Age Dispute

Age Dispute (Not of Gen V K Singh)

Monday is the weekly off at PDPK (Poorv Delhi Khel Parisar) where I daily go for swimming. Earlier it was completely closed on Monday and now it is open to walkers and joggers on Monday. Yesterday I went there for a trial run. I requested the person sitting in the office (who is known to me) to come with me for running. When he was little hesitant, I told him that I am elder to him, and if I can run he too can run. When he does not seems to be convinced about my seniority, I told him that I am 65. Then he replied that he is 63. In that case, I told him that he is 2 years younger to me.  But he countered that he is elder to me by 2 years. I am confused as both are sticking to their claim. At this point I even thought of referring the case to General V K Singh, who is expert on such matters. On further verification I found that his year of birth is 63 (1963) whereas my age is 65. I told him that my year of birth is 1950. Accordingly he is 13 years younger to me. As a proof of my age, I showed my membership card. He could not believe his eyes, but he had to believe the record prepared by his colleague.
