Social Networking sites like Facebook, Orkut and many others where you find people from different parts of world, different age. You can meet new people who could be of your interest, discuss on topics which are of common interest. You can also meet your old lost friends after long time and refresh your golden memories.
Here comes an unique Social Networking site called Verdurez, which is not for people like me, but for Indian aged above 55. You can register at this site for free and start making friends. You may be able to meet your old friends with whom you are not in touch or you don’t know where he or she is. This reminds me of meeting my classmates whom I was not in touch for more than 20 years through classmates.com.
This site is promoted by Ishita Sukhadwala, who has dedicated this site to her parents.
The name Verdurez has been chosen from the noun verdure which means greenness, especially of fresh, flourishing vegetation, freshness in general; flourishing condition; vigour. We passionately believe that life doesn’t come to a slow grinding halt as you get older. Au contraire, a new phase in life begins which can flourish with vigour and freshness.
The concept looks good, but my worry is how many Indians at this age group in India use computers and Internet. There are many literate people in this age group (above 55) but they do not use computers as during their college time or when they were at job, there were no computers used.
I feel the concept is very good and it should be promoted. We need our elder generation to sit at home and know and enjoy the advantages of getting connected online through such social networking sites. They can get into group discussions, debates, share their knowledge and get to know more and more people of their age.
