I started writing in earnest more than four years ago. Faced with prospect of imminent demise, I embarked on my long delayed memoire. Here then is a collection of my best columns over the course of these past four years. As the readers will see the prime focus of these columns has been on relationships, the problems of aging, the promise of technology and random musings on a diverse range of subjects from the lure of marmite to the new type of books in the future I do not know what the future holds in the limited span left for me, but this I do know, there is a bliss to be found in our lives humdrum, though they may be. And it behooves us to savor them as much as we can. I have really enjoyed researching and writing these pieces and I hope you too will dip into the book and read and enjoy these columns.
