This is a moving and beautifully written piece, Rani. The skilled hands of an old person are very touching to me too. You paint a clear picture of him.

Your poem brought a lump into my throat; it made me think of my own father with his arthritic legs, sitting in his study room with his students, busy teaching...fighting away the old age blues...Thanks a lot for sharing.
