Change in ourselves

'He started swearing so I ended beating him up. I picked up a couple of chairs, hit him with chairs. He broke his nose, that’s about it. I’ve learnt to control my temper and keep calm.'

'No I don’t feel the same as before. Before I was going to the gerba to the prayers, there we sit down together, we talk together, we enjoy very well, but now I can’t walk. I come in SubCo and in SubCo I try and pass my time. Pass the time in SubCo with everybody. We enjoy here now. I miss my prayer. We can go and do prayer, do bhangra dance and now I miss it.'

'To some extent I have improved in my memory. Only thing is, it takes time for me even to pick up the numbers, to pick up my telephone numbers even. Still I have forgotten it takes along time to get these numbers like this.

The house number is 15, that I know, but the telephone number is 020 something like that - I don’t know how to tell that number. Even now I can’t pick up the telephone. When the noise comes only I take the telephone.

If I want to give a telephone call to my children I don’t because my memory is lost. I can’t put the telephone and put the numbers - I can’t do it. That is a worry for me.'
