From the Desk of the Jt. MD In This Issue... Dear Friends, Page 5, 6 & 9 Valentine’s Day: Best Dressed Thanks for the lovely letters and feedback about the new format of Apna Competitions and Love Odes, as well Ashiana. Our editor Ms. Madhu Chandra keeps innovating to make Apna as taking Oaths to Safeguard the Ashiana more interesting. It is now reaching a lot more people and I hope you Dignity of Women... all find it informative. It was truly special to win an award from BMA for CSR activity in Bhiwadi for the second year running. My elder brother Vishal, who is passionate about design as well as CSR, has transformed the Govt. School, Thada into not just a superior learning place but also a beautiful space. I would recommend a visit to the school to anyone who gets the chance. I was myself amazed to see what my brother and the team have achieved: they have created a model government school capable of giving quality education to children. The enrolment has increased from 70 to approximately 170. Page 8 Ashiana Women’s Cricket It was also wonderful to be nominated for the Best Senior Living Project in Asia Tournament at Pacific by Ageing Asia in Singapore. Every time we get nominated or win an award for Senior Living, it reminds me of my Dad’s passion and how he fulfilled his dream of creating places where seniors in could lead active, healthy and secure lifestyles. I would also like to thank all our customers who made both our launches last year so successful. Aangan Neemrana Phase 1 sold out in record time and Anantara Jamshedpur Phase 1 is almost sold out. We shall be launching many projects this year and I look forward to your continued support. Page 9 A fabulous new Club House at Always Keep Smiling!
