Info: Future essays

I have written what I wanted to write about my retirement here in Hawaii, about Hawaii, and about seniors. 

I will write additional essays in the future on retired life in Hawaii if:

  • I feel a strong desire to do it
  • The local people I talk to really want it. 
  • Discussion with my wife to put aside the time to write it. 
It is very unlikely any new essays will be written though unless it is a Personal Nutrition/Health/Cooking  or Personal Vacation/Travel  or Personal Finance during retirement essay. Occasionally may write about A Personal Retirement activity if of general interest. For now this blogsite is dormant. 

Total number of essays = 18 + future ones. 

A frozen separate blogsite jaykasi.blogspot.com with over 200 essays covers a wide variety of topics that include Politics, Economics, Government, Finance, International, India, Hawaii, History, Travel, Spirituality, Ethics, Science, Technology, Career and Personal Experiences.

Accessibility1: AI assistance for seniors with vision Impairment

Frozen March 31, 2026 (updated chatbot analysis at end on 4/21/2026 and added apple voice control on 5/15/2026. Refrozen on 5/19/2026). Possible tweaks for more clarity.  INTRODUCTION: Many seniors experience some degree of vision decline over time, even if mild or correctible. This proposes a practical, actually working, AI-assisted accessibility system for seniors with vision challenges, built around four principles: Large Screen First Thinking. Design interactions around the largest available display (TV, desktop, tablet, IPhone) to reduce visual strain and improve clarity.  Voice as the primary interface. Use voice assistants (Siri, Gemini, ChatGPT, Voice Control) to minimize reliance on small screens and manual input.  Redundancy as a Pillar. Things break. Ensure multiple ways to perform the same task (eg., Streaming + cable backup, phone + tablet, voice + screen) Real World AI usage. Focus on practical daily use cases (calls, messages, weather, email summari...

Cooking in Retirement: Proteins and Fibers in Legumes and other foods I use

  When cooking, I particularly focus on four things:  What is the spice/sauce base? What is the protein source (typically a legume or meat)? Is there adequate fiber? What are the vegetables added (same dish or separate dish) to complete it? Many legumes are a rich source of plant based protein and fiber. Besides fiber, the carbs they have are mainly complex carbs which are better for you than simple carbs or starch.  The veggies we generally use are  Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower, Asparagus,  Carrots, Green Beans,  Daikon and other Radishes, Zucchini, Tomatoes, Onions, and Bell Peppers - also starting to eat Okra and Eggplant.  Of these, the vegetables with good protein content are Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower, and Asparagus. The vegetables with good fiber content are Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower, Asparagus, Carrots, Green Beans and Okra . A few like Zucchini, Tomatoes and B...

Health In Retirement: My retirement health philosophy lately

I wasn't going to write any more essays except travel ones, but thought I will share this.  I don't give medical or nutrition advice to anyone because I am not qualified. But I need to follow some guidelines for myself. It has to be fairly simple and doable for me to adopt. Here is what I try to follow. Nutrition Eat balanced, home-cooked meals using minimally processed and, when feasible, organic ingredients. Include a protein source in each meal (e.g., legumes such as urad, lentils, edamame, or lean meats like chicken, fish, eggs, or turkey). Include vegetables and adequate fiber in daily meals. Use supplements only when prescribed , except possibly one daily multivitamin/mineral and essential fatty acids (Omega-3/6/9) if personally necessary and approved by a doctor. Lifestyle Exercise regularly in a way that fits my abilities and schedule. Get 7–8 hours of sleep , recognizing that consistency is something I’m still working on. Live normally withou...
