Holi Celebration at OSSA House

Birthday Celebration of Miss Ipsita

It was another day of celebration. The girl in focus was Miss Ipsita and almost 24 of our ASO colleagues accompanied the party. In OSSA House, near Keshari Talkies all of us gathered around 2:30PM to witness the occasion. 

In a traditional way Birthday Cake was cut and distributed to all. All wished the BDAY GIRL all her success in life and to have both good health and wealth. A special gift was offered to her in this occasion with good wishes of all. 

Finally came the time of treat. It was so much enjoyable beyond our expectation. Perhaps it was the combination of both clean-heart offer of Miss Ipii as well as the good preparation of the restaurant "MUST EAT". Again this restaurant became success in making us tempted with its nice dishes. 

The dishes : Chicken Lollypop, Panner Pakoda, Chilli Mushroom, Paratha, Sweets, Soft Drinks.

Thanks a lot to Miss Ipsita for her nice treat.
