Being a Senior Citizen

I am not a senior citizen yet. But how come I am a member in a Senior Citizens’ Forum !
Thanks to ISCF, for honouring me ( I am still very young , you know !) with a membership in ISCF.
Oh .. let me tell you about ISCF.. It’s a Forum of Senior Citizens, retired from ISRO.
Yesterday, in its regular monthly meeting, about 40 persons attended. I too did attend.

The main attraction of attending this meeting is that one can meet their seniors (by age) and colleagues – otherwise no one takes effort to go and meet - and renew their relationships.
What I am now telling you is about my meeting yesterday with some OLD friends. I met many of my senior colleagues, Mr. N Velappan Nair, Mr. K V. Mathew, Mr. M K Bhaskaran Nair, among many others. Mr. P Radhjakrishnan, Dr. Manoranjan Rao, and many more .

Mr. NV Nair, my senior colleague, retired over 10 years ago, was a specialist in Russian Electronic and MET payload systems. He lives at Karamana, with his family. Quite happy life, I understand.
Mr. NV Nair is an important personality to me; because he has been the key person in realizing my cottage by Sri. Laurie Baker. For the first instance, when I approached Mr. Baker, he declined to take up my request. Later, Sri. NV Nair intervened, and with his influence, Sri. Baker was kind enough to take up my requirement of building a unique cottage, my dream home.

Mr. KV Mathew , an Electronics Engineer, specialist in Payload Electronics systems, is a very interesting and clever personality. He owes me some money ! He did not pay the full agreed amount of money, when he bought my scooter. That’s about 20 years ago !  One cannot forget KVM's smiling (laughing) face.

Mr. M K Bhaskaran Nair, now 75, is a very dynamic, positive and interesting personality. A very positive person, I remember I met him on 4 March, 1972, at his integration Lab ( of the erstwhile “STR” Division of SSTC). He is a spiritual person , with spirits in and out. I like him, I respect him. MKB is always happy; he cannot be unhappy anytime.

And there were many veterans.. the list is long.
May I wish all these good men , the best of health, wealth, peace, and HAPPINESS for ever.
