I had been not keeping well, but nevertheless, in my heart, had the desire of placing some more photos, for everyone to rejoice. My many thanks goes to children who contributed, and helped me to my request for my blogs are, Amrit Pal Singh, Rekha Dev, Bera Shibu, Chayya (Mishra) Jha, Ruchita Prasad & pain staking efforts taken by Deepak Manna who tried to take photos on my behalf against the list I sent him, he described me in his words, that some of the photos he is unable to take due to real deterioration of the camp and his eyes get filled with water. These are the words, as expressed by our children who grew up here, and how much Mosaboni meant to them.
I still need few more photos of Mines Club, Recreation Club, Hindu Temples, Sikh Gurdwara, Church etc, to make our memorable journey live to all who still have a lot of love, passion to know about this place, so dear to my heart and equally believe its same for you all. I have called many of our friends over the past few months, with whom we got connected, when we first saw group for Mosaboni started by Neetika Mittal on face book.

Recently, in Feb' 2011, our colleague visited Auckland, namely Mrs .and Mr. R Y Kutumbe and we enjoyed few get together s with picnic lunch at one of our picnic spot Mission Bay, a clean beach with lot of greens for children to play. There photos are attached below, who may remember them. It was a pleasant surprise, when one night our phone bell rang,(he came here to visit his elder sister who had invited them) and we enjoyed and remembered Mosaboni days. Incidentally he had been our close friend and my boss also.
