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

I'm writing for my neighbor Shruthi, who's 75. Shruthi lives alone in Pune, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Shruthi loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
