live a life

i set up my retirement dates from active work. sep 13 - 2010 is the day when i permanently relocate to another place and just be, just live.
what a difference it has made with my approach now. i have a year left; 358 days or so and there is so much do.
simplify is the mantra now;

1. figuring out what i need to achieve is what it started with - work related and sustainence when i move out of the urban setup
   
2. i started throwing dreams and thoughts out of the window which are worthless and materialistic.
3. i am finding ways to detach from business, simplifying it - by putting together people who are interested in continuing - if it gets difficult - i shut down.
   
4. i am in the process of getting rid of stuff that is useless - my jeep is going first. all the expensive equipment that is worthless in a year from now is up for sale
5. where will i move to? a shack in the countryside is almost complete
6. for simple living; a monthly minimum budget is what i am working on. i will grow my own vegetables and other necessities that i can manage
   
7. how will i support that? some agriculture, a simple small guesthouse which does not take much of my time will be set up in the 358days to go, find other easy no-stress revenue streams
8. what i cannot live with? a motorcycle (which i have), some music, books, phone for emergencies and to run the guesthouse and some more simple gadgets
9. these are things that i can think of as of now. looks simple so far.
   

sep 15th - i plan to celebrate with a good friend out there on one of the hairpin bends of the segur ghats from where all of this began. ur invited if ur around. mind u it is a weekday..
