Here is an interesting read in Hindu today about Lakshmi alias Esther. The article reports her date of birth (according to a copy of her horoscope documents) is February 25, 1893.
According to the Guinness book of world records, the oldest person on earth is a Dutch woman by the name of Hendrikje Andel-Schippers; she is 113 years old and died recently. I guess Esther easily must be the oldest women alive in world (surely in India) today. She is 112 years old, if our census boards were right she could easily enter the Guiness book of world records.
It Just proves that from birth to death the female is the stronger sex. By the way at what age do you think you will die?
