Hello All,
I seek some suggestions regarding activities for seniors.
My Father-in-law will be visiting us soon and will be staying for 7-8 months. He is not much into temple/gurudwara. He is a retired banker and loves mathematics. Though my kids would keep him busy, still I want to have some tips so that he doesn't get bored.
I have searched CD but couldn't find much !

1. Reading various Indian newspapers and magazines...online....
2. visiting library to read hindi and other indian languages books and magazines available
3. watch indian and other movies from library dvds. or religious like ramayan, kabir, chanakya series etc.
4. listen to very nice music from library...cds, cld be indian / classical/ western/ instrumental.
5. watch various dvds from library that are on various other topics like a) tourist places : europe / etc. b) yoga c) learning computers from basics d) learning language ....dependng on your interest....you might find sthg on maths / customer service ....etc

These are good fun for seniors. If you are in Toronto - would recommend high park and ontario science museum.

Thanks Ashu, Michelle288. Like the Museum and library ideas and i guess my FIL will have good time there. Hes not much into movies but I will keep a good collection of old classics whic he may like to watch.
Well I am also planning to take some Maths lessons in my weak areas esp Calculus. I wonder how will it be to have FIl as teacher.(am i asking for double trouble..he heeee! ;-) )

I guess he would love to but then since he is on Visitor Visa , may need Work Permit to work there.
