Samina Usmani Siraj (above) is a student of
Arts at the Cummoo Jaffer School and Junior College. What makes her stand apart
is that she was invited to Delhi by none other than Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh and felicitated for her mimicry of the PM. We are happy to have her as a
volunteer for activities connected with Times Group and WMPP.
The Times Group, along with Women's Movement for Peace and Prosperity and
Anjuman Islam inaugurated a Women's Centre at Anjuman Islam Complex in
Mumbai on Tuesday, September 27, 2005 (3 p.m. to 5.00 pm), at Anjuman
Islam Complex, near TOI Building.
 

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news
is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can
accomplish! And what your potential is!
