'At 70, who cares...' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Crossing 70, made me do a little bit of confused thinking today. Surely my life is almost over - well almost. So what is it that I would like from life in the remaining days?

My foremost wish, like every one else's, is to have, when the time comes, a quick, and as painless a death as possible.

The second wish needs some explaining. I have been a great admirer of Erich Von Daniken, Carl Sagan and Steven Spielberg. I find the idea of alien life extremely fascinating. And this brings me to my second wish - I would love to see, or at least read the confirmed news of aliens, looking not quite like us, arriving on earth during my little life that is left.......

The third wish is to see my son get married and raise a family.

I know there is a problem of lack of consistent logic in these three wishes, but then at 70, who cares!
