First of all, A Very Very Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers :)
Now coming to the topic.....
Well, I think considering oneself as old or young, pertains to the mind set of an individual . Nobody is restricted by one's age to do anything if one's heart and mind allow. Of course, an element of health is involved in the old age but who knows ,it can occur in young age also. A person may be very young but may not be keeping a good health to do many things. On the contrary, an old person may be quite fit to do those many things. The latest hit ‘ Buddha hoga tera baap’ is a very good example. Amitabh Bachchan in this doesn’t want to be called ‘buddha’ simply because he doesn’t consider or feel himself to be so. It is his mind set. The college goers today don’t want to be treated like children. They say they are confident about what they are doing. They seek their parents’ opinion /help only when they are really stuck somewhere. Similar is the case with older generation people. They refuse to let their age dictate their activities or lifestyle. They seek their childrens’ or grandchildrens’ help only when they really need it. Otherwise they carry themselves quite well.

Retirement these days by many
people is not awaited to relax but to start many new things which they wanted
to do earlier but their job or may be some other reasons were not letting them
to do so. I feel that we, being from younger generation, should support our
parents/grandparents to let them do whatever they feel like . We should try to
open up as many avenues as possible in front of them. They are wise and
experienced enough to decide what is possible for them to do.
