Thanks. Write up is about a routine day in the life of elders but he made it interesting to read. Hope we have more Iyer type of people- ready to extend a helping hand, when needed. God bless these folks.

When he was working, I used to meet him in the lobby or the lift occasionally. After he retired, occasions we meet are few and far between. He was returning after a walk and just to say something he said : "It's getting hot. Oldies like us should remain inside the house during daytime"* *I said : "You can't say that to me. You're 20 years younger" **He ascertained my age and confirmed he was of course 15 years younger.* *Wishing a nice day to Ranade, I proceeded to meet Iyer and Capoor. Both are in their 80's, but had different personality traits. About that later. Iyer had just returned from his native place in the far south and Capoor doesn't travel much.* *Iyer's daughter works for a media group. Mrs and Mr Iyer had spent some time with their elder daughter in Chennai and were with Iyer's 97 years old MiL for about two months.* *Iyer was talking about High Court lawyer Menon whom he accidentally met the previous evening. Menon, in addition to his fairly busy work as an advocate, goes for lectures in law colleges and for motivation talks for the benefit of groups doing social work.* *Capoor enjoys participating in the equity market more for timepass. Restricted mobility owing to age-related issues is the only constraint for him.* *Iyer is a spiritual seeker, motivator and a ready-to-help-tell-me-what-I can do for you -person, all in one, age 84! He practices "Vipasana" (a branch of meditation). * *By spending 20 minutes with such people you get recharged for the rest of the day.* *I returned home.* *M.G.Warrier* ************************* *Chittanandam* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
