America the Wonderful - Trikkur Krishnan

I have been visiting the USA since 1987 and this is my tenth visit. Now, I have started losing confidence of travelling alone to and fro.A friend of mine suggested that I can take an escort. Is it practical? I have decided to settle down in USA.

I tell my friends in India that parents visiting their children in USA become bored as their children leave for work early in the morning and return late at night. Except for the week ends, they are left alone without any contact or engagement.

Now that I settled in USA, I joined the senior center where I could meet many friends and spend time usefully. In every town, there is a senior center where various activities like card games, pool games, exercises, etc. are offered. This helps elderly people to mingle with friends and engage themselves physically and mentally and lead a healthy, meaningful and peaceful life.

Recently we moved to East Brunswick and our house is located right across senior center. With the senior center and Library in easy reach, my life has become interesting.

We celebrated India Independence Day with pomp and show. Music, dance and fun. We dressed in traditional dress and served Indian dessert to all.

I wish every member a happy and healthy life.
