There is something special about the day; the birds chirping in the wee hours of the morning had a musical note. The sun possibly was beaming with golden rays which didn’t have a scorching effect during the day sailing through. The weather these days is behaving strangely! One day its temperature crosses 30 degree Celsius forcing us to wonder what will happen in the summer stretch of May-June while on the day next it is thundering and raining all day dropping the level of mercury remarkably.

Then what is so thrilling about the day? Is it something outside or it has something to do with our emotions? Ohh yes! Today is BENFED’s 59th Foundation day! It’s BENFED’s Birthday! So it’s our birthday as well, right?
