Retirement is usually linked with no stress, independence, and more relaxing time. However, it also brings monotony to life. After years of working, when retirement brings a sudden stop to it, many people find themselves on the brink of beginning a new way of life sans a purpose. But people who have a purpose are those who inspire others. Recently, the news of Jay Kishore Pradhan having cleared the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) after retirement has drawn tremendous attention. His story is inspiring for both young and old alike. According to a Hindustan Times report, he retired from the State Bank of India (SBI) as a deputy manager. Then, he enrolled in an online programme to pursue his long-held interest in medical science.
