let’s call him Mr. X.

4 What was amazing was his appearance. He looked 10 years younger

than his self-proclaimed 75 — dark grey hair, tall and robust.

Well-preserved, as some would say. ‘‘I don’t want to take much of your

time, but just wanted to show you my work,’’ he said. In his bag, he

was carrying dozens of books that he had written after retirement.

Short stories and novels in his mother tongue and in English, for

children and adults.

5 Mr. X retired after putting in 30 years of service. But he did not retire

from life. No way. ‘‘In fact, I lead a much busier life now — writing.’’

‘‘So writing is your hobby ?’’ I asked him. ‘‘No, it is my only interest.

While I was working, I did not have enough time to write. But now I

work 10 – 12 hours a day writing, writing, writing.’’​
