Year End Sunset

When this calendar year ends, I am planning to stop updating this blog.

I have been at this 'Time Off' thing for 3.5 years. I will have 2 more months to make any new posts. I will try to post my lessons learned (hopefully they won't be platitudes.) There will be around 200 posts in all.

This blog was a good way to work out my thoughts and ideas in a somewhat public forum. But I feel that I have already shared whatever thoughts I wanted to share about taking sabbaticals/Time Off/Early Retirement.

3.5 years is roughly around 10% of most people's working lives. Seems like a decent point to stop this blog. And time to try something else.

Ram, are you planning to come out of your sabbatical?

Your posts have been wonderful. I enjoyed reading them and over time it gave me lots of good perspective on things.

I wish you best of luck.

I have enjoyed reading each of your updates.

If you do decide to come to an end by the close of 2012 can you give a detailed account of what you have been doing, what you think you will be doing and what you have learnt?

I hope you just keep the blog up in case you get re-inspired to throw up a few posts in the future. You never know. You might just get re-inspired to share future lessons after you stop thinking about the lessons.

Take it from one who took a blog-cation. It's a hard habit to break, sometimes you just get the urge to share your thoughts!
