Companionship wanted: Naresh's local history and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Naresh is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Naresh, who's 94. Naresh lives alone in Pune, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 775 kilometers away.
Naresh loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Yamini. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
thinking of you, Yamini. This could happen to any of us. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing Naresh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Pune
