"I view my independence in terms of the way I can help people around me using my knowledge and skills."

On #August15 we asked a group of accomplished, empowered older adults what #independence meant to them. Here are their thoughts.

“When you realise that the power to make you happy or unhappy lies with you and you should not hand that power over to anyone else, that’s true independence."
@vijivenkatesh

And as always, wonderful to have your words in our mag. You're an original and an inspiration @vijivenkatesh

What does independence mean to older adults?
‘Most of us & not just women, spend our lives trying to make others happy. That in itself is a kind of bondage. How liberating it is to come out of that bondage’. As always good to talk to @Silvertalkies https://t.co/LN5Y3ohJ1e

The trainers at Bangalore Bicycling School apply several teaching strategies and follow a 6-step process – mounting, dismounting, resting position, establishing equilibrium, scooting, and pedalling.

Happening on June 17. Celebrated author #RoopaPai in conversation with Reshmi Chakraborty and Nidhi Chawla, co-authors, Rethink Ageing. #rethinkageing #talkingbooks #attagalatta

[Silver Talkies @Silvertalkies]

It reminded us of activity clubs for older adults in India, run by @DF_BLR @silverinnings @nightingalesmed and even our own club. However, organised support from the state, as mentioned by the author, could take these initiatives to a much bigger level. What do you think?

Have you heard of #Moscowlongevity? Our friend Kala Sunder writes about this wellness project for senior citizens that embodies active ageing.

@GabbbarSingh Yes, retirement is tough and what you’ve tweeted is absolutely true for many. Would also like to share another side. With the right group, engagement opps and interesting activities (just to name a few) we’ve seen a lot of retirees actually get busier as they grow older.
