old is beyond gold

I happened to meet today a mentor/guide after a very long time (some 20 years or so) .. he was the CEO of first company I joined in 1999 .. I was employee # 200+ at that time .. still he is not only in touch but enthusiastically supports cause of Samskritam that I am passionate about .. he is older than my father - at this age he spent almost whole day with me showing around - very impressed .. mama saubhagyam 

'old' relationships/friends/connections .. all are certainly invaluable .. gold is nothing :)
