I often wonder where exactly lies the line that demarcates the beginning of one’s life as a senior. Quite often, an individual finds himself/herself in the liminal space... straddling youth and old age. Added to these, the subtle, unobtrusive signs of alienation convey, in no uncertain terms, that one is on the threshold of old age. The first one is in autopilot mode; the second one is influenced by lifestyle and other factors; and the third is what decides the quality of one’s life. The blessed ones can choose a way to live life that is compatible with the changing trends of the world.
