Straight Drive Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) A very nice gesture while I had to use public transport. It was crowded and a middle aged man got up and offered me a seat.State transport authorities should increase the seats for senior citizens. Once the comfort factor which is important for senior citizens is better in public transport, one would definitely think of avoiding private transport and helping the cause of lessening pollution.

Straight Drive Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Do any oldies find the vehicles being halted on Zebra crossing as a severe discomfort. Hope heavy fines are implemented for making walking tough for aged people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had ICICI direct account for few years , but still loves going to his old broker , more so to pass time and meet his friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I order a lot of houshold necessities online, however i do ensure i keep some of the consumbales pending so that i can visit the shop and buy and meet shopkeepers. Nice timepass as it helps in walking and meeting friends in person. Stopped email account statement facility recently so that i can meet my banker for getting bank passbook printed with updated transaction records and have a chit chat with bank staff that i know for years. Same with the trading branch - submit documents in person rather than send an email. Even reduced using car and private vehicles as when i use public transport there are atleast one or two in public transport bus whom we get to converse. There are many ways to lessen some online interaction and meet friends in real life. Edited January 22, 2020 by Straight Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of group members are there every day. Sunshne in the morning and nice breeze during the evening. velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
