An Army veteran, who has crossed a century, defies the age with his sprightly demeanour, keeping his family members hooked with all eyes and ears wide open to hear about his feat. It is the reiteration they all are aware of, but still, the respect for the veteran, holds them in rapt attention, who are quick to help him at times to connect the dots.
M. K. Veeraraj Urs, aged 101 years, is living a life of content along with his nonagenarian wife B. Nagarathna, aged 91, at the LIG house he was allotted by City Improvement Trust Board (CITB) which later came to be known as Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), near Ganapathi temple at Kuvempunagar in the city.
