Sir,

This has reference to KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Secret to a Long and Happy Life” (based on the book Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life) published in SOM dated July 16. Here is the ultimate truth about old age by Benjamin Disraeli, a British Statesman and Conservative Politician:

“Youth is a blunder,

Manhood a struggle,

Old age, a regret.”
