By a raisin for the raisins - An interesting blog for senior citizens

We the senior citizens are like raisins, not because there are wrinkles on both of our skin but because the changes in both of our lives are the same.When we were younger, we were like raw grapes- sour, because of our naughtiness yet an apple of everyone’s eyes.When we became grown-ups, we were like ripe , sweet grapes- quenching the thirst and fulfilling hunger of the family, at the same time nutritious for the health of our family. Now when we are senior citizens, the experiences and knowledge have converted us into raisins which means that now our value has increased from a fruit into dry fruit. So now we are the most valuable persons and not the useless and wastage in society, as some people think.

I know that every senior citizen's opinion is valuable because of maturity in our lives. When we were very busy and earning money, every one respected us and was interested in listening to our life-stories, but we had no time for it. Now when we are free but physically weak, no one has any interest, respect  for us.So this is the blog through which you can express yourself through your replies and share with us your experiences. Even though this blog is mainly for senior citizens, the young generation's opinions and experiences about senior citizens will also be appreciated. So every reader of this blog will be appreciated.In every weak there will be a new article. In this blog there will be no advices,no preaching, as we have already tolerated it in our entire life.Here in this blog, we shall think over all aspects of life. So let us enjoy this blog.

PURITY

  Even though, adulteration is crime, now a day, there is adulteration in almost every thing. There is adulteration in eatables like oil, ghee, mustard, turmeric, chilli powder, pepper, salt, honey, saffron, pulses,panir, ice-cream. There are chemicals sprinkled on vegetables to look fresh. Many times, fruits are rippen with the help of chemicals. Many times, apples are coated with wax to look attractive and fresh. Many times, watermelons are injected with chemicals to be sweet and red. In farms the farmers are using so much fertilizer, that it is affecting the crops and that crop is becoming injurious for health. In gold and silver jewelry, there can be adulteration of  alloyed metal. If we become ill because of the adulteration,and we take medicine, there is adulteration in medicine also. In short, today, purity has become rare.       This purity hasn't become rare only in eatables and other things, but also in mankind's relationship. So ma...

Colours of the days

Yesterday,I met our family friend -a retired person- and as formality, I asked him that how he was, he started to complain about his retired life. His main complaint was that for him now every day was similar to another,no change, no zest. Even on festival also except for some time, the remaining day was very dull for him. While speaking, he referred that after retirement, his all days are of grey colour,and yes, I also agreed with him on the point that days also have colours and various shades.                       Even though grammatically,a day is a concept and so it has no colour, no shape,no size. Again logically, day after day comes and it makes a week, month,a year and our life goes on. So a day doesn't differ from other days. Yet practically we have experience that if on a day, the climate is cloudy for the whole day, everyone feels dull, and as grey colour is symbol o...

Normal journey became a trip

Experience of trip is always delightful and memorable because we spend a lot of time with nature during trip much time we live with nature. But imagine if the nature accompanies you in your normal journey! Then that journey itself becomes a delightful and memorable trip.                                           Once, I experienced such journey.That journey was not at all arranged as a trip nor it was a long journey.I remember that it was 6th June and we all know that generally the climate is extremely hot during that time. That day too, the climate was extremely hot. I had to travel from Thane to Bhusawal. I started my journey from Thane in the afternoon at one o’clock. It was too hot to tolerate and we all were sweating and feeling very tired. Our train started in such climate and as it was arriving at the next station, we were experiencing various shades of nature. After an hour...
