Apna Ashiana Vol. 12 No. 47 Quarter III, 2014 From the Desk of the Jt. MD In This Issue... Dear Friends, Jashn — Our Sports and Cultural Festival What I witnessed during Jashn – India’s First Senior Living Sports & Cultural Festival organised by Ashiana – was without doubt the best experience I have had this year. For the two days of the festival, I saw energy, competition, collaboration and love. I am unable to express my feelings in words. Every time human potential is pushed, a better world is born and I believe I saw that happen during Jashn. When an 85-year-old competes in a walking competition, when a carrom game finishes at midnight, when the finals of a Table Tennis match last for an hour, and when the grand finale is an 80+ couple, dressed in the most beautiful wedding finery, walking the ramp with love in their eyes... words cannot do justice to the emotions one feels. I would like to thank the entire team, the residents, the vendors and the participants for making the event a grand success. Another reason for my happiness was the launch of the book ‘Wisdom from the Heart’ by Madhu Chandra (Editor of Apna Ashiana). The book covers key principles and lessons from the life of the founder of Ashiana, Mr. Om Gupta. We have already received many compliments for the book. If any of you want a free copy, please send an email to rememberingom@ashianahousing.com My own view is that the book, with simple stories about Om Gupta, talks about his way of living life and what we can learn from it. In the next issue I would like to carry the feedback we get for the book so please send in your feedback to rememberingom@ashianahousing.com The ‘josh’ for Jashn was evident in participants and spectators alike Your Dream Home Coming Up The dining area of the sample flat at Ashiana Dwarka, Jodhpur The Ashiana Lifestyle Always keep smiling! ‘Sit & Draw’ is one of the many events at Ashiana to keep children well-occupied and motivated From L : Kalpana Rawat and Shubra Mishra, Jaipur; Team Bhiwadi with their Champions Trophy; Neera and Mohan Chopra, Bhiwadi; Surekha and Ajit Lele, Lavasa Masthead : Multiple talents and many hues of human capabilities...on display at Jashn: Ashiana’s Senior Living Festival Corporate Communiqué Ashiana Utsav Lavasa awarded 'Senior Living Project of the Year' Ashiana wins Researchbytes Investor Communication Award Corporate Social Responsibility Senior Living Talk at the Taj, Pune Independence Day at Phoolwari Training and Development Skill Training Ashiana Staff at the Somany Tiles Training session Bulbul Mankani, AGM, Ashiana Utsav, and Dr. Muralidhara, Manager, Care Homes receive the award for Ashiana Utsav Lavasa Our project for senior citizens in the beautiful hill city of Lavasa, Ashiana Utsav, has been awarded the ‘Senior Living Project of the Year’ by Realty Excellence Awards - 2014.

Additionally, Ashiana Housing Ltd. has an Investor Communication Rating (IC Rating) of 4.6 on a scale of 5. This is one of the highest ratings amongst Indian listed companies.

