Friends and family gathered for the 80th
birthday bash of VN Misra aka Nandan, that was celebrated recently. Daughters Rati, Shikha and Vasudha came especially for the occasion and planned a big bash for their father. The venue was done up in beautiful white flowers and small diyas were lit everywhere. A live music performance added to the ambience.

Nandan’s former colleagues, friends, schoolmates all joined in the fun along with wife Latika.
Songs were sung, people danced and Misra senior cut a huge cake while the guests sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him. The party continued till late at night with everyone having a good time.
