# The Story of Retired Kalam

A Creative Hub for Passionate Souls

I’m often asked the question: “What is Retired Kalam? Why did you create it, and what purpose does it serve?”

To many, the name might evoke images of stillness or nostalgia, but the reality is quite the opposite. Retired Kalam is not just a blog; it’s a living, breathing community for creative souls like me who refuse to let age define them.

It’s a space that offers inspiration, reflection, and an outlet for those who have something to say, create, and share.

The blog was born out of a personal quest. After spending decades in the banking industry, I stepped into retirement with an unshakable question: What’s next?

You see, retirement can either be a time of endless possibilities or a season of stagnation. I chose the former, and Retired Kalam became my bridge from the structured corporate world to the limitless world of creativity.

One of the primary purposes of Retired Kalam is to serve as a platform for self-expression. During my years in banking, I spent little time pursuing artistic or literary interests.

But once I had the time, I discovered a deep-seated love for writing, poetry, painting, and storytelling. This blog became my canvas for exploring and sharing these newfound passions.

Through stories, poems, personal essays, and reflections, I offer my thoughts on life, relationships, and the lessons I’ve learned.

Whether I’m writing about the thrill of an impromptu trip to Darjeeling, reflecting on spiritual journeys in Gangtok, or penning poems on life’s joys and sorrows, the goal is to express not just the thoughts of a retired professional, but of a person continually growing and evolving.

And it’s not just about me. Retired Kalam is for anyone who feels like they have a story to tell but maybe doesn’t know where to start. It’s a place where creativity thrives and where one can find their voice.

As the name suggests, Retired Kalam is indeed tailored to the post-retirement phase of life. But here’s the catch: it’s not about slowing down—it’s about revving up.

Many people, like myself, step into retirement thinking that the adventure is over. In reality, it’s just beginning. This blog is a testament to that.

Through Retired Kalam, I seek to connect with like-minded explorers who see retirement not as the end of their journey but as the beginning of a new chapter.

Whether it’s through discussions on mindfulness, fitness routines, or artistic endeavors, the blog encourages its readers to find purpose, joy, and fulfillment in the everyday.

Moreover, Retired Kalam provides insights into how one can continue learning, growing, and contributing even after retiring from a traditional career.

From posts on brain health and cognitive function to stories of centenarians who still work part-time, the blog serves as a reminder that life doesn’t have an expiry date when it comes to purpose.

Another significant aspect of Retired Kalam is its focus on wellness and personal growth. After retirement, many individuals struggle to maintain their physical and mental well-being.

The shift from a structured work life to a more relaxed pace can sometimes lead to unhealthy habits.

I believe strongly in the importance of maintaining a healthy routine, and I’ve shared my own experiences with fitness, mindfulness, and self-care on the blog.

From fitness routines that can easily be integrated into daily life to the benefits of staying mentally sharp through reading, writing, and artistic expression, Retired Kalam offers practical tips for living a healthy, happy post-retirement life.

It’s not just about keeping the body in shape—it’s about nourishing the mind and soul, too. I’ve written about everything from the health benefits of garlic to how art and creativity can improve cognitive function.

These are topics I’ve researched and experimented with, and I find joy in sharing what works with others.

Lastly, Retired Kalam is about leaving a legacy—not just for myself, but for everyone who reads and contributes to it.

This blog is a living document of my post-retirement journey, a place where I can store my thoughts, experiences, and creative work.

I hope that it serves as a source of inspiration for others who are entering or living through retirement, proving that this phase of life can be just as vibrant and fulfilling as any other.

Yes, friends, through short videos, paintings, heartfelt stories, and thoughtful reflections, I hope to inspire others to follow their own creative paths. It’s never too late to pick up a new hobby, learn a new skill, or discover a hidden passion.

So, what is Retired Kalam for? It’s for anyone who refuses to let age be a barrier to creativity and self-expression. It’s a community, a resource, and a legacy—a place where passion and purpose meet.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, wellness tips, or just a good story, I invite you to join me on this journey. After all, retirement is just the beginning of the next great adventure.

BE HAPPY….BE ACTIVE….BE FOCUSED….BE ALIVE…

    • Yes, Retired Kalam is a relatively new project for me.
      It started as a way to channel my creative energy after retiring from my banking career. I’ve always been passionate about writing, painting, and self-expression, but it wasn’t until retirement that I truly had the time to explore these interests fully.
      The blog has grown into a platform where I can share my thoughts, experiences, and creative works .
      It’s been an exciting and fulfilling endeavor, and I’m eager to see how it continues to evolve.
