It was a summer day. Hot & Sunny morning, 10:30 AM. I was waiting, for my friend @ Anna Salai, Pondicherry (Thanks to very few living trees @ Anna Salai). Within couple of minutes I noticed that many elderly couples were there with few covers / bags in their hands. The purpose of their visit was to a bank near by. ~95% of them were struggling to manage the steps @ that bank's branch. I had a closer look at those steps. Horrible is the right adjective to describe the status.... It was not clean... Corners of many of the steps were broken... damaged.. Initially thought there are only 4 or 5 steps .. then i realized that the bank is operating in the first floor... There was no support to climb on those stairs. First few of them were big.. and then smaller... Unevenly sized... Those who managed climbing these stairs were finding it very difficult to come down.. Even noticed one using a nebulizer...I guess these senior citizens have to manage with this bank atleast once in a mon...
