The first arrival of The Mother at Pondicherry

As you may be aware that at the age of thirty-six the Mother journeyed to Pondicherry, India, to meet Sri Aurobindo . She saw him on 29 March 1914 and at once recognised him as the one who for many years had inwardly been guiding her spiritual development. Staying for eleven months, she was obliged to return to France because of the First World War. She lived in France for about a year and then in Japan for almost four years. On 24 April 1920 she returned to Pondicherry to resume her collaboration with Sri Aurobindo, and remained here for the rest of her life.

To mark the first arrival of The Mother at Pondicherry, Sri Aurobindo Society, Noida Branch will have SPECIAL COLLECTIVE MEDITATION on Thursday, the 29th March, 2007 from 7.00 P.M. to 7.30 P.M. at Sri Aurobindo Bhavan, C-56/36, Sector 62.

Governing Council

A colony of about 1200 residential flats like Shipra Riviera, obviously, needs some apex body for local governance and welfare measures. But to call all the residents to assemble for a General Body Meeting of the Residents’ Welfare Association is absolutely impractical. Therefore, a system can be envisaged to do away with the GBM and create a representative body called, Governing Council.

Each block of 36 flats will elect one member of the Governing Council. Thus, the Governing Council will have about 60 members and will meet every month. The President will be elected directly and nominate the Executive Committee members from the Governing Council. tusarnmohapatra@mail.com

India's hottest city

Ghaziabad rated in world's 10 most dynamic cities

Neelam Raaj The Times of India Thursday, June 29, 2006

NEW DELHI: Believe it or not — and many inhabitants who have to battle pathetic infrastructure, chaotic traffic and soaring crime probably won't — Ghaziabad is in Newsweek's list of 10 most dynamic cities in the world. For good measure, it has also been billed "India's hottest city". Based on an advance copy of the latest UN forecasts for cities with populations greater than 750,000, Newsweek's list encompasses the fastest-growing cities in each of the world's 10 most important economies.

Only two major capitals — Moscow and London, which continue to outpace smaller rivals for unique national reasons — figure on it while the rest are aspiring middleweights like Toulouse, Munich and Las Vegas, or unknowns like Florianspolis (Brazil), Goyang (South Korea) and Fukuoka (Japan). Sanjay Verma, joint managing director of Cushman & Wakefield, attributes the rapid growth to Ghaziabad's excellent connectivity with Delhi, which creates more new jobs per year than Bangalore and Hyderabad, as well as an established IT destination like Noida.

"It's very strategically located on the old Grand Trunk Road. Not only does it attract a sizeable IT/ITES workforce from Noida, it is affordable for those who can't manage Delhi prices," he says. R C Mishra, Ghaziabad Development Authority secretary, doesn't deny that the rapid industrial development in Ghaziabad is the result of a spillover from Noida and Greater Noida. "Sahibabad was conceived as an industrial estate but Ghaziabad's growth has been quite recent," he says. Today, the city has more than 14,000 small-scale industrial units and larger plants run by giants like Coca-Cola and ITC.

Ghaziabad can boast of having only IMAX in N India

NEW DELHI: Ghaziabad has been billed "India's hottest city" by the Newsweek magazine. The spurt in high-end residential development is visible on the skyline of this factory sub-urb. Sold-out luxury condominiums, northern India's only IMAX as well as a host of glitzy malls and multiplexes have mushroomed alongside ubiquitious manufacturers of gears and gaskets. So have the GDA's plans.

Besides chalking out a Vision 2020 plan, it now has plans to wean away big players in the IT sector who have been staying away due to fears of inadequate security, power and traffic congestion. "Inquiries from corporates who want to establish a base here are coming regularly. We plan to demarcate different pockets so that the requisite infrastructural support can be provided," says Mishra.

For Leena and Siddharth Johri, who moved from a rented barsaati in upmarket Jungpura to a three-bedroom apartment in Indirapuram, reservations about living in Ghaziabad have disappeared along with rise in real estate prices. "Just two years ago, we bought our flat at the rate of Rs 1,500 per square foot and today it is over Rs 2,500. We are elated at the boom." A boom that has also placed Ghaziabad on the global map.

7th year celebrations
Sarbojonin Durga Puja and Sanskritik Samity
Shipra Riviera, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad (UP)

Greetings

It seems like a miracle that we are speeding away in the globalization train, on the one hand while being tied to our rituals and traditions, on the other. Faith and devotion are one’s personal concern but by participating in this collective Durga Puja year after year, we help generate a large stock of social capital.

Fighting and slaying the evil force is an ancient Vedic imagery that we encounter in our day-to-day life. During these week-long Durga Puja festivities, we are reminded of the need to cling to this heroic task, even while immersing in the carnival of culture and creativity.

As Indian genius is being increasingly recognized the world over, we need to be a little more careful and curious about our own wisdom and religion. New meanings and methods must be empathized and an inclusive discourse encouraged. That would be one sure way to usher in peace and harmony.

Indirapuram

Indirapuram is one of the fastest growing sub-cities in the country. As a satellite township adjoining the National Capital Territory- Delhi, it has its own importance and possibility. But an integrated approach to its future development is missing. The concept of NCR was stretched too far to be a workable proposition. As a result, transportation and communication integration remains a distant dream. Even DMRC is myopic not to think of Indirapuram, as of now.

Chandigarh should have gone to Punjab and Delhi could be integrated with Haryana. If a new state is formed comrising East-Delhi and West-UP, then the momentum of development can be geared up. A comprehensive vision for the whole area is the need of the hour.

Upasana: 2003

Once again the much-awaited autumn days are here and we are invoking the auspicious presence of Maa Durga along with her family. While we worship them with purity, sincerity and surrender, the five deities imbue us with power, wisdom, prosperity, excellence and innovation.

No wonder, a whole lot of artistic possibilities and creative efflorescence come flooding during these week-long festivities. Along with sports events and competitions in traditional arts and amusements, they offer ample recreations as well as cultural inducement to the young and the old alike living in our campus.

While I am beholden to the individuals and institutions for their continued patronage of this annual venture, I invite you all to come forward with open hearts to partake of the Divine benediction and receive inspiration for a life of collaboration, solidarity and harmony.

Harpal Singh: A Visionary

Indirapuram was planned and conceived as an ambitious project by the GDA years ago, but it did not take off because of lack of infrastructural facilities. Many residential colonies built by the GDA were lying unsold and abandoned. Though pivotally situated amidst Noida, Ghaziabad and east Delhi, the area used to wear a deserted look.

And then came Shri Harpal Singh. With his daring vision, Shri Harpal Singh worked upon a semi-built LIG colony built by the GDA and transformed it into Shipra Riviera, a sprawling residential complex with all modern facilities. Through innovative marketing strategies, the project became an instant success and within a year, nearly 1000 families found their homes, thanks to Shri Harpal Singh.

Now, of course, Indirapuram has become the most sought after destination within the National Capital Region and a large number of real estate companies have set up their apartment complexes and Malls. Still, Shri Harpal Singh can really be described as the founder of Indirapuram , but for whose catalytic role the development of the area and its adjoining colonies would not have taken place so rapidly.

Although, the untimely demise of Shri Harpal Singh robbed the residents of Shipra Riviera, of a friend and a well wisher, his memory lingers in the popular imagination.

Each flat in Shipra Sun City carries the hallmarked functionality of Shipra. The rooms have been kept spacious and airy with ample gap between different rows of houses. The kitchen each flat in Shipra Sun City carries the hallmarked functionality of Shipra. The rooms have been kept spacious and airy with ample gap between different rows of houses.
