What a beautiful initiative! In our culture, we often treat seniors like they're done with life, but Usha ji proves age is just a number. Her voice still gives me goosebumps after all these years. More power to GenS Life for changing the narrative! 👏

Usha Uthup is truly an inspiration! My grandmother is 72 and runs her own tailoring business - this anthem would speak to her soul. We need more role models like this in India where youth obsession is so strong. Can't wait to hear the full song!

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish they'd featured more ordinary seniors rather than celebrities. My retired school teacher father has an equally inspiring story at 68. The message is good but could be more inclusive of regular people.

"Hari Om Hari" still plays at every family function! Usha ji's energy is infectious. This is such a desi take on active aging - we need this in a country where retirement often means being confined to the house. More power to our golden generation! 🌟

The timing of this is perfect! With increasing life expectancy, India needs to rethink how we view our elders. My 65-year-old mother just started learning Bharatnatyam - proof that passion has no expiry date. Kudos to the team behind this project!

Usha aunty is my forever mood! 😍 This reminds me of my nani who started painting at 70 and now sells her artwork. Indian seniors have so much to offer if we just give them opportunities. Hope this anthem goes viral and changes some mindsets!
