OH Freak!!! It’s Friday again!!! This was the mood on that day, the 28th of August 2009- A FriADy. Design team Mustard had the onus of organizing it and they did a great job. They created and maintained an element of surprise all through.
Usually everybody out here has his/her own dream team with which we participate in the various functions and contests that are organized. But the Design team hated Dream Teams. They pulled us out of our dream teams, our safety corners, reshuffled and rejumbled us. There is a saying: “Get the show going” and Team Musturd did it in its literal sense. They named the teams after Express Trains to set us all rolling. They had out of the world names like: Juinagar Express, Kalamboli Express etc
The show started with a Bang! Bang! at around 2:30pm in the post lunch session, with the grand entry of our judges. I must say that Musturd didn’t leave any stone unturned. They had appointed a very jovial and boisterous panel consisting of “Horlicks Piyush”, because of his energy levels and “Colgate Prathamesh”, because of his ever smiling face. The theme was “The Power of Effective Communication”, wherein all the teams were given a particularly crazy product, to the likes of a dustbin or the team leader’s chair, and we had to SELL it to the judges. Performances were judged on various parameters like Punch line, Script, Acting and Group participation, in short how effectively we could communicate the value of the product.
The whole show was a hit right from the word Go!! There was near-full participation with tons of enthusiasm. I say near-full because one of the Express team had to pull out. Actually due to low passenger traffic the train had to be cancelled. But otherwise, everything was perfect. Fun was the main item on Menus of all the Expresses and everybody savored it in excessive quantities. In all, it was a great journey to be had. All the branches had participated in the event and had loads of fun.
And the Winners is-
“EVERYBODY”
but specifically, for Mumbai-
· Best Team: Juinagar Express (Product: Remote)
