“The things I say is taken as amusement. But I am actually trying to tell them something and not trying to amuse them. When you become old you become an object – an object for pity and amusement. Nowadays, I feel engulfed in old age. It was only when people started repeating sentences to me and started calling me ‘Baa’ instead of ‘Dai’ I realized I was old. I have lived my life and the past is gone. All I want is to die peacefully.”
