The age is beginning to tell on 86-year-old Advani. Neither is he mentally as alert, nor does he have smart responses as he used to. He also tends to forget. His memory seems to dim at times about people, places and incidents. The same goes for his wife Kamla Advani, who asked guests at home for their names at least three to four times. She doesn’t even remember whether the guest who have come home have been offered tea and coffee. So hospitable is she that at times the guests have to have multiple cups of tea. But they fail to convince Kamla ji that the tea has already been served to them.
