May be we have to re-invent vanaprastha asrama for the modern age. Give control to the children, advice limited to what we did and not judging, spend more and more time on non-earning' pursuits.

I have seen my grandfather and father giving up control on house management and let the next generation plunge into it. They were happy to lead a more leisurely and spiritual life without making any demands on or special treatment. Always ended any advice with the closing remark - you must do what you think is right and good.
