<strong>There are hardly any spaces for the elderly people to sit, converse, eat and enjoy each other&rsquo;s company. Breaking this trend is an eating outlet in Hyderabad&rsquo;s Tellapur called Paaka Organic Caf&eacute;.</strong></p>
<p>
The caf&eacute; has started an initiative yesterday which aims to congregate the senior citizens and give them a chance to enjoy good food and nostalgic conversation. Nourishing themselves with homemade organic food, the elderly can swap stories of the days gone by.</p>
<p>
The caf&eacute;, which is known for providing cultural space for independent arts, has decided that it will invite the elderly every month for a joyful evening.</p>

Talking to New Indian Express, Bharath Dantuluri, founder of the caf&eacute; said: &ldquo;We have been hosting different kinds of events ever since we set up shop. We hold movie screenings, stand-up comedy nights, open mic and other events on a regular basis. We had also hosted events curated to specific age groups — such as ladies&rsquo; night, kids&rsquo; night, couples&rsquo; night and a few others. But, the idea of elders&rsquo; night has a personal reason behind it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Explaining this, he said those running caf&eacute; have not been able to take time out for their families, especially the grandparents. &ldquo;We feel disconnected from our lives and our elders. We are basically creating a space to engage with the elderly over food. We hope this concept works; it would give shape to a club where elderly people can meet and hangout.&rdquo;</p>

The type of evening will include people gathered around a bonfire, enjoying some soothing music and some delicious snacks.</p>
<p>
The caf&eacute; offers multi-cuisine food from across the country. &ldquo;We serve traditional homemade food inspired by the length and breadth of the country. We also have a changing menu, as we keep tweaking recipes. Sometimes it&rsquo;s themed — we have a Bihari menu, Rajasthani and so on. Everything we make here is organic,&rdquo; remarked Bharath.</p>
