called Millers that targets the old. I
walked around the shop but all their
designs looked like clothes collected
from the First World War. To cap it,
the staff in there treats you like they
might never see you again. They are
more sympathetic than warm. Yes I
am old, but please!
When you start growing older, many
parts of your body start to shut
down, beginning from legs upwards.
Only pharmaceutical companies
innovate around the immobilized
old.
The person who made Viagra should
win a Nobel Prize for heaven’s sake!
That small wonder pill is doing
heavy lifting; what even forklifts
could not manage. Now I hear they
are also making Viagra for women.
Hallelujah!

‘‘At Vibro, there is no dress code for hanging
out. Anything will do. The dancing style was
also odd. Everyone danced slowly with very
limited movement at the waist but suddenly
making short side jerks with one leg like
something had just bitten their heels.’’
That is the greatest innovation of the
century with potential to prevent a
Third World War. What would sane
men be doing out there throwing
bombs and detonating themselves
if their women are melting hot and
waiting for them back home?
Research shows that about 30 per
cent of old people spend their
money on medicine. As if shutting
down is not enough, many body
parts start to ache as well.
My grandma would borrow any
medicine that she saw anyone take.
She did not care what the medicines
were prescribed for. As long as it
was medicine, it was sure to heal
someplace. I used to find that funny,
but now I know why she did it.
When so many parts are on go-slow
and others aching, any medicine will
help in one way or the other.
