About the Book

This book can be read from any page you open. It is meant for every walk of life, even a monk might find few tips for a healthy spiritual life. The chapter on "Single Meal" is targeted to monks, since I find many of them do not practice what they preach. There is something for everybody from childhood to retirement and beyond. If the reader is a child, he/she could read only the early chapters. Then he/she can close he book and start reading the other chapters as he/she grows up. I have focused on slowing down the pace of life not retarding individual talents. The idea is to enjoy each phase to the fullest. One reason I want to write this book was most of my heroes died in their prime. Why? I call it "burnout syndrome" for some. For others the causes vary from drugs, to alcohol, to accidents and even murder. I propose a strategy that "It is better not to know one is intelligent or talented in early childhood". If one is talented let us not push him or her to stardom early and burn them out. Worse push them to commit suicide early in their life. Ian Murdoch who died recently was a case in point. He was the Debian Developer. Linux celebrated its 20th anniversary not so long ago. Ian was 42 and one could guess he was in his twenties when he developed a new system and the Debian distribution. Whereas Linus Torvalds in his mid forties who is the creator of the Linux kernel and for a long time, its principal developer is in a different mode, doing things for fun. He could outsmart his professor but still remains calm and composed. I have taken the above two examples since I invested my time promoting Linux and was a late adopter of Linux. There is only 1% in this entire world who uses Linux Distribution for work. But it does not bother me and I do not try to convert anybody. To take the boredom out of my mind I write about Linux Coming from a medical background the fields are in two opposing poles as it were (now away from medical limelight). Medicine is demanding at times but most of the time as a pathologist it was boring to say the least. Medicine is in my right, dominant and boring brain. Linux is on the other side of the brain, in my creative brain. In other words I am using both sides of the brain. I want others to do the same. Being a trained pathologist, I try to look at life (drugs, alcohol, suicide and murder) events with a critical mind. I am not trying to change people. I want people to be happy and active and have productive life and work into their twilight zones with energy, reflection and dignity. Even though, I practice Moment Meditation as a tool, it sometimes keeps me in the blind side of creative life. I have designed a practice called Zeroing Digitally (no meditation but a better outcome) to enhance the creative side of my work. The outcome was a book on Dark Matter and a Hypothesis to go with it. Those books are futuristic science only a few will read. Below is a few passages from the book. This may be the shortest time spell of one's life cycle but may be the trickiest time of all. Everybody else except yourself is wanting to see when you are going to kick the bucket. This is specially so, if you have already written your will. Your pension or your saving is not enough to sustain your living standard. Even if you still have a motorcycle or moped or a car, you are a liability on the road. Your vision is poor, your hearing is modest, above all your reflexes are slow and the rackety car is creaking, and the driving becomes a death exercise in real time and broad day light. I have few secrets for you to steer this period intelligently. Going to old age home is the worse one can think of. Occupying a hospital bed with malingering some yet not discovered illness by the medical fraternity is not the way round. Practicing meditation is not the way to wild away the time. It becomes boring in no time and you drop to sleep in a unrealistic trance. The idea of this book is to arouse your creativity!
