Founder of K2k4 concept was happy to share the project Kapil Mitra, Advocate K2k4~Art on Postcards wherein Senior Citizens will not only enhance their memory, health, peace, social connectivity but also earnings by writing two postcards daily. In the gathering of 21 Senior Citizens, he demonstrated a technique to memorize mobile number of President Mr. J. R. Gupta 98-104-880-59. Common series of starting mobile numbers is 98. Then 104 can be memorized as four pillars of our life Dharm-Arth-Kaam-Moksh. 880 is double of high voltage 440 and he said Mr. J. R. Gupta has double the energy than the high voltage of 440. And the last two digits 59 are the sign of his being young i.e. consider he is one year younger than the age of being Senior Citizens. He made it so easy that within 30 seconds all the members memorized Mr. J.R.Gupta’s number. He stressed on better bonding and better relationship with better memory. He has invited applications from Senior Citizens for the project K2k4~Art on Postcards and guaranteed increment in quality of life by balancing 5 planes of life i.e. Spiritual-Mental-Physical-Social Emotional & Material (Sva-Smriti-Shakti-Samanvay-Sampada) .
