Rethink Ageing: Lessons in Ageing from the Older and Bolder Generation

The book blends real-life profiles of extraordinary seniors—such as marathon runners and dance therapists—with practical insights into senior care. It challenges rigid societal norms regarding "approved" behavior for the elderly (like focusing solely on grandchildren or pilgrimages) and champions active ageing as a vital tool for modern preventive healthcare.

Nidhi Chawla and Reshmi Chakraborty are the co-founders of Silver Talkies, a social enterprise focused on active ageing. Nidhi has an extensive background in financial services and eldercare advocacy, while Reshmi is a veteran journalist with over two decades of writing experience.

• • Through engaging narratives of urban Indians navigating later life, the book dismantles the myth that biological age limits potential. It explores topics ranging from second careers and companionship to health and social barriers, ultimately urging readers of all ages to embrace the "sunset years" with curiosity, purpose, and vitality.
