A link to a news in Tamil appeared on the college mates Whatsapp group. The headlines said "Old woman dies in elephant attack". The Tamil word used for the old woman was moothatti. Underneath the news link, the sender had written "did you notice the moothatti's age? It is about time for you fellows to act your age". I opened the link and found that the moothatti was an year older than me. Though I proclaim valiantly to many that I am old, the reference to people of this age group as moothatti seems ridiculous. We have not touched half century yet.
