Freedom of choice

Be carefree, not careless
Freedom to me means living life to the fullest. I want to be carefree like I was when I was young. I want to relive my life, learn different languages and use all kinds of gadgets. I want to break people’s perceptions of what senior citizens should and should not do.

Roam aimlessly, experience life
I want to travel across the world without the burden of responsibility. It would be great to roam around aimlessly to new, exotic locations. Freedom of choice would mean to be able to visit locations I want to. It would be great to travel long distances with my family.

Get rid of fear of safety
I believe one should feel safe and secure in the city. At this age, I don’t feel safe staying alone at home, travelling in the city or even during my morning jogs in the park. I want to live without locks in my house or the presence of policemen or security guards in the city.

Not worry about taxes, health
The government has restricted us by imposing various taxes under different names. I would love to see people build their own businesses without having to worry about paying too many taxes. Only one tax must be levied. I wish I could continue with my business without worrying about my health.

Freedom from queues, crowds
In Mumbai, we have to struggle for everything. There are long queues for buying railway tickets, getting treated at hospitals, entering a train or even waiting for a taxi. I would want a mechanism that would ensure that people like us don’t have to wait in queues or face large crowds in the city.
