Ambadas Ninave won't have to spend his sunset years alone in the crumbling Moti building anymore. Following mid-day's June 10 report '96-year-old's life crumbles around him, literally', an NGO from Mira Road has taken him out of the nearly demolished building and under its care. Ninave now spends his days eating good food, listening to old songs and reciting Tulisdas's dohe.

Ninave tells mid-day, "I'm having a nice time at the end of my life and am very happy here." This happiness was absent from his life in Moti building, where he was the only resident after the Bhiwandi Municipal Corporation began demolishing it.
