<strong>CSC</strong> in <strong>India</strong> Celebrates Independence Day<br />

Talent Hunt<br />

The 60 th year of the <strong>India</strong>n independence was marked with great enthusiasm and solemn celebrations at all<br />

the <strong>CSC</strong> locations in <strong>India</strong> on August 15, 2006.<br />

With the Independence Day round the corner, one of the teams added a patriotic touch to their workplace<br />

area by organizing the ‘Decorate your cube area’ contest with Independence Day as the theme. There was<br />

enthusiastic participation among everyone and one could see flags, balloons, kites and even lights of the<br />

national colors everywhere.<br />

The CyberLife-GUL-RPS team won the first prize with<br />

the Life70 team a close second. The Vantage Base<br />

and DVR-LUS teams won special prizes. The following<br />

quote of Romain Rolland epitomized the Independence<br />

Day spirit:<br />

If there is one place on the face of the earth where all<br />

the dreams of living men have found a home from the<br />

very earliest days when man began the dream of<br />

existence, it is <strong>India</strong>.<br />

Apart from this, the Social Services Committee (SSC) members celebrated the occasion with senior citizens<br />

of Anand Niketan, an old age home in Noida. Volunteers from <strong>CSC</strong> Noida went to Anand Niketan early<br />

morning on August 15 to decorate their premises with tricolor balloons, colorful ribbons and national flags.<br />

Patriotic songs from old Hindi films created the perfect ambience to celebrate the 60 th Independence Day of<br />

<strong>India</strong>.<br />

The celebration started with the flag hoisting by Mr. B.R. Arora, managing trustee of Anand Niketan. It was<br />

followed by antakshari (music competition) and tambola (number game), organized by the volunteers of<br />

<strong>CSC</strong>. Members of the Rotary club presented dance performances on the occasion.<br />

Ms. Neelima Mishra, secretary and trustee, said, “It’s heartening to see so many young people sharing their<br />

time with senior citizens and celebrating the most auspicious event of our country.<br />

I must thank them for their empathy and compassion for<br />

the residents of Anand Niketan and making it a<br />

memorable event. <strong>CSC</strong> celebrates the Independence Day<br />

at Anand Niketan every year. It also organizes movie<br />

shows for the residents of this old age home every<br />

month.”<br />

Similarly, the <strong>CSC</strong> employees in Indore celebrated the<br />

Independence Day with unfurling of the tricolor. Many<br />

school children assembled and added to the spirit and<br />

gaiety of the occasion.
