[www.keralites.net] The Legacy Of The Golden Year!

 

The Legacy Of The Golden Year!   In the cold winds of a village in North India, living out the golden years of life is a pleasure. The pure water that flows through the mountains and the crisp air keep worry and sickness at bay. Though their skin may be wrinkled and arms thin, the elderly of Himachal Pradesh look after themselves with agility that can put anyone in their youth to shame. Their sparkling eyes tell stories of many seasons gone and many that are yet to come.   This series follows the lives of 'Bulandi Devi' of 103 years old, a man 'Laxman Das' of 98 years old, 'Revtu Ram' of 110 Years old, 'Bahadur singh' of 101 years old, 'Bhagat ram' of 76 years old, 'Lata devi' of 86 years old and 'Sarla devi' of 72 years old. They stand witness to the fact that old age doesn't have to be a burden, lived off the comfort of someone else's shoulders. Their days are just like anyone's – filled with energy and activity. Their zest for life and will power belies the fact that they are all aged between 95 to 110 years of age. In a world where the elderly are plagued by sickness and misery, do they know something that we do not?   The secret is simple. They live in a pure, untainted habitat in mountains of Himachal Pradesh. Their whole lives have been spent away from the grime, dust and worry of city life. Their nurture has always come from the earth, never from a factory-made packet. The serene villages and mountains of Himachal Pradesh offer more than beautiful landscapes and holiday getaways. These places hold the key to a fulfilled life, one that we city dwellers all desire but that always seems out of reach. We can learn truly to switch off the machines and connect with the very earth that we are made of. Pure, simple, and elemental. That is key to living a long, healthy and peaceful existence.     Revtu Ram (120 years) Bulandi Devi (103 years) Bulandi Devi, true to her name, lives out her old age with full energy and zest for life Her spectacular shoes amazed me. The shoes are crafted of sheep wool. This helps keep warm in the extreme winters of Himachal and even walk in 7 to 8 feet of snow Laxman Das (98 years) As he Chatted with me, this elderly man recounted his glorious 97 years of life and told me that he is now awaiting, with contentment, the final few years Laxman Das was gaunt with deep wrinkles in his neck. Yet, he is still hardy enough to walk for miles on the hard, cold roads Bahadur Singh (101 years) Sarla Devi (72 years). Ladies in himachal have the capacity to excel in everything. Initiating from taking care of kids, cooking to working in public sectors, they are and always have been an epitome of excellence Bhagat Ram (76 years). A shepherd by profession, he takes his flock to the highest of hills so they can eat pure herbs Lata Devi (86 years). I met this lady(86 years old) sitting on the roadside and there she was busy in weaving some threads of wool, which will contribute in making woolen shawls

[www.keralites.net] Sandhya Sharma and Sharat Gupta after 20 Years in the US, This Couple Now Makes Learning Fun in a Remote Village

 

Sandhya Sharma and Sharat Gupta After 20 Years in the US, This Couple Now Makes Learning Fun in a Remote Village 

Both Sandhya and Sharat hold PhD's and have worked in the US for about 20 years. When they returned to India, they chose to settle in Kandbari.

Bharat, a teacher at Aavishkaar, patiently waits in the classroom with books featuring bright pictures and bold letters. An alumnus of IIT Chennai, he chose to work with Aavishkaar over a 9-5 job and finds happiness in teaching mathematics to children.

However, Aavishkaar, a brainchild of Sandhya Sharma and Sharat Gupta, is a ray of hope for children to drive away the twin monsters of maths and science.

Subsequently, Sandhya and Sharat established Aavishkaar in 2012. Through the NGO, they reach out to students and teachers with their innovative methods of understanding mathematics, physics and chemistry.

They are assisted by a vibrant team which includes graduates from reputed institutions. "We do not advertise. They find us. Many foreigners want to volunteer during our workshops, but we teach in Hindi," says Sandhya.

Aavishkar has had quite a few success stories, and one of them is Rajeshwar, a 15-year-old boy. He is the son of a carpenter, and although he developed an affinity for woodwork at an early age, he did not know what the future held. Now a Class 10 student at a school for low-income families near his house, he is confident of realising his dream of becoming an engineer and credits Aavishkaar with giving him the necessary understanding of maths and science—the two subjects which are crucial for him to realise his dream.

Aavishkaar has also trained teachers of Teach for India, Youthreach and other organisations working with government schools across the country, and has also conducted teacher training workshops for Himachal Pradesh and Delhi governments. The centre has also been invited to work with private schools..

[www.keralites.net] Yes, I am a SENIOR CITIZEN.!

Yes, I am a SENIOR CITIZEN.!

 And I am feeling proud.!

Some cause happiness wherever they go,
 others whenever they go………!
 
Some senior citizens are being criticized for the present deficiencies of our modern world;
 real or imaginary, present or past, foreign or domestic.
 
We take responsibility for all our actions and omissions;
we do not try to blame others for
 our past imperfections, ignorance or failures.

Our generation saved the World from Fascism, Communism, and Racism, while we raised the Standard of Living, Health Care, and Life Expectancy.

 

HOWEVER, upon reflection , we would like to point out that it was NOT  senior citizens who took:

The melody out of music,

The   pride   out of appearance,

The   courtesy   out of driving,

The   romance   out of love,

The   commitment   out of marriage,

The   responsibility   out of parenthood,

The   togetherness   out of the family,

The   learning   out of education,

The service out of patriotism,

The   Golden Rule   from rulers,

The   civility   out of behavior,

The   refinement   out of language,

The   dedication   out of employment,

The   prudence   out of spending,

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience

and tolerance from personal relationships, and interactions with others on a face to face basis!!

  And, we DO understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have   fought and died for our country.

 YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN !

 I'm the life of the party . . .
 even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
 

I'm very good at opening childproof caps . . ..   
With a hammer.
 

I'm awake many hours before my
body allows me to get up.
 

I'm smiling all the time, because
I can't hear a thing you're saying.
 

I'm sure everything I can't find is
 in a safe secure place, somewhere.
 

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg; but I haven't made my skin look like wall paper or snake skin.

 My ears, nose, tongue, or navel haven't been pieced with metal rings.

 I'm beginning to realize that ageing is not for wimps.
 
Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN, and I think I am having the time of my life!  

Now if I could only remember who
 sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them.

Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends anyway.
They won't remember, even if they did send it.

Spread the laughter   
Share the cheer   
Let us   be happy   
While we're here.
