I never got a chance to spend time with my grandparents but I see my son chat to his nanaji online for hours sharing his daily life, jokes, studies etc and it fills my heart to see their close bond inspite of the physical distance and generation gap. It will be heart breaking to see him avoiding his nanaji :-(Indian in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775633461738007949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-66558059966643322992008-04-06T01:22:00.000+07:002008-04-06T01:22:00.000+07:00I can join them when they talk about M.J.Gopalan a...I can join them when they talk about M.J.Gopalan and C.R..Rangachari. But I am nonplussed if they go into ecstasies over M.K.Thyagaraja Bhagavadhar or S.G.Kittappa. But there is a thrill in talking about olden days and many are fond of this. If you look back at the distance travelled, the miles ahead becomes easier and this is nature's way of providing us inspiration. <BR/><BR/>As age advances, innovation dries up and hence the stale jokes.

You'll be one of a kind!<BR/><BR/>Think about it, you'll be the first senior citizen lady standup in all of Bangalore. How cool is that!<BR/><BR/>Either case, you'll age gracefully and perennially young at heart. This I believe.Altoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905810697784377192noreply@blogger.com
