My parents find it difficult to handle a smartphone and he was using a laptop like
a pro.
●
He greeted me very warmly and so I started chatting with him. 
●
I was amazed at his vast knowledge. 
●
He told me stories of his life in the army. 
●
He told me how he participated actively in the Kargil war.
●
So now whenever I go to Sonia’s house, I make it a point to sit with him for some
time and learn something new.
Part 3 Follow Up Questions
1. Do you think old people and young people can share the same interest? 
It may sometimes be difficult for old people and young people to share the same 
interests. Young people are generally more energetic, so they prefer outdoor
sports, but old people can only play those games which are not physically trying. 
It would be wrong to say that they cannot share the same interest. They both can
share the same interest in TV programs, movies, indoor games, etc. 
2. What skills can the old teach the young?
Old people today have seen a lot of changes in their lifetime. My grandfather has 
told me many stories of how difficult his life was when there were no vehicles 
and horses were used for transportation. He has also seen a lot of technological
advancements. For example, the evolution of music started with radio and was 
followed by gramophones, cassette players, cd’s and dvd’s, and finally I-Pods and 
Mobile Phones. The most important life skills such as adaptability, versatility and 
openness to change, can be taught by the old to the young. 
3. What skills can the young teach the old?
Young people are faster at learning about modern technology and better at 
operating gadgets. They can definitely teach these skills to old people. Also,
since young people are now entering various businesses, other young people 
understand them and can do a better job of negotiating prices of goods and 
services. This too is an important skill for old people who are always keen to get
a good bargain.
4. Do you think the old people should live with their family?
