I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at JAMMU: Some visits are remembered not because of what was said, but because of the smiles they leave behind. The Home for the Aged & Infirm (Vridh Ashram), Ambphalla, Jammu witnessed one such beautiful and heartwarming afternoon today when a group of students from the Psychology Department associated with Man Sadhna Foundation visited the Home under the guidance of their teacher, Ms. Pavneet Kaur.
What began as an educational visit soon turned into a beautiful celebration of music, affection, laughter and human connection. The young students spent meaningful time with the elderly residents, interacting with them with warmth and genuine affection. Conversations flowed freely, smiles were exchanged, and for a while, the age difference between the young visitors and the elderly residents seemed to disappear. The interaction created a lovely atmosphere in which the residents felt heard, valued and remembered.
The students added even more colour and happiness to the occasion with a charming dance performance. Their enthusiasm and energy brought smiles to the faces of the residents and filled the Home with joy. A beautiful piano performance further enriched the gathering, creating a gentle and memorable musical moment for everyone present.
For the residents, these were not merely performances. They were moments of companionship—moments that reminded them that there are young hearts willing to spend their time, share their talents and create happiness with them.
The students also took keen interest in understanding the environment and functioning of the Home. Towards the end of the visit, they were taken around the premises and shown the various facilities and areas of the Home, giving them a closer understanding of the day-to-day life and care provided to the residents.
Dr. Dinesh Gupta, Secretary, along with Dr.B.B.Sharma, Ex-CMO and Medical Officer of the Home Dispensary, Mr. Vijay Dhawan, Sr. Rajinder Singh Sh. Satpal Sharma. Mrs Sudha Gupta-all Members of the Managing Committee graced the occasion besides staff members also joined the programme.
The visiting students were Vanshika Dhar, Hargun Kaur, Tanisha Mahajan, Ananya Nischal, Suzain Farooq, Sakshi Khullar, Ashu Raina, Katiyani Mahajan, Aiyza Naz Chib, Diya Bhat, Avni Gupta, Shiny James, Kashvee Jain, Falin Bhan, Ankita Sharma, Navvya Verma, Kismat Gupta, Kanishka Raina, Anjali Kumari, Aarushi Sharma and Prarish Varsha Devyal, along with their teacher Ms. Pavneet Kaur.
The visit concluded with a group photograph, capturing a beautiful moment shared by the students, the residents and members of the Home—a photograph that will remain a cherished reminder of a day when generations came together with open hearts.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Dinesh Gupta, Secretary, appreciated the students and their teacher for spending their valuable time with the residents and for bringing such warmth and happiness to the Home. He observed that interactions between young people and senior citizens are valuable not only for the elderly but also for the younger generation, as they help build empathy, sensitivity, respect and a deeper understanding of life.
The visit by the students of Man Sadhna Foundation beautifully demonstrated that sometimes the greatest gift one can give is not material—it is simply time, companionship and a little happiness.
As the students departed, they left behind more than memories of their visit. They left behind smiles on the faces of the residents, music in the corridors and a feeling of warmth in the hearts of everyone present. Because when young hearts meet the wisdom of age, something truly beautiful happens—a moment becomes a memory, and a visit becomes a bond.
