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

I'm writing for my neighbor Rakesh, who's 76. Rakesh lives alone in Nashik, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Rakesh loves crossword puzzles, 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 for reading my story.

sending good thoughts, Vijay. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Vijay. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
You're not alone, Vijay. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Nashik.
