Hi Sailesh,

Thanks-The login page didn't give the information when I checked earlier. I will
check it
again.

I totally agree that the wide range of needs and issues concerning the elderly
in India and
their families overseas should not be isolated, but I was curious to know how
you became
a member of this forum as if I am not mistaken, the moderator had earlier made
it open to
only design graduates and academics from certain design institutions and those
working
for design firms. I am glad to see that is changing.

All the best with Silver Innings!
Uma Chandru
Cultural Anthropologist &
Interior/Environmental Designer
