From the founder: Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …

Our Third Act is a social movement, by and for older adults, powered by social enterprise. It is education and mutual support in action, as we create healthy and fulfilling lives as we age. American culture is obsessed with youth, and is stuck in an outdated paradigm of aging, so as we age we’re seen as “over the hill”, useless, decrepit and ugly. And, the societal systems for aging are far worse than negative social attitudes. Our financial structures, housing, and healthcare are completely dys …

Are you breathing right? Have you ever counted how many times you breathe in a minute? Breathing is the first act of life and it’s the last act of life.

Urbandictionary defines an ABCD as "an 'American Born Confused Desi,' which is a derogatory term used for Indians, Pakistanis, Bengladeshis (South Asians) who have grown up in the United States and who act 'American' (as stupid as that sounds)." But really, it doesn't have to be derogatory. We're fortunate enough to have the best of two worlds. While there are plenty of desi meetup groups here in the the bay area, there seems to be a void for a legit ABCD group. So, if you're an American (or eve …
