Companionship wanted: Shuvo's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Mumbai to visit Shuvo once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Shuvo, who's 85. Shuvo lives alone in Mumbai, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Shuvo 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 hope life is good to you.