Mr. Ankur Gupta Jt. MD, AHL, addressing a full house at Pune Mr. Ankur Gupta, Jt. M.D., Ashiana Housing gave an enlightening talk about various aspects of Senior Living at Hotel Vivanta by Taj at Pune on August 31. He spoke about the purpose behind Ashiana’s Senior Living complexes and what it offers. He also explained the concept of Continuing Care Retirement Communities and Aging in Place as the 150-strong audience comprising existing and prospective Ashiana customers listened with interest. The audience was later enthralled by the performances of our Senior Living residents from Bhiwadi and Jaipur who displayed their talents on the stage, singing and dancing with exemplary verve! They had come all the way to Pune to share their experiences with other senior citizens. Getting in line to sing the National Anthem on Independence Day at Phoolwari, Ashiana Town, Bhiwadi August 15 was celebrated at all Phoolwari Schools at Ashiana site locations. Our effort is to make it much more than a holiday by educating the children and instilling feelings of patriotism and appreciation for the freedom fighters. Computer Based Learning Debate Competition Prize winners beam proudly with their trophies won at the Debate Competition organized by Ashiana at Alampur Govt School Utsavites Visit Govt. School The word 'winning' here refers not just to the winning, successful strategies that are responsible for the standing that Ashiana today commands, but also for Om Gupta's endearing, straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to living the best life possible. Friends, associates, employees and family members shared thoughtprovoking incidents, inspiring learnings and heart-stirring stories. The result is the book, 'Wisdom from the Heart - Life and Career Lessons from the Life of Ashiana's Founder, Om Gupta'. The book was launched at the Jashn 2014 finale ceremony in Bhiwadi on Sept. 28, 2014. Utsav Jaipur RWA members presented books to kids at Kalwar Road Govt. School 2 Five new training sessions were inaugurated for the FY 14-15: Bar Bending and Electricals at Ashiana Town site - Bhiwadi, Bar Bending at Vrinda Gardens site - Jaipur, Masonry at Ashiana Anantara site - Jamshedpur and Electricals at Ashiana Utsav site - Lavasa. The Importance of Skill Training In partnership with Literacy India, the Ashiana Foundation has set up Computer Labs at Govt. Schools at another two villages in Bhiwadi. Wisdom from the Heart Helping others grow, improve and lead a better life...this was a passion, a zeal and a way of life for Om Gupta, founder of Ashiana Housing Ltd. People who knew him in different capacities and across all age groups wrote touching letters after his passing in January 2013; they talked of how much they had learnt from him and how he had been instrumental in improving their lives. These letters inspired the thought that we should record and share with others the winning ways of Om Gupta. Skill Training class in Masonry in progress at Anantara site, Jamshedpur Meeting with contractors at Vrinda Gardens, Jaipur, to explain the advantages of skill training Mr. A Gongopadhyay, Consultant, CSR; Mr. Yashpal Singh, Project Manager, Vrinda Gardens and Mrs. Sunita Arora, Executive (CSR) held a meeting with all the contractors of the Vrinda Gardens project, Jaipur, to impress upon the contractors the importance of skill training for the labourers working under them. During the last quarter, Ashiana’s HR Dept. organized multiple training sessions to enhance behavioural and technical skills. These sessions were held at different locations for various departments so as to benefit the maximum number of people. The topics covered included: Personal Grooming, Material Management, Business Etiquette, Presentation Skills, Sales Training, Financial Planning, STEPS Training and High-Rise Building Safety Audit.

Taurus is ready for painting, RCC work is complete in Gemini, Leo is in the final slab stage and Orient’s slab has been cast till the 9th floor. Slab casting is complete in all eight buildings in Phase I of Ashiana Town. This was achieved in record time, thanks to the efforts of VP Mr. P.K. Jaiswal and his team of engineers. The sample flat of Ashiana Dwarka, Jodhpur is ready. It was time to invite our customers for a visit to get a good look at it. We combined this with a ‘Know Your Neighbour’ event where we entertained our guests with a comedy plus musical evening, besides giving them an opportunity to meet one another. Our Ashiana Amarbagh and Ashiana Dwarka customers attended the event. Visitors to Vrinda Gardens were impressed and curious on seeing the curing procedures being carried out. Our engineers were happy to explain the process and its advantages. A happy occasion was the celebration of Vishwakarma Puja at the site, followed by lunch. Ashiana Navrang, Halol, Gujarat The eye-catching structure of Ashiana Navrang, Halol The Halol team’s focus on constructing a complex that will elicit a ‘wow’ response is apparent at this stage itself! Five out of the eight building structures of Phase I are complete till the top most roof slab. The final work of the 2BHK flats has also begun. The roof slab of the Club House building is at an advanced stage of construction. The entry road under construction at Ashiana Navrang, Halol The entry road from the Halol-Godhra side to Ashiana Navrang is also fast coming up. In a mood to celebrate this wonderful beginning of Ashiana in Gujarat, the sales team celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with Ganesh Sthapana, a cultural programme and dinner at Aditya Birla Insulators, Halol. It was a great success with the entire staff of Aditya Birla Insulators joining us in the function. The entire team at the construction site is motivated and works diligently to be chosen to hoist the Go Ashiana flag - in keeping with a system started 4 years back, the supervisor with the highest daily achievement of targets hoists the flag. Since future home owners regularly visit the site, our office came up with a thoughtful idea - a play room in the Sales Office to keep kids happily busy while their parents check out their future home! The initiative has won great appreciation from grateful parents. Mr. Dwarka Das Vyas inaugurating the sample flat at Ashiana Dwarka, Jodhpur The inauguration of the sample flat was done by Mr. Dwarka Das Vyas, the father of Mr. Manoj Kumar Vyas, Director of Welhome Developers Pvt.

