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.

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.
