LIFE GOES ON - a new website for senior citizens
Capt KP Haridasan, retired from the Navy, has started an outfit based in Thane to help senior citizens to age usefully and productively. His organisation offers various types of therapies like dance therapy, organises picnics to bird watching sites, helps in second career if they want to be gainfully employed and a host of other facilities and services.
To serve this end a website http://lifegoeson.in has been started recently. I find lot of useful information of relevance and use to retirees here: hobbies, helplines, old age homes, details of 150 newspapers, articles on writing will etc. The content, for the present, is Thane focused and Defence retirees in particular. NRI parents also get preference, for example they will help with identifying travel companions for elderly single women travelers.
There are articles inspiring elders to take up hobbies, how to spend time usefully etc. RTI is another topic that seniors may find useful as they have many things to complain with govt departments.
I wish they add content on financial matters including advice on investments, property purchase, safety and security, associations, learning opportunities, discussion groups, volunteering etc. Plenty of websites talk of health and medicine, so this may be skipped initially.
Please visit the website to check for yourself what interests you.
