Zohra Sehgal...

With age we tend to become subdued and quiet
we rarely see old people being very agile and active
Now, the situation is different
Earlier, people above 55 were known to be old
and were expected to retire and live a lonely, spiritual and quiet life
they were believed to be spending rest of their life in pilgrimage
and telling stories to their grandchildren
Now, things are different...
Now, they are seen, heard and respected till their very ripe age
Thanks, to people like Zohra Sehgal
who rewrote the definition of being old ...
RIP dear Zohra Sehgal...
