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.

Happy Womens Day - 2017

Respect your parents (A Short Story)

After his father’s death, the Son decided to leave his mother at old age home and visited her on and off.
Once he received a call from old age home….Mom very serious ….. please come to visit.

Son went and saw mom very critical, on her dying bed.

He asked: Mom what can I do for you?

Mom replied… “Please install fans in the old age home, there are none…. Also put a fridge for betterment of food because many times I slept without food”.

Son was surprised and asked: mom, while you were here you never complained, now you have few hours left and you are telling me all this, why?

Mom replied…..”it’s OK dear, I’ve managed with the heat, hunger & pain, but when your children will send you here, I am afraid you will not be able to manage!
