Dr. Rameshwar Singh, Zonal Medical Officer, Koti Chandyar in Bani, brought a wave of smiles and warmth to the residents of Vridh Ashram, an elderly care home in the area, as he celebrated his birthday with them. This has become a cherished tradition for Dr. Singh, who chooses to dedicate his special day to those who might otherwise be alone.
The Vridh Ashram was abuzz with excitement as Dr. Singh arrived, bearing gifts of love and comfort. He spent the afternoon interacting with the residents, sharing stories, and listening to theirs. The air crackled with joy as old and young bonded over laughter and warm conversation.
As a gesture of care and concern for the approaching winter, Dr. Singh distributed shawls to each resident, ensuring they stay warm and cozy during the chilly months. This thoughtful act brought tears to the eyes of some, overwhelmed by the simple yet kind gesture. In a heartfelt speech, Dr. Singh shared his belief that spending time with the elderly is not just a duty, but a privilege. He spoke about the invaluable wisdom and experiences they hold, and the importance of showing them respect and compassion. He urged the community to make time for those who have spent their lives enriching society, reminding everyone that they deserve love and care in their twilight years. “These old age homes are not a place of despair,” Dr. Singh said. “They are a symbol of hope and resilience.
By coming together and supporting them,” he continued, his eyes twinkling with a contagious warmth, “we weave a tapestry of compassion, thread by thread, act by act.”
