Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Pune
Sajib lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sajib, who's 89. Sajib lives alone in Pune, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Sajib loves old films, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thinking of you, Ishrat. Wishing Sajib a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Thane
Take care, Ishrat. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
So sorry you're going through this, Ishrat. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Pune.
Wishing you peace, Ishrat. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Hyderabad
You're not alone, Ishrat. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
