Every 5th of June is a day used by the United

Nations to stimulate worldwide awareness of

environmental issues. All over the world this

day is celebrated. At Ipca, the day was remarkably

observed and followed by every employee, at

manufacturing location.

Conserving our environment has become heart-

touching issue for humans. Animals convey this

message in a different manner and we can do

better by taking this initiative forward seriously.

All locations played a key role of conveying the

message through slogan, poster competition and

addressing to the team by conveying importance

of the day. Planting sapling is not the only activity

we need to undertake, we have to nurture them

and see them grow.

A Father's Advice to His Son...

A boy is about to go on his first date, and he's nervous about

what to talk about. He asks his father for advice.

The father replies: "My son, there are three subjects that always

work. These are food, family, and philosophy."

The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice

cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long

time, as the boy's nervousness builds.

He remembers his father's advice, and chooses the first topic.

He asks the girl: "Do you like spinach?"

She says "No," and the silence returns.

After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his

father's suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He

asks, "Do you have a brother?"

Again, the girl says "No" and there is silence once again.

The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his father's advice

and asks the girl the following question: "If you had a brother,

would he like spinach?"

Smile a while...

The class has 14 children. The first child shakes hands with the other 13 children.

The second child has already shaken hands with the first child, and so has to shake

hands with only the other 12 children. In this manner, the second-last child has to

shake hands with only one child, and the last child has already met all the children.

Thus, the number of handshakes is

13 + 12 + ........ + 2 + 1 = 91. If there were 14 children in the class, then there

were 91 total handshakes.
