You must have often heard that age is just a number and one should never stop doing things that one loves and enjoys. An 83-year-old woman epitomized this adage as she won medals in a carrom tournament in Pune and it made her grandson proud as he shared her photos on Twitter.

Akshay Marathe, a lawyer and spokesperson for the Aam Aadmi Party according to his Twitter bio, shared that his 83-year-old grandmother won a gold medal in the doubles category and a bronze in the singles category at Pune’s All-Magarpatta City carrom tournament.

What made the achievement even more special was that she beat opponents who were much younger. He also posted a 21-second clip of his grandmother playing a game of carrom against a young woman. She nailed a few shots perfectly and her concentration while playing is impressive. “Inspired by my 83-year-old Aaji who won Gold in the Doubles and Bronze in the singles in Pune’s All-Magarpatta City carrom tournament against much younger and steadier hands,” Marathe wrote. 

The clip has received more than 10,000 views as netizens posted congratulatory messages and said they felt inspired.
