October 1 was International Seniors Day. To commemorate, we took our lunch to the Senior Citizens' Home at Nachinola, the Bom Jesu Home. It was a simple lunch - pulao, chicken korma, chana masala, salad, a home-made dessert and cold drinks. Prepared with mild spices especially for the elderly there, the entire staff of Bougainvilla- Hermitage also joined in. We had a little sing-song and the seniors there shared anecdotes as they sang really old forgotten Konkani songs.
It was a wonderful afternoon, a heart-warming experience for us as well as our young staff. And this is only the first of the many community integration projects that we've planned for Bougainvilla-Hermitage. Next month, we're planning a health camp for the people of Nachinola. We're in talks with the Panchayat as well as a medical team about this.
Meanwhile, our Occupancy Certificate has been sanctioned. And our first residents have already moved in. The commercial hub is also coming into shape. With a good rainfall behind us, and a clear blue sky above, there has never been a better time than now to retire!!
