Companionship wanted: Puja's birdwatching and a cup of tea
Puja lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Puja, who's 72. Puja lives alone in Kanpur, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Puja loves birdwatching, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you peace, Saif. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Saif. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Puja a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. God bless!
