He ended up developing resort communities in places from Sante Fe to Fiji. But then the 2008 financial crisis hit, and that all came to an end.

He introduces me to a beautiful older woman, with a shock of silver hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is Kulu Paul, known here as Kulu Ma, Arun Paul's mother, and the not-so-unofficial queen of the courtyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband moved from their single-family home in Southern California to be closer to her son, his wife and their grandchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But that is not only the reason we moved,” Kulu Ma says. “We like to live with the community.” She says she wants to have people and friends around so they have company whenever they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahesh Uncle and Kulu Ma tell me that in India, old people’s homes were not like they are now, in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Old people were just sent to a home to stay,” Mahesh Uncle says. They were told, “now this is where you are -- you don’t belong to the house -- so this is where you are.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In India not belonging to a house is like being excommunicated. If you are put away from the home, the world shuts off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the courtyard of Priya Living, the world keeps beating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we drink our chai and eat biscuits, people float in and out of their apartments. A resident is guided through physical therapy while the grandkids of other residents run around. A little girl, about 4 years old, a granddaughter of one of the residents, has just been to the dentist. She can't speak because of the bandage in her mouth, but she makes laps around the courtyard. There is a hum of conversation and a proximity to neighbors, a way of occupying communal space, that reminds me of only one place. India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe you can recreate India in an urban stretch of space in America, as has been done in New York and Chicago. But on the surface, it does not seem as easy to make a model of India in the sprawling strip malls and gated communities of these Silicon Valley suburbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some strange way, that is exactly what is happening here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A resident, who has been exercising on an adult-size tricycle, stops to sit at the folding table where we are taking tea. Mahesh Uncle introduces him as Mr. Sudhakar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Sudhakar tells me that he came here, to Priya Living, with his wife all the way from Wisconsin. I ask him how he ended up in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I fly,” he says, deadpan. “How else do you think?” Everyone laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jokes aside, he and his wife have come here to be closer to their daughter, who lives in Cupertino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tea time is over and Mahesh Uncle starts recruiting residents for the afternoon activity of karaoke. He's talking about old Bollywood songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahesh Uncle says he is very happy being an “almost senior” at Priya. He takes the lead in singing karaoke, with his clear, unabashed voice, cajoling the others to join in and sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahesh says when it comes to the end, the final moments of his life, he knows he has to go back home to India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last innings absolutely of my life I should spend there,” Mahesh Uncle says. “I should die there, in India.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who stay in the States, communities like Priya Living create a hybrid space, at once both very Indian and very American, trying to replicate a faraway home for those who can afford it.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"In the Bay Area, where many Silicon Valley suburbs have large populations of South Asians, communities for elderly immigrants are poised to become a growth industry.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1523055569,"stats":{"hasAudio":true,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":47,"wordCount":1550},"headData":{"title":"A Retirement Home of Their Own: South Asians Move Into Senior Living | KQED","description":"In the Bay Area, where many Silicon Valley suburbs have large populations of South Asians, communities for elderly immigrants are poised to become a growth industry.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"A Retirement Home of Their Own: South Asians Move Into Senior Living","datePublished":"2018-04-06T22:16:13.000Z","dateModified":"2018-04-06T22:59:29.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11655567 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11655567","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/04/06/a-retirement-home-of-their-own-south-asians-move-into-senior-living/","disqusTitle":"A Retirement Home of Their Own: South Asians Move Into Senior Living","path":"/news/11655567/a-retirement-home-of-their-own-south-asians-move-into-senior-living","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>As one gets older there can be a longing for the smells, sounds and tastes of the worlds in which we first became ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants, too, often yearn for a familiar past, for the homeland in which they were born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a parallel between the immigrant experience and the experience of aging.

He tells me they are creating an outdoor screening room here, something Paul describes as inspired by the movie \"Cinema Paradiso,\" “but done with a bit of a Bollywood twist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A one-bedroom in this complex will cost about $2,500 a month, which Paul says is below market rate for this kind of retirement community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul is not the only developer \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/29/health/retirement-communities-indian-chinese.html\">tapping into this trend\u003c/a>. There are now South Asian-specific retirement communities in New Jersey and New York. There is even one in the American retiree mecca of Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Paul’s initial inspiration, his parents, he says he did get them to move north from Cerritos to Santa Clara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Santa Clara Priya courtyard, Mahesh Uncle has put out all the remaining chaat. He introduces me to a beautiful older woman, with a shock of silver hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is Kulu Paul, known here as Kulu Ma, Arun Paul's mother, and the not-so-unofficial queen of the courtyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband moved from their single-family home in Southern California to be closer to her son, his wife and their grandchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But that is not only the reason we moved,” Kulu Ma says. “We like to live with the community.” She says she wants to have people and friends around so they have company whenever they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahesh Uncle and Kulu Ma tell me that in India, old people’s homes were not like they are now, in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Old people were just sent to a home to stay,” Mahesh Uncle says. They were told, “now this is where you are -- you don’t belong to the house -- so this is where you are.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In India not belonging to a house is like being excommunicated. If you are put away from the home, the world shuts off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the courtyard of Priya Living, the world keeps beating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we drink our chai and eat biscuits, people float in and out of their apartments. A resident is guided through physical therapy while the grandkids of other residents run around. A little girl, about 4 years old, a granddaughter of one of the residents, has just been to the dentist. She can't speak because of the bandage in her mouth, but she makes laps around the courtyard. There is a hum of conversation and a proximity to neighbors, a way of occupying communal space, that reminds me of only one place. India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe you can recreate India in an urban stretch of space in America, as has been done in New York and Chicago. But on the surface, it does not seem as easy to make a model of India in the sprawling strip malls and gated communities of these Silicon Valley suburbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some strange way, that is exactly what is happening here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A resident, who has been exercising on an adult-size tricycle, stops to sit at the folding table where we are taking tea. Mahesh Uncle introduces him as Mr. Sudhakar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Sudhakar tells me that he came here, to Priya Living, with his wife all the way from Wisconsin. I ask him how he ended up in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I fly,” he says, deadpan. “How else do you think?” Everyone laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jokes aside, he and his wife have come here to be closer to their daughter, who lives in Cupertino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tea time is over and Mahesh Uncle starts recruiting residents for the afternoon activity of karaoke. He's talking about old Bollywood songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahesh Uncle says he is very happy being an “almost senior” at Priya. He takes the lead in singing karaoke, with his clear, unabashed voice, cajoling the others to join in and sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahesh says when it comes to the end, the final moments of his life, he knows he has to go back home to India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last innings absolutely of my life I should spend there,” Mahesh Uncle says. “I should die there, in India.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who stay in the States, communities like Priya Living create a hybrid space, at once both very Indian and very American, trying to replicate a faraway home for those who can afford it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11655567/a-retirement-home-of-their-own-south-asians-move-into-senior-living","authors":["7239"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_1169","news_8"],"tags":["news_22750","news_3735"],"featImg":"news_11655568","label":"news_72"},"news_11477652":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11477652","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11477652","score":null,"sort":[1495836559000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"golden-gate-bridge-district-braces-for-a-wave-of-retirements","title":"Golden Gate Bridge District Braces for a Wave of Retirements","publishDate":1495836559,"format":"standard","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>The workforce at the \u003ca href=\"http://goldengate.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District\u003c/a> is aging.
