Ex-DEO devotes maximum time to his favourite subject

Gurbaxpuri

Tarn Taran, April 16

Piara Singh Talwar (70), a retired District Education Officer (DEO), has been enjoying his free time during the lockdown period. He has focused on keeping himself mentally and physically fit.

He has inculcated the habit of watching TV and listening to radio in his granddaughters. He spends more than two hours with them. He has learnt using social media from where he gets information about various cultures. He also explores the Internet to read about Sikh history.

The resident of Tarn Taran, who used to visit the local Darbar Sahib in the morning and in the evening before the lockdown period, has prepared a timetable to spend his day wisely. He said he had hardly found proper time for recreational activities with his family members. Talwar said these days, he had been devoting the maximum time to his favourite religious subject.

Besides, he listens to the Gurbani and performs ‘path’ for three hours in the morning and evening. “I have been enjoying nature these days as I have planted different verities of plants in my herbal kitchen garden. I have also planted a sapling of peepal in a big pot. I walk at the roof top for one hour in the morning,” he said. He said to stay fit, he stresses on balanced thinking and sits together with his family members in the day.
