Event Description : TALK `The Silver Streak’ / Your Happiness Quotient – Creativity for Women Over 50’ Dialogue with Anuradha Kapur. Followed by a Q&A session.

The age group 50+ comes with its own set of gender and age related preconceptions and roles. Some good: whether married or not, one lives a life filled with a variety of activities from spending time with old friends to enjoying burgeoning relationships with grandkids and grown up children and enjoying one’s well deserved leisure time. Some bad: one may have been tagged with labels such as ‘over the hill’, or perhaps may not have received the encouragement needed to grow and further ones abilities. It is possible to also experience regret for not having followed creative activities because of familial responsibilities. 
This dialogue, presented in association with Katyayani, will bring out the creativity that could not flourish. Be it art, photography, singing, dancing, theatre, poetry or prose, the interactions will help open up hidden talents to others.
