Age Power (English)

Early in the morning, a message flashes on the mobile phone — “Your classmate has passed away.” For a few moments, the mind goes blank. He was not just a classmate; he was someone with whom I spent five years in the engineering hostel. Laughter, struggles, dreams, examinations — a significant part of life was […]

Over the past two years, I have written more than 100 articles focused on senior citizens—their lives, experiences, and possibilities. The Never Say Retired mission is dedicated to empowering seniors to remain active, engaged, and valuable contributors to society. In several of my earlier articles, I explored the idea that living beyond 100 years is

For decades, life moved with a defined purpose, a structured routine, and a clear identity shaped by one’s profession. Then suddenly, that structure fades. While a few may find part-time roles or assignments, most are left to adjust to an entirely new rhythm of life. This transition is not merely about managing time—it is about

Three years ago, on 30 November 2022, a new name—ChatGPT—surprised me as much as it did the world. When I wrote my first article on it in March 2023, it was a mix of curiosity, hesitation, and many unanswered questions. Today, three years later, it is clear that this was not just a technological shift,

There comes a time in life when we begin to value peace more than being right. In the later years, this realization becomes even more profound. Among the many lessons that ageing gently teaches us, one stands above the rest—the art of forgiveness. Forgiveness is a conscious choice to release resentment and bitterness. It is

There comes a quiet moment in life when roles begin to reverse. Not long ago, our loved ones were the ones managing every aspect of our lives—our education, our health, our fears, and our dreams. Today, life has come full circle. The hands that once taught us how to walk may now look towards us

In February 2025, I wrote an article titled “I Miss Writing Letters.” In that piece, I reflected on a time when writing letters was an emotional experience—each word carried warmth, connection, and a personal touch. Recently, I came across an interesting video that revisited this idea from a completely new perspective. It highlighted how writing

In today’s world, the importance of relationships seems to be diminishing, especially among the younger generation. People send messages on their phones or speak briefly over calls, but the time to sit together and have heartfelt conversations is becoming rare.

This is my hundredth article. I myself feel surprised that I have managed to write so many articles on just one subject through my mission Never Say Retired, with the basic idea to empower seniors to remain active, engaged and valued. More than a year ago, a friend once asked me how I would find

All of us spend our lives working hard to build assets—homes, land, bank balances, investments, and many personal belongings. Seniors, in particular, acquire these through years of hard work, discipline, and foresight. Yet an important question often remains unanswered: what will happen to all these after we are gone, and who will receive what share

Let us talk briefly about environmental protection. Numerous articles, seminars, and workshops are organized on this subject, with enthusiastic participation from young people. Environmental awareness is discussed, pledges are taken, and concerns are raised. Yet, when we observe everyday behavior, a contradiction becomes evident. The same youth, often unknowingly, are also promoting the “throwaway culture.”

The recent AI Summit in India has sparked nationwide conversations about how artificial intelligence will shape our future. While much of the buzz focuses on startups, technology labs, and young innovators, there’s one group whose potential contribution is often overlooked — senior citizens. With time, experience, and wisdom on their side, elders can play a
