Balance
sheet of my Life by S.Krishnamurthy 663 Mech
Someone said that birth is the opening stock and death is the closing stock of a person’s balance
sheet. Health and education are the current assets and character is the fixed asset. Children are the dividends
and pleasure and pain are the interest income. Birth as a human being could be karma
palan and is considered a great boon as per the Hindu belief. Whatever
happens between birth and death is governed by the effects of ill or noble acts in
the previous births. However Shanakaracharya says that there could be mid
course corrections using one’s own buddhi.
So much for the Vedanta part of life. Born as the
youngest in a humble family among 8
siblings , my birth star chithirai is said to have driven my father to the
streets on four legs. Brought up by eldest brother I grew
up in Tambaram . Studied in National
School College
of Engineering
When I reflect on the mid course corrections good fortune played a major role in my academic career . There were no surprises in the professional
career except the exit part. When one door shuts another opens as it happened
in my life with my son passing out C.A and getting employed when I left Tatas
in 1996. Both my son and daughter are married and am blessed with three grand
daughters that include a twins. There were no great opportunities knocking at my door after retirement and am leading a
peaceful life.
Having gone through
many turn of events , opportunities / disappointments etc I can advise the posterity to listen to
one’s elders and you would stand to gain. Enjoying a comparatively healthy life my only prayer is to depart without
giving too much trouble to my dependents.
