Living in a small city, I too feel sometimes that metro cities are a better option.
But what I truly crave for is to live somewhere like Mangalore....total peace.
After all, we can always go to a metro city, but a peaceful home is what we all yearn for.
And you are definitely enjoying a semi-retired life...this is the kind of life I have seen people planning for after their retirement...a beautiful beach, silence...couple of friends...life is good.
I like how you worded it. Many of my friends now are thinking about this-just as how our parents did which is to keep all the good times for a post-retirement life and not live today enjoying these moments.
I don't envy the busy life during the week and parties scheduled on the weekends anymore. Initially when I moved back I missed the busy life in Delhi/NCR region. I'm now free to chill any day of the week now which is a better trade off. It would be nice to do this for a long time to come indeed!
I live in Banglore, though I like it because of the weather but it does not give the satisfaction of living. My aim is to settle done in some village or some hill station after retire or after getting financial independence.
Exactly the same feeling. Wanna go back to my native and take over the farm from my uncle and stay between the greens, grow what I want to eat, may not be everything, but most of it. And some plans to a residual income source too. I'm not sure if it takes 5 yrs, 10 yrs, but I have that strong feeling of going back ther when it's right for me.
Note: not married yet(plans may change and anything can happen after marriage) lol true that
That's true, the priorities changes after getting married. I am just convincing my wife to follow me to stay a normal life. Let's hope she understands :P
It's always the other side of the mountain 😊
It's a big deal to move to a metro city and live ther for few yrs. Only you are forced back to the town or village life, you ll love it the first day, the second and may be a week. Later on the everything starts moving slowly with time. It would be boring if you are not finding a restaurant to hang out and the weekend parties will be missed.
I dont want to be that guy, but still that's hard and takes time to get used to super fast internet to the slower mobile internet.
Had seen Panchayat on amazon prime. That is kind of a flavour it would look like. It slow but if you are bored and not finding anything, then you should try 😊
Btw, love the photographys you caught by the sea and your edits look 👌
True that! Currently I can't be without internet, especially high-speed internet. So anything slower than what I have would really suck. Mobile data is not dependable, not in our country.
As for weekend parties, I think i've had more than my share already. I don't feel like missing out on much anymore. But, I wouldn't live in an Indian village setting. My city life is already slow. I miss an active night life for sure as I enjoy heading out late which I make up for when I visit our metros.
Thanks for appreciating the pictures and your comment.
Nice weekend my friend, I liked the photos of the place you visited .. About life in big or small cities, I think we need both because I rediscover the charm of a small city. To write, create and paint, it's much more pleasant, sitting by a river and a cleaner air ... It's a better, more peaceful place to grow old. For business, it's the big cities. One does not exclude the other. Do you think like a student, like an employee, or like an entrepreneur or an independent person?
Its true. Each has its positives. I think more like an independent person now I guess because its easier to manage all aspects of what I do on my own at the moment. Not sure if this answers your question. I was an entrepreneur once in the sense that I employed people and had a good team of individuals working for me. But, eventually I went solo which was in-line with my longer term goals, changing work environment and situations in life.
Thanks dude. Glad to see some good feedback on this post. I would love to have a place in the mountains someday as much as something next to a beautiful beach so I can switch places with the seasons or whenever I felt like it.
Currently I live 5 mins from the nearest beach so I think this is fine for now. However, I also think sometimes if I really want to get tied up in all this when I could be anywhere and do anything? The idea long ago was to have a location flexible work which I was able to make it happen to an extent.
Knowing you are relaxing right now, when do you say STOP in life and relax?
I'm not sure I have the short answer to this yet because I haven't been able to completely stop working and just relax. Not sure I ever will. It's kinda quarter-way-there situation right now I guess. Because you see, everyone has different goals and there may not be one perfect solution.
Personally, I have only just slowed things down to a pace that I am comfortable with. I mean sure I can wake up and not be forced to work. But I can't stop being productive every day so I end up working or learning something new or keeping myself occupied positively but it doesn't feel like a chore as I only do the things I enjoy doing, some of this earns me my money too so far fortunately.
I don't know if there's an expiry date to all this but im sure there will be as with everything in this world. But I take things one day at a time so this hasn't worried me. I've started from scratch a few times to get this far and if needed I can and will do it all over again. :)
The longer term plan is to be free of having to earn a living and find out what more the world has to offer in all the experiences its got out there for me. I have a fairly large bucket list even as I've ticked off several things on it already. I don't have any huge materialistic goals but I'd like to gain more life experiences.
It still seems within reach but there's a lot more work to be done before I can hit the road for a long time and not look back for a while. :)

Very nice sunset friend, the beach looks certain lol greetings. I am fond of this type of sunset photos ... good photos ...
Thanks man! I enjoy these evenings by the beach.
I love going to the beach to fish brother, that distracts me and relaxes a lot and more in this quarantine hehehe greetings thanks for responding ..
That's cool. :)
Wow that's one long post!
Is that your only take away from this?
Tbh, yes, not exactly a reader, more towards the visual spectrum.
That's fine. You have plenty of that on Hive. :)
I'm fairly new here, getting to know that gradually 😁
After longtime you appeared in old style along with beautiful views. Happy to see in this style.
Thanks dude! :)
I live in Banglore, though I like it because of the weather but it does not give the satisfaction of living. My aim is to settle done in some village or some hill station after retire or after getting financial independence.
That's a good plan. I love the mountains too and sometimes wish I had a home in a place like Himachal or Uttarakhand!
Exactly the same feeling. Wanna go back to my native and take over the farm from my uncle and stay between the greens, grow what I want to eat, may not be everything, but most of it. And some plans to a residual income source too. I'm not sure if it takes 5 yrs, 10 yrs, but I have that strong feeling of going back ther when it's right for me.

Thanks a lot sir, wish we dont get pushed into something we dont want to be in 😊

The title and the content. 🎉
You have a way of expressing.
My lifelong dream is to stay away from a city (rat race it is) and get into a farmhouse filled with gardens... and peace... as I watch the sunset.
Knowing you are relaxing right now, when do you say STOP in life and relax?

Wow, what a beauty. This, I understand, is a sea of inspiration. Fabulously beautiful place. Have a good time)
Thank you :)
