Thank You Punjab Kesari Team
On my birthday today, I received numerous phone calls, WhatsApp messages, Facebook messages, flower bouquets, and cakes. O.P. Grover from my Patel Nagar branch gifted me several boxes of candies, snacks, and a crown, expressing his love and blessings. I felt very happy. Celebrating birthdays has been challenging since Ashwini ji, but the love, respect, and sentiments from everyone encouraged me to cut the cake with my colleagues and celebrate together. I was away from the office for half the day, and upon my return, Verma ji was waiting for me. He immediately expressed gratitude, and when I inquired why, he praised me, saying, 'Madam ji, you have enhanced our respect at home. You have elevated our pride.'
You've made us optimistic, and I want to share something interesting about your grandson. I said, 'Tell me,' as I sat comfortably in my office. He began, 'Madam ji, I asked my 7-year-old grandson what he wants to be in life—President of the country, Prime Minister.' He replied no, so I asked if he wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, or scientist, and he shook his head firmly no. Then I inquired if he wanted to pursue IT or new technology like AI, and he said no, absolutely not. I asked if he wanted to be an astronaut and travel to the moon or Mars, and he said absolutely not. So I asked, 'Hey son, tell me what you want to be,' and he said, 'Grandfather, I want to be a grandfather like you and enjoy being a member of the Senior Citizen Kesari Club.' He said he laughed after hearing this and asked, 'Brother, why?'
He mentioned that he would enjoy a peaceful morning sleep like you, without anyone waking him up or asking him to attend school, and he wouldn't have any extensive homework or need to attend tuition classes. He would watch TV at his leisure and go to bed early. His parents would cater to him because he would join the Senior Citizen Kesari Club and commend you. In the evening, he would visit the park, play, and occasionally engage in chess with his friends without any interruptions. He would have coffee in the morning and tea in the evening, and whenever he traveled by bus or metro, people would offer him a seat. He would receive discounts everywhere, whether traveling by train or airplane, and everyone would show him respect.
I plan to join the Senior Citizen Kesari Club where I'll sing, dance, act, and travel, becoming an inspiration to all. My photo will then appear in Punjab Kesari, and I'll proudly show it to everyone. I'll also enter a video competition for senior citizens, encouraging everyone to comment and like it. What a proud moment it will be to become a hero from home. Madam, I laughed a lot hearing that and silently thanked you. You've made our lives so positive that even a seven-year-old grandson now aspires to be a grandfather. Wow, Madam, wow! I was delighted to hear his words. After he left, I also thanked God, acknowledging that He is the one who makes things happen, and I am just a conduit. Thank you, God.
