Satish kumar sofat
Satish is happily retired but busier than ever — daily walks, billiards, table tennis, bridge, and endless cups of tea with friends! Retirement, for him, is just a full-time job without a boss or a salary.
A connoisseur of lunches, dinners, and world travel, he has explored much of the globe — sometimes with his gang of friends and sometimes with his favourite travel companion, his wife.
My philosophy is simple: walk a little, play a little, travel a lot, eat well, and never miss tea with friends. After all, life is too short to stay at home when there’s a game to lose, a meal to enjoy, or a new country to explore!
