Separated for 36 years, a couple aged over 80 years reunited at an old age home in their native Kerala with both recognising each other instantly despite failing eyesight, triggering celebrations.
By sheer chance, Saidu (90) and Subhadra (82), who got married 65 years ago and lost contact with each other since 1983 after the man went in search of a job, had come to the home at nearby Pullut in Thrissur district in August and July respectively this year, the caretaker of the facility said.
When Subhadra amma heard the voice of Saidu after 36 years, she felt it was familiar and from her past. The couple hailed from Thrissur district.
Despite her advanced age, she went to look who the new visitor was and stunned to see her husband.
"They had not seen each other for 36 years. Their fading eyesight notwithstanding, the couple recognised each other", Abdul Kareem, the caretaker and a social activist, said
