In this post let me share a difficulty that is probably common to most senior citizens of my age (70 plus) who live alone in their dwellings, though there may be close relatives staying in other parts of the town or city.
Thanks to Amul India Limited for their KoolCafe, for sparing me from the trouble of preparing my morning coffee, daily.
Thanks to growing number of Brahmin food catering services for sparing me from the ordeal of cooking side dishes such as gravy and curry. I don't mind cooking rice by myself.
Sometimes I prepare my favourite dosaas (rice and urad dhaal pancakes) for dinner. But often oddly enough I get so much immeresed in viewing my TV programmes until such time when the dosa in the frying pan sends s strong signal that it is burnt beyond rectification. These are the times that I do miss my Shortwave digital radio (that used to be somewhat like a part of my body for more than 40 years until the early '90s). I think that a radio receiver is better than any TV in this aspect.
(I had a very reliable and efficient Digital Radio viz ICF7600, for many years, until it was deliberately broken by my divorced wife's son many years back when he and his mother came on a visit for some reason).
A few minutes back I did Google Search to find out if there is any Didital Radio supplier in India, and found that there is none. Even SONY India Limited doesn't seem to market shortwave receivers any more.
Well, I think that fast technological development is inevitable and necessary, but not at the cost of stable options of using gadgets such as radio receivers.
