Seniors looking for love and companionship, pay attention. This is your chance to take a shot at love and friendship in your sunset years. The renowned Silver Inning Foundation, one of the country’s foremost entities working for senior citizens, is hosting its 2nd ‘Jeevan Saathi Sammelan’, a matchmaking event for marriage and live-in relationships.

All you have to do is register for the event beforehand and show up at the venue in Mumbai on December 13, 2015. The event will be held at 10 am at Dadar Cultural Centre. To register, fill out the form online (http://theseniorcitizen.in/register-here/) and send it to Silver Inning Foundation (look for address and details below).

The event is aimed at helping widowed, divorced and single men and women over 50 years of age seek love and companionship in their senior years. “We must break away from the old tradition of frowning upon our elders seeking love, and seek a new tradition of encouraging them to seek friendship and love at their age. In their advanced years, it is important for them to have a partner to share their lives with,” explains Silver Inning Foundation’s Sailesh Mishra.

The last such Sammelan, also held in Mumbai two years ago, received a staggering response with over 350 people showing up to look for partners. This time, the Foundation hopes that more people will arrive. The Metrognome is the online partner for the event.

Benedict Cumberbatch comes to Mumbai

…via a live screening of his new play, ‘Hamlet’ at the Godrej Dance Theatre, the NCPA, this evening and tomorrow.

The man who took the world by storm by playing the titular role in the BBC One series Sherlock is in Mumbai. Well, not really. For those who are suffering from Benedict Cumberbatch withdrawal symptoms (S04 of Sherlock screens not before next year), the NCPA has a bit of a repreive.

Cumberbatch can be seen at the NCPA this evening and tomorrow as he portrays Hamlet in the Barbican production of William Shakespeare’s most popular play, ‘Hamlet‘. The play will be screened for audiences at the venue. For the uninitiated, the story of Hamlet goes thus: ‘As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Prince Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the State.’

 

The British actor has won rave reviews for his portrayal of the Prince of Darkness, in a return to theatre alongside a trailblazing career in film and television. The play has now stopped production in the UK while the lead actor returns to his film duties in Hollywood, but it is being screened all over the world in association with the National Theatre Live.

Head to the Godrej Dance Theatre, NCPA today, Friday, November 11, 2015 and tomorrow Saturday, November 12, at 7 pm. Tickets cost Rs 500.
