The town of Purulia, nestled among the Ayodhya Hills,
Is a place of natural beauty that deeply thrills.
So many spots—falls, dams with names unique:
Deulghata, Marble Lake, and the scenic Marugama Dam are the places we seek.
In spring, Palash flowers adorned the land so bright,
But nature’s fury swept them away from sight.
This short three-day Purulia tour so fine,
Was managed entirely by a women’s line.
Ms Chatterjee and Ms Roy led this dedicated team,
Their care and service were like a dream.
They worked tirelessly, through day and night,
For them, we offer thanks infinite and bright.

Excellent arrangements by the Support Elders team which included Ms R. Chatterjee and Ms T. Roy, who looked after us tirelessly.

May Support Elders continue to take us on many more enjoyable trips with their thoughtful planning and support.

On 7th March 2025, for their Friday Evening Special, Support Elders presented a truly moving session: Real to Reel – Arjun Sen and I Want to Talk. I Want to Talk is a recently released film directed by Shoojit Sircar and starring Abhishek Bachchan. It was inspired by Mr Arjun Sen’s personal story of courage and endurance in his battle with cancer. We learnt that after his life-threatening illness, he ran and completed a marathon. Can you imagine that?

The impact it had on me was profound, and it stayed with me for days. The extent of the challenges he overcame—facing a crisis in a foreign country while caring for his young family—was astonishing. Few could face such adversity and not be broken by it. And the way people around him supported his journey—all of it—mesmerised me.
As the presenter drew out Arjun Sen’s story, I could only marvel at the guest speaker’s strength of character. God bless him in life ahead.

My sincere thanks to Support Elders for inviting Mr Sen and giving us the opportunity to hear his remarkable story. I always wait for our Friday programmes, and I look forward to more engaging talks in the future.
