Old In The Knees but Young at Heart

About the Book

As long as you have enthusiasm you radiate energy of young-hood. The story of our senior years is both interesting and fascinating. A lot can be said about the experiences we go through and the changes we observe. This book is a collection of short articles and essays about some aspects of life in general and old age in particular. Its goal is to delight readers and help them to see the positive aspects of the senior life. Topics included cover both serious and funny sides of growing old. Some topics are general, and others are basic lessons I learned while living in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. For the ease of reading, the articles are presented independently from one another whenever possible. Sources utilized are cited in the end of each article. Few related topics are also included for stimulation of worked-out minds.

About the Author

In search of the meaning of life, the author dove into the self-improvement world, psychology, human desires and weaknesses, sports, writing, and poetry. His goal was to understand a few of his very many feelings including his pains, depression, fears, and anxiety. Music, science, especially mathematical sciences, sports, and nature have become his guide. This has led him to write several books including two on earthquakes, six on mathematical sciences, two on poetry, and one on philosophy of life. He has traveled to many countries and has made long-term visits to several universities including Harvard, Princeton, Penn, and UCLA. Today, he lives with his wife in a small beautiful college town in Pennsylvania. He has two sons and a granddaughter.
