Siddharth was seventy-five, but he moved with energy and walked with purpose. His mind was sharp, and his heart was full of life. People often asked him, “Siddharth Uncle, don’t you feel tired? Aren’t you slowing down?” He would smile and say, “Retirement sirf calendar pe hoti hai. Life doesn’t stop just because a date says so.” Siddharth was the youngest of six children. His father passed away when he was only eleven. Life changed suddenly. The family moved to a small rented home. Siddharth watched his siblings study, work, and care for the family. He learned early that life is about resilience and responsibility. He studied engineering and got a good job. But life tested him again. A colleague threatened him, and he became very depressed. Medical treatment helped him recover. Later, he became an insurance agent. It was a new start, a new purpose. His mother, widowed at forty, lived with him. He cared for her deeply. When she passed away at eighty-eight, he felt a great emptiness. For a while, loneliness weighed on him. But he decided not to let it define him. Siddharth rebuilt his life. He exercised, walked, read, and stayed connected with his family. He stayed close to his family, especially his nieces and nephews. Many young people in the neighborhood also sought his advice. They visited his home often, eager to hear his stories, his laughter, and the lessons he shared. Siddharth would tell them, “Life doesn’t end with retirement. You may leave a job, but your mind, heart, and skills continue to work. Experience is valuable at any age.”
