Could you share an hour a week with Aravind?

I'm writing for my neighbor Aravind, who's 75. Aravind lives alone in Howrah, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Aravind loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
