This page, Senior Citizens’ Lounge , has completed three years of publishing, and we thank all our readers, as well as all those who supported this initiative. What began as an experiment has now turned into a movement. And today we mark a special day, the International Day of Older Persons. A day for seniors. A day to pause. A day to remember those who raised us, nurtured us, taught us and silently sacrificed for us. But let us ask ourselves, do we need only one day in a year to think about them? Or is every single day, in fact, a day of older persons?
Globally, this day is observed with speeches, walks, seminars, and cultural events. Nice photographs are clicked, social media buzzes with posts, and then life returns to routine. But ageing is not a one-day affair. It is a daily reality
