Dialogue between Gaurav and Senior Citizens – Mr. Naresh and Mrs. Kalpana
Gaurav – Namaste Uncle Ji, Namaste Aunty Ji. My name is Gaurav and I’m a
college student pursuing Economics. I’ve come here to interact with senior
citizens of our society and learn from their experiences in life. Would really
love it if you could have a conversation with me about your day to day lives in
this facility
Mr. Naresh – Ahh good good. Nowadays, hardly anyone comes to visit us
anymore, especially during this awful pandemic. Gaurav is a nice name, stands
for pride. Have you done anything that has made your parents proud?
Mrs Kapana – Oh stop it Naresh, let the sweet boy enjoy his days of youth. You
have all your life to work hard and make people proud. Gladly Gaurav, it is
always a pleasure chatting with young passionate minds, helps us stay up to
date and expands our perspective too
Gaurav – Haha all I can say uncle is that I try but I will certainly do something
like that one day. Thank you, Aunty – so can you share how you spend your
time here, what does your daily routine look like and how often you get to see
your kids and grandkids?
Mrs Kalpana – Life here is peaceful but sometimes it can get lonely. At this
age, there are only a few things to look forward to like your grandchild’s
birthday or graduation or the occasional family zoom call. In the morning, I get
up and pray. Then the usual morning routine, we have breakfast at the
common lounge with other senior citizens. Then I’ll watch some TV in the
afternoon and take a nap. In the evening, we usually have some activities
planned by the club like Bingo Night, Karaoke or Movie night. I have early
dinner and then I go to sleep after talking with my son on call.
Gaurav – Ohh, it seems like you find a way to engage yourself and enjoy at the
same time. Glad you’re not getting bored like the rest of us stuck at home
since the last 1.5 years haha. How about you Uncle? Can you share your
routine here?
Mr. Naresh – I wonder why these young people are so curious about what we
do. Anyway, I get up, read the newspaper only to discover that our country is
going to the dogs. I eat the same old, bland lunch and then I sleep as well. In
the evening, we watch the news but I’ve stopped watching it as these crooked
news channels are only creating unnecessary panic and hype these days. In the
night, I play this game called Ludo on my phone with my grandchildren. Why
don’t you tell us about your life?
Gaurav – Uncle if you don’t like the lunch served here, please let me know
from next time. I’ll order you some really delicious food from Swiggy. About
me uncle, I used to have an active lifestyle before this pandemic. Going out
frequently to gyms, restaurants and seeing a new movie at the cinema or just
chilling with friends. But that has become a memory now, a distant and blurred
memory that seems like a dream. Now, I am always at home and half my day is
spent attending online classes of our college much like everyone else my age.
The other half, I try to work out a little. I finish my assignments or study for
upcoming tests. Of the little free time I get, I spend it with my grandfather
discussing interesting events and news stories. My grandpa loves political talks
and I love discussing controversial economic policies with him.
Mr Naresh – That’s good. I’m happy you are spending time with your grandpa.
Never take your grandparents for granted. And I can empathize with you about
spending your energetic and youthful days stuck inside four walls but on the
bright side, there is much to look forward to once this ends. Be positive and
hopeful
Mrs Kapana – Naresh is right, Gaurav. This is unprecedented for us as well. But
you have a long way to go. Appreciate the little things in life and be grateful to
God that you and your family are safe and healthy
In the era of digitalisation, it seems like everything is well within reach. The entire world
has been transformed into a virtually connected village with an online presence of a
large number of people belonging to different backgrounds and having their individual
identities. Due to globalisation, a number of companies have emerged and for them,
internet is not only a facility but a powerful tool through which they can advertise and
market their commercial offerings in a way that allures and speaks to the customer
like never before. Advertising in its simplest form is a type of communication with the
market comprising of a calculated, strategic and proactive approach to notify a target
audience regarding the merits and features of a company’s product or service and
differentiate it from the competition. Advertising plays a pivotal role in company’s
success but just like anything, it has its dark side. In this article- we explore how
sometimes corporates unethically deploy advertising campaigns to lure the customer
and unfairly gain their attention.
