Welcome!  "Wings" is a group comprising of well-qualified Silicon Valley professionals of upbeat single-again Indians mostly from the Bay Area (and as well as members from across the country), who have come together for friendship and company, for having fun and for support. All of us are unique in our background - representing cultures from nearly every part of India.

Since it's inception back in early '99, we have grown to over 350 members. Many of us are single parents (some who are just single-again), and the one thing that binds us is the common experience of our past marriage. We have been getting together for almost 9 years and it has been a very enjoyable, rewarding and even life-transforming experience for all of us. The common experience of a past marriage binds us and makes us accept each other, but not dwell on the past. Yes, it’s time to move on!

What we do :

We partake in several informal group activities (with/out kids) and each of us are quite unique and fun (with members representing virtually every state of India, things are apt to be anything but exciting). Casual get-togethers for dinners, movies, dancing, camping, picnics as well as out-of-town trips (all with/out kids) are common - as are celebrations for religious functions (Holi, Diwali et al). The idea is to re-build, re-live and re-learn some of the fun times of our past, and move on with our lives in a positive fashion. 

In addition to catering towards the needs of our own fellow members, we are now in the process of carrying on our tradition of giving back to our community by initiating talks to assist other community service groups (such as feeding the homeless).

Organization :

Wings is run by a voluntary committee of several people: Arathi, Bela, Bela R, Kaushal, Millie, Shamyo and Sudhir. Decisions are made jointly on the day-to-day functioning of the group. Membership dues of $20/year are used to purchase miscellaneous items, primarily for the various events hosted by the group (for people not residing locally in the Bay area, the membership dues are voluntary). Please feel free to contact any of the members for suggestions or questions.
