    May his soul rest in peace. Retirement life is a resting life he should have spent with his family. As a personal advice to the aging people like me I to say with Ronald, Mangalore, never think you are healthy unless at least once in a year a BP checking monitor, a blood report and a doctor confirms that. Our creator has given some most IMPORTANT MACHINES inside our body like heart, liver, kidney, pancreas and other invisible things inside. Remember repairing these machines is extremely difficult, replacing them will be very expensive to maintain them to get along with our body.
