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. ========
