Do We Ill-treat Our Senior Citizens?
Sat, Jan 23 2021
“
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.” – Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English philosopher and politician.
Francis Bacon also makes a compensatory statement: “
Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.”
“
And clouds come o’er the sunset of our day,
They kindly leave us, though not quite alone,
But in good company – the gout or stone.
-Lord George Gordon Byron (1788-1824), English poet and politician.

Probe report to be submitted to DGP, Prisons, soon
The prison authorities are likely to be given a clean chit in the death of a remand prisoner who had a seizure and collapsed at the Borstal school at Thrikkakara on January 12 and died the day after at Kottayam Government Medical College Hospital.
Shefeek, 35, of Kanjirappally in Kottayam was arrested by the Udayamperoor police and was kept at the Borstal school in the interim period awaiting his COVID-19 test result before being shifted to prison as is the practice now in the case of remand prisoners.
