Silver lining

Tai chi practice for senior citzens

Mumbai's senior citizens have a lot to look forward to this week as a popular watering hole has a fun-filled week lined up for them. Open to elders from all walks of life, the organisers have various kinds of workshops, ice-breakers and brain teasers in place.

This is a unique concept organised in collaboration with Dignity Foundation, an NGO for senior citizens. The events are inspired by the NGO's "chai-masti" centres that are open to the elderly every day for various programmes that include physical exercise, spiritual sessions, and arts and craft.

Aruna Anand, CEO of the foundation says, "We wanted to introduce fun activities for the elderly, so they have something to look forward to, and help them deal better with the various ailments that come with old age."
