ARE YOU A DESIGNATED SENIOR CITIZEN?
Congratulations!
You are honored. We are all happy. Time to smile,cheer up & celebrate!
But wait a minute.
How are you experiencing the new Avatar?
Are you happy or sad?
Can you narrate your feelings?
Have you ever faced discrimination? Are you sure?
Come on my friend. Don’t feel shy.
I know that you have realized something important.
And the worst part of being honored as a senior citizen is that nobody cares who you are anymore!
Don’t get depressed.It’s common and it happens and it’s nothing to do with the gender,colour,race,creed,religion or nation.
Rare exceptions are possible and you can be the most loved figure in the family,society and in your town with everybody adoring you.Your advises and suggestions are very much respected.
Are you not one of those lucky senior citizens?
Do you regret becoming old because your words are not given any importance and thus….
SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED AS A SENIOR CITIZEN?

CARE OF ELDERS VS CHILDREN
Always this particular doubt lingers in my mind as to why don’t we care for older people as much as children?
Are we not aware that a society is measured by how it cares for elderly people?
Are we not responsible for elders undergoing ‘inferiority complex’ because of our behaviors towards them?
IS GROWING OLD A COUNT DOWN OR COUNT UP?
“The best thing about growing older is that one is not yet dead !”

IS THERE ANY ADDED VALUE TO THE OLD PEOPLE’S ADVICE?
Most of the younger generation make fun of old people since senior citizens are not in sync with modern developments and handling of the latest gadgets etc.
These young kids always feel their senior citizens are experts in spreading the boredom with their outdated stories!
