By: M K Devidasan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Retirement is not the end—it’s a new beginning.
After decades of structure, responsibility, and recognition, retirement can feel like a sudden void. The days that once raced by now seem endless. The silence once desired can become unsettling. Many retirees find themselves struggling with questions of identity, purpose, and meaning.
After Retirement – How to Avoid Boredom is a powerful and practical guide that helps you transform this uncertain phase into the most rewarding chapter of your life.
Written by Wing Commander (Retd.) M. K. Devidasan, who himself turned his post-retirement years into a journey of service and creativity, this book blends wisdom, real-life experiences, and actionable advice.
Through deeply engaging chapters, the author explores:
✅ How to redefine purpose and find joy beyond your career.
✅ Ways to maintain health, emotional balance, and mental fitness.
✅ How to start small businesses, NGOs, or training centers to empower others.
✅ The joy of creative expression through writing, art, or music.
✅ How to stay financially stable, socially connected, and spiritually peaceful.
Drawing from his own journey as the founder of the Rajiv Gandhi Education Foundation, which provides skill training and employment to youth and women across Kerala, and as an active author of both fiction and non-fiction, Devidasan shows how retirement can be an age of purpose, not pause.
This book is for everyone approaching retirement—or already living it—who wishes to remain relevant, inspired, and productive. It teaches you to replace boredom with passion, routine with purpose, and uncertainty with enthusiasm.
Live fully till your last breath. Don’t count the years—make the years count.
