Ruparelia: What can senior citizens do for Society
This document by Sri MV Ruparelia beautifully enumerates many (innovative) activities how senior citizens can help society.
Also tells comprehensively what various segments of our society can do to senior citizens. My only observation is that this write up is too selfishly "senior-centric", totally ignoring the truth that we are just one part of the whole. The whole world can not and should not think of senior citizens all 24 hours of 365 days of the year.

Google and I
This refers to Sri Govindarajan's message (reproduced below) giving link to Perry Mason Novels
Very useful for oldies like us who lived in ESG (Earle Stanley Gardner) era.
Indeed, that Bihar Public Service Commission website is an Odd place to look for it.
Only Google could have led you to this source.
Last night, I woke up midway after an alarming horrific dream:
Google had suddenly disappeared without a trace like MH370.
I was so shattered and confused that I sat up dazed.
Then I started Isha Kriya Meditation to calm my mind.
Started repeating: "I am not the Body; I am not even the Mind"
Then I could not recollect the third sentence that follows the above two;
However much I tried my memory failed.
Got up, (it was 3:10 am) switched on the PC and searched Google.
Got instructions for Isha Kriya meditation from Isha Yoga site.
Discovered to my utter surprise and relief that there are only two sentences to repeat:
"I am not the body. " I am not even the mind"
There is no third sentence to recall or recollect!!!
Also realized that GOOGLE has not disappeared.
Ecstatic with joy, I spent another hour without sleep --
thereafter slept off till 7:30 am!!!

Before the television invasion, reading was the main pastime. Perry Mason novels were very popular. These books were available at roadside private lending libraries at affordable cost. When I read a mail on Erle Stanley Gardner in SSS forum, I had an urge to read the novels again. I googled and found that 88 Novels are available for free download from Bihar Public Service commission site. Here is the link.Govindarajan

Fwd: Sub: Inauguration of India’s first Tele-Medicine Enabled ETCM - Nightingales Dementia Care Center in Kolar – Invitation
Greetings from Nightingales!
Having developed various innovative support systems for the wellbeing
of the older persons in the areas of mitigating loneliness through
enrichment centers, combating elder abuse, financially empowering
needy elders, medical care for aged in rural areas and dementia care
through Nightingales Centre for Ageing & Alzheimer's (NCAA) now
Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT), a registered non-profit organization
(www.nightingaleseldercare.com) is embarking on a major challenge of
making dementia care accessible, efficient and affordable in India.
Dementia is emerging as an epidemic, with 3.7 million elderly living
with this illness according to the Dementia India report. Dementia is
a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive, global
deterioration in intellect including memory, learning, orientation,
language, comprehension and judgment due to disease of the brain.
There is no definitive cure for dementia and preventive strategies are
lacking in evidence.
Since 2010, Nightingales Centre for Ageing & Alzheimer's (NCAA), an 86
bed facility, has been providing a wide range of services, including
institutional care for people with dementia. Being the largest
institutional care facility in the country, patients not only from
Bangalore but also from other parts of the country are utilizing the
services. Yet, the demand is growing day by day.
To bring down the cost of institutional care for dementia patients and
to benefit more needy patients, NMT is planning to establish a few
Satellite Dementia Care Centers by using Technology and Tele-Dementia
Management Solutions based on a Hub & Spokes Model with Nightingales
Centre for Ageing & Alzheimer's as the hub. As a pilot project
Nightingales is establishing the first such centre , a 35 bed
facility, at Kolar town at the premises of ETCM hospital. Once this
pilot project becomes a success, we will be setting up more satellite
units like this in different towns and cities in India enabling
affordable, accessible and efficient dementia care.
Now, the Centre at Kolar is ready to be functional and is being
inaugurated on Tuesday, the 27th May at the premises of ETCM Hospital,
Kolar at 11.30AM. Dr. K. kasturiranagan, Member, Planning Commission
of India and Chairman of Karnataka Knowledge Commission has kindly
consented to be the Chief Guest. Ms Meera Pattabiraman, Chairperson,
Alzheimer's & Related Disorder Society of India will be the Guest of
Honor and Dr. Taranath S. Sagar, Bishop at Methodist Church in India
will preside over the function.
A formal invitation is attached. We request you to kindly make it
convenient to grace the occasion with your presence.
Assuring you the best of our services for the well being those who are
affected with Dementia
Thanking you
