Companionship wanted: Naveen's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Naveen, who's 81. Naveen lives alone in Saket, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Naveen loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

  • Wishing you peace, Varsha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.

    • You're not alone, Varsha. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
