18 Till I die

Yesterday i boarded the crowded train to Park at around 8.30 scolding myself not be late again(a daily dialogue). I got a 4th passenger seat and next to me was a old man in his mid 60s i suppose. When i peeped what he is reading, i was surprised to see him solving sudoku. He was very fast at solving it and within 3 stations ,he solved two sudokus(medium level). Till yesterday, i was under the impression that, sudoku fever had struck only younger generation to spend time during class hours and fill pages in their resume.
Age is just a number. Its not the age that makes you older. Its only the enthusiasm and interest you show in things, decides whether you are young or old. Old people tend to show less interest in learning new things. Till now i have failed in all my attempts to teach my mother how to send an email. She would reply " All these internet and emails are suited only young ones like you..What am i going to do with this email and internet...?"
Ah..When i think of internet and email..my grandmother(relative to my actual granny) comes to my mind. She has learned how to use email and communicates with her son through emails..We have kept her the name "EMAIL PATTI"
As long as you have the interest and passion in learning new things you are young... and age holds no barrier to learning new things...
