At almost 70 years of age, both his parents are the oldest kidney donors and recipient respectively, at the Kochi hospital. "It took 2 months of intense testing and clearance from all depts (departments) for docs (doctors) to give go ahead. Cardiac clearance is key. Age alone is not," he continued.

The touching post has over 1200 likes. An internet user wrote, "Glad to know your parents are doing well and recovering. Hugs and blessings to you and your family. :)" Another one added, "Wow! What an incredible story of love!".

Sharing a heartbreaking experience, a user commented, "Wish both of them a healthy & happy life. Every story like this feels personal since I've lost a parent due to kidney failure. I hope one day the Indian medical system will prioritise health of normal people as they do for VIPs. We got the date for transplant after 1 year."
