I didn’t see a bit of humour in this article. It is not a very nice thing to say to people who are only over 50 specially in this century where people life expectancy reaching up to 80 years and world rulers are over 70 years.

I totally agree with you Saroj. Growing old is a privilege which many don't get in life. However, reminding some one that he or she has crossed 50 can be a bit painful and more so for a lady....hahhahaa..No wonder some diplomat rightly said that, ' A good diplomat is one who will never forget a lady's birthday but will always pretend to forget her age'...Trust me, my wife used to get really furious at my daughters when they used to tease her of her age...My wife always felt so elated when some one told her that she looked 35 and I look like 50+...hahhaa..Her face used to glow on hearing that...We all love to hear that we look much younger than what we are and the ladies in particular...LOL...this is why never ask or remind the age of a lady and the income of a man..
