Say it Second Innings!

‘Naatu, Naatu’ dance song that won Oscar music this year.

You would have seen the high-beat dance tune and aerobics.

And looked at the unassuming music composer Mr. Keeravani from South India.

He is not new to music industry. He has been working as music composer for 35+ years. What is surprising is that he was about to retire or take a long break from his work. Life work in mysterious ways. He got a huge break with that tune appearing in a most popular movie. Fans across all social media broke records. And he was not expecting Oscar for this!

You call it second innings or some mystery. It happens when the individual mentally decides to retire from his/her career. Man proposes, God disposes — as the saying goes. This has happened to President Biden when he thought he will just one more last effort. Many popular artists became popular after the age of 60. Another Oscar surprise: Michelle Yeah at 60 for Best Actress in a leading role this year.

So if you are wondering about your own state (or) wish what else could have been done for betterment in work — think of retiring first. Many doors may open up soon, while some windows got closed previously in your life!
