PM launches Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme
"I am extremely happy to be here today for launching the Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme. This Indira Gandhi Old Age Pension scheme is a scheme which fulfils an important commitment of our government towards providing a social safety net for the poor and vulnerable.
Will
Preparation of Will by Elders
You may think that you do not have that much property to make a Will and you have a Joint Bank Account, Fixed Deposits etc with nominations done in all cases. This is not correct as nomination does not make the nominee its owner. Nomination grants only holding rights and not ownership.

India's senior citizens finally get a hearing
The Union Cabinet's recent decision to approve a new law -- the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Bill 2007 aimed at helping the elderly live in dignity and peace -- is a welcome move towards the protection and care of India's 77 million elderly citizens.

Parents and Grandparents
Caring for Parents Who Didn't Care for You
Last week, a journalist (we'll call her Nancy) wanted to interview me about some caregiving issues. We chatted a bit about the article she was writing and she got some quotes. During the talk, we bonded. As Nancy talked, she described the turmoil she is facing as her parents age. I was able to assure her that she is not alone in her feelings. She grew up with an abusive mother. The abuse was physical as well as emotional. Her father was gone much of the time, doing what most men of that generation did.

Some, you just figure they're grandparents. Others, you raise your eyebrows and say, "No, way. They're not grandparents already... are they?" Yeah, celebrities are grandparents, too.
Marriage
The best is yet to come…
More and more people are getting married at an age considered ripe for retirement previously. And in most cases, love and marriage seem to work better the second time around.
