Old is Platinum

Here's a brief account of someone really special to me...

He loves us more than his own children.

He walks by a stick but he stands very firm when it means moral support!

Share a problem and you can see him think, analyse real deep and he gets to the bottom of it in no time! Experience speaks there!

Can you match up to his courtesy, manners and etiquette? We may be a different generation, but good manners with patience and not pretentious is surely possible with oldies.

He reads news paper, cover by cover and shares only the news that is relevant to each family member.

He makes friends instantly and laughs constantly forgetting numerous miseries fighting within him.

He wakes up much before all of us and welcomes everyday with increased enthusiasm.

He lived yesterday, experiencing today and started imagining tomorrow.

I am talking about my cool grandpa who is 81 years old and is absolutely 18 @ heart!!

    :-) That is thatha for you.. I am always in awe of him..Inspite of the walking stick he still manages to attend functions- I was particularly impressed when he made it to Kavya's barasala and blessed her, and even the gruha pravesam when he had to climb stairs to the first floor.
