In This Issue...
Dear Friends,
Our Bhiwadi Utsavites danced to ‘Mera
joota hai Japani’ at the event held in
Mumbai for our Senior Living project at
Lavasa - Page 5
This last quarter gave me many opportunities for public speaking and imparting
training. The most interesting experience was the presentation I gave in Mumbai
about our Senior Living Project at Lavasa. It was great to interact with existing
and prospective customers, and a great learning too. I also want to express my
appreciation for the charming performances put up at the event by our residents
of Ashiana Utsav, Bhiwadi. The interesting props added to their delightful and
expressive acts and it was obvious that a lot of thought and effort had gone into
the performances. I thank them from the bottom of my heart!
Another wonderful experience was my training session for the entire sales team
which was held at Bhiwadi. As the sales team grew, I lost touch with many of them;
during the training, I was able to interact once again and understand the kind
of work they have been doing. It was just wonderful to hear all the stories and
customer services they are providing.

Antakshari Competition at Jamshedpur

Last quarter we also launched Ashiana Surbhi, Bhiwadi. I must compliment the
design team and the architect who have carved out such good-sized rooms when
we had restrained two bedroom units to 845 sq. ft. (78.50 sq. mts.) and three
bedroom units to 1100 sq. ft. (102.19 sq. mts.). The design, coupled with the
usage of the new 'Wall Form' construction technology, will enable us to achieve
even faster construction. These factors give this project a definite edge which has
translated into the great bookings we have received for the project.
I am also super excited about a new event we will be starting in September. This
event, Jashn, will be the first inter-senior living project competition which will be
held at Bhiwadi. The modalities are being worked out right now; if you have any
questions please send an email to [email protected]. This event will
be for World Elders Day and would be dedicated to the founder of Ashiana.

Our Core Values in Action
We’ve Got Mail...
Going the Extra Mile
Utsav Bhiwadi couple, Mrs. and Mr. Ratra have written in to
share their views about Senior Living.
Our Bhoomi Pujan for Ashiana Surbhi, Bhiwadi was
to be done on May 2, 2014. However, the approach
road to the site was not complete and would
have made things inconvenient for all our guests
coming for the Bhoomi Pujan. Mr. R D Sharma and
Mr. Raghunath Singh, our supervisors, took up the
challenge and worked diligently overnight and got
the road ready in 2 days.
When we bought a flat in this complex our relatives and friends thought
we were foolish to invest in a place like Bhiwadi, and that too in a Senior
Citizen Complex, which is normally considered an old people’s ‘ashram’.
But one visit to Utsav changed their mindset so much that many of
them sold their houses in big cities to settle down here!
Ashiana Utsav provides various facilities and a congenial atmosphere
to the residents who come from different walks of life and are well
travelled. We ladies are especially happy as we can get a respite from
the drudgery of the kitchen thanks to the clean and well equipped
cafeteria-dining hall with reasonably priced, homely food.
Mr. R D Sharma
Mr. Raghunath Singh
Happiness all Around
Never Giving Up
Mr. Mukesh Sharma
joined Ashiana in Sept.
2013 as HR Rep at
Bhiwadi. He saw that
there were many PF
cases which were
pending. He took the
initiative to have the
cases settled. Till date
he has applied for 13
cases and achieved
success in all 13 cases.
He cleared the matter
within 2 months. He
was
awarded
the
Best Employee - 2014
during the Family Fiesta
for this achievement.
Mr. Mahindra Prasad
joined Ashiana as a
Mason in 1989 at
Ashiana
Gardens
Jamshedpur. Because
of his hard work, honesty
and co-operative nature,
he was promoted to
civil foreman in 1992.
By studying 2-3 hours
daily, he also passed
the supervisor’s training
programs Spac - I and
Spac - II and in 2014,
Spac - III with good
results. He has the
qualities of a team
leader.

FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION ONLY
I hope that Ashiana Utsav will retain its high standards of maintenance.
The expectations of the residents that remain to be provided include a
well-equipped mini hospital and healthcare provisions. And unauthorised
under age people should not be allowed to stay in Utsav.
Mrs. Harmeet Ratra
Ashiana Utsav, Bhiwadi
Traditionally parents and grandparents have been responsible for
bringing up families practically for their whole life under the ‘joint family’
concept. Our society has undergone huge transformations over the last
few decades and this has brought to the fore two issues: elders are
sometimes considered a burden by their children; the children do not
want interference in their lives. On the other hand, elders too desire an
independent life; a life of their own choice and comfort and not just being
‘service providers’ to the children.
The need of the hour was homes specifically to cater to senior citizens
and Ashiana Housing deserves compliments for having the vision
to provide this facility. Here, at Utsav, residents exchange their life
experiences and they grow older but more active. Participating in monthend parties and festivals, well dressed and smart, one can only remark
that all these senior citizen-residents have left behind their ‘Life minus’,
and joined the Utsav Group of ‘Life plus’. As residents and visitors alike
comment frequently, ‘we are living in Heaven; we are Swarg-wasis!’
