Age Well in your Old Age

Press Release

On the occasion of UN International Day of Older Persons on 1st October, Agewell Foundation salutes all older persons. Himanshu Rath of Agewell said, “Let’s all of us work towards bringing a little more certainty and fun in the lives of old people around us.”


Old Age is a natural phenomenon. With increasing life span and better facilitation, longevity has increased progressively over the years. It is an unavoidable part of everybody’s life cycle and should be lived gracefully rather than grudgingly. No one should let the mind surrender to conditions of body in old age because a human mind always remains young.


In today’s fast paced world one only starts noticing signs of old age much after the gradual process is well underway. After retirement, most of older persons develop a complex of becoming redundant and unimportant.


As age sets in, it affects older persons’ body and many old age problems start setting in.

A Short Moral Story on “Caring for the Old”

http://www.rajputbrotherhood.com/eng/articles/a-short-moral-story-on-caring-for-the-old.html    Swati Gupta Articles    In olden times our country had the joint family system. It was a nice system. Under this system the needs of all age groups in the family were looked after very carefully. It took good care of the children, the young and the old alike, without any reservation or any kind of pressure or pain to anybody.
