2016

I'm 66. Officially closer to 70 than 60.

It's a big year. Jo and I have decided we don't need to work any more. JS Consultants started in 1986. I got to do my best work with my favorite work and life partner for 30 years and we had a lot of fun doing it. JS Consultants built a strong brand in Bangalore and we never spent a dime on marketing, ie, every one of our clients came from other happy clients. Let's see what's next.

You can see I look quite relaxed and relieved.

So this is what's happening in the ooru today..

I didn't appreciate the tone as I started to read the last headline till I realized they didn't mean it like that.

Anyway, time for some bday Mysore Paak.
