“Health and Well Being in Late Life: Perspectives and Narratives from India” by Dr Prasun Chatterjee

I thought of writing a book review of Dr Prasun's latest book. But our Vice President has already done a great job. Happy to share his speech below.

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu addressed a gathering after releasing the book, “Health and Well Being in Late Life: Perspectives and Narratives from India” written by Dr Prasun Chatterjee, a specialist in Geriatric Medicine, AIIMS on December 21, 2019. He expressed anguish over reports of abuse of elders or their abandonment, he said that many elders were forced to stay in old age homes.

I feel blessed when ....

I feel blessed when  ....

1. When the servant maid comes late when I have given up hopes
2. When I see the morning paper thrown by the vendor has not landed in wet front yard
3. When a friend visits me unexpectedly, says just for a minute and really leaves quickly!
4. When a friend gives me a new year calendar or diary
5. When I get a Greeting card by post (snail mail)
6. When I trace out whereabouts of a long lost friend
7. When I visit my school after  a gap of several decades
8. When I am setting out, drizzle ceases and does not turn into downpour
9. When electricity comes back while I am watching an interesting TV serial
10. When my enumerating ability lasts long enough to pat myself on my back

Which one did you like best and why? Tallied with your experience?
