The term Third Place was coined by Ray Oldenburg in 1989. 

It is not home (the first place), not work or school (the second); but the informal, shared ground in between: a courtyard, a park bench, a tea stall, a community hall. 

Historically, these were where generations naturally mixed.  

Third Places take the pressure away from family to cater to every need of all family members. 

Sadly,

today, in many Indian cities, they're disappearing and being replaced by spaces implicitly designed for the young, or "senior-only" spaces designed to keep older adults comfortable but separate.

In a world where we all are surrounded by the stress and strains of daily life, each one of us is ALONE even in the safe boundaries of our houses. Our mental well-being has taken a toll, and scrolling on mobile phones has become our only  time-pass. The old and the young are equally affected by this loneliness. 

But, it can't be denied that as become old, we are further pushed away and access to meaningful entertainment becomes limited. 

Therefore, we need to reinvent age-inclusive third places to bring back happiness and warmth in our societies and families.  

Let's bring back the charm of gathering at nukkads, tapris and card clubs.
