How I made a senior citizen smile!
Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- After the lockdown period when we started playing in the community park again, I noticed a granny sitting alone in the same bench every day. She seemed to be sad and blue. One day, on may way back, I went to her and said 'Hi'. She returned me a 'Hi' with a smile, and it encouraged me to sit and continue to have a conversation with her.
- Hi Aunty!
- Then she told me that she came to spend few days with her daughter and son-in-law and got stuck here due to the pandemic. Now that all are busy with work back, she is really missing her home and friends back in India. I felt sad for her as I could very well understand the pain of missing friends.
- Do you mind if I ask, why are you so gloomy?
- I asked more about her friends and she was excited to tell about them. She said her best friend sings very nicely and then I told her even I love to sing. And that was it! She was soo very happy to hear that. She asked me if I can sing for her, which I accepted with great pleasure.
- We enjoyed a wonderful melodious evening and she talked a lot about her favorite songs. I too was so happy to know about such beautiful old songs.
- Then we met often at the same spot and relished singing and chatting. And one day she told me that, she is returning to India with her daughter and son-in-law in coming weekend.
- Hello Madhav!
- Hello Aunty!
- I was so happy for her, and sang all her favorite songs that day. She thanked me for being so kind and friendly. I too thanked her, because she helped me realize how old people are feeling lonely these days, including my grandparents.
