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

I'm writing for my neighbor Senthil, who's 87. Senthil lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 473 kilometers away.
Senthil loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Ananya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
best of luck, Ananya. Get well soon. God bless.
