Companionship wanted: Ashwin's local history and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Ashwin is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ashwin, who's 81. Ashwin lives alone in Pune, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Ashwin loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Thank you so much.
