Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Rajkot
Umesh lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Umesh, who's 81. Umesh lives alone in Rajkot, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Umesh loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Alok. Hope this works out for you.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Saint-Denis but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Saint-Denis
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Rajkot.
