Sharing Our Feelings
Seema’s father reads the newspaper aloud to her nani. How do you help old people?

Aged people have hearing problems, poor eyesight, joint pains, and weak teeth. So, they face difficulty doing their usual activities like walking, reading, and eating solid foods.
How does Ravi bhaiya come to know so many things without seeing them?
It is said that generally, blind people have a stronger sense of hearing, smell, and touch than other people. Therefore, Ravi bhaiya feels, knows, and understands many things by touch, hearing, and smell.
