Whoever said that ‘age is just a number’ is absolutely right and people like Isha Ghosh are living example of this. Who is Isha Ghosh? An 81-year-old lady from Jharkhand who spends eight hours in the day conducting physical training in schools. She is a member of the state’s Bharat Scouts and Guides (BSG). She still conducts these training to stay physically and mentally fit. She joined the BSG in 1963 and has been active since then. She conducts drills on Japanese music in addition to climbing, yoga and inspiring children to bring discipline in their lives.
Ghosh stays at the Scout and Guide residential campus in Chaibasa and lives on the daily remuneration provided by the BSG. She gives training to students during the BSG camps. Ghosh not only conducts the training, but she herself also walks 7 km. We all should take a note from her, we get tired so easily and she is full of enthusiasm and energy. She is an inspiration to all.