The Ashiana Jodhpur team also participated in the Industrial Fair 2014 held at Jodhpur in September. We got a great response at the fair with fortythree families showing an interest in our Ashiana Dwarka project. Vishwakarma Puja The huge gathering of our customers at the ‘Know Your Neighbour’ event at Ashiana Dwarka, Jodhpur Curing is the process by which concrete is protected from loss of moisture and kept within a reasonable temperature range. This process results in concrete with increased strength and decreased permeability. Curing is carried out for both internal and external purposes, for seven days, 3 times a day, using a sprinkler so that water is not wasted and it stays on the surface for a longer time. Teachers' Day at Vrinda Gardens Vrinda Gardens celebrated Teachers' Day by having a special function for our customers who are in the teaching profession. It was a way of showing gratitude to our ‘gurus’ who help us progress in life. Vishwakarma Puja was held at all our sites, with the workers enthusiastically taking part in the proceedings. The Puja was followed by a sumptuous meal. About a hundred guests enjoyed the event which had games, activities, dance and music, followed by brunch.

A nice meal for workers followed the Vishwakarma Puja at all construction sites Not-so-Trivial Pursuit What ‘Graha Pravesh’ signifies for us in India, ‘Housewarming’ signifies for people in other parts of the world. Though the word is now associated more with a party to celebrate a new home, traditionally it was the gift that one took along that held a greater significance. Here’s what typical housewarming gifts signify: Ashiana Architect Mr. Atul Kumar performing the Aarti at the Bhoomi Pujan of Ashiana Umang, Jaipur 4 Our guests enjoying the musical evening at the Ashiana Umang site, Jaipur The children’s bedroom in the Ashiana Umang, Jaipur, sample flat Bread so you never go hungry Honey for a sweet life Salt for a flavourful life Broom to sweep away troubles Coin for good fortune Candle so there is always light Fruit for a hospitable home Rooster to keep trespassers away! 5 Comfort Homes : The Ashiana Lifestyle Honouring the Tricolour at Ashiana Manglam, Jaipur Independence Day Celebrations Dandiya Nights during Navratri Water Polo Tournament Health Check-up Camp Our residents came out in large numbers to join in the celebrations organised for Independence Day.

Mrs. Amita Shaw, the MC for the evening, also presented an enjoyable play, ‘How husbands are lazy’. The leaves and stems are used for thatched roofs after the flowering season is over.

I would like to congratulate you and your staff for the professional and creative presentation of the Apna Ashiana Issue No.46 of April June 2014. It certainly captures the heart and imagination of the site! Going the Extra Mile Dilip Mishra is a daily wage earner at the Ashiana Surbhi site at Bhiwadi. While on his way to work one morning, he saw an accident victim groaning and writhing in pain by the roadside, while passersby looked and walked on without stopping to help. Dilip wasted not a moment and took the man to the nearest hospital. He also informed the victim’s family members. The family members and others around were full of praise for Dilip. Regards & Smiling, Col. Daleep Yadav (Retd.) I wish to congratulate you on your pioneering concept of respected senior citizen living. Yours was the first organization to start this concept.
