Creativity And Teamwork ..!!

I have been feeling guilty for not updating this space since a long time. Works and other engagements always kept me busy. Life had become monotonous and nothing new was happening. I was waiting desperately for 29th of October so that I could go to Odisha. But then something exciting cropped up... Ness started its preparations for its Family Day and before that, lots of events were to be held on Sports theme. I am never an enthusiast as far as sports are concerned... but there was something among those events, I believe, was meant for people like me... the Floor Decoration Contest! I really like this event as it involves high level of creativity and teamwork and for us, this was nothing less than a challenge as we had to keep the same 1st position intact, which we achieved last year!

We settled for showing up a "Tour de France" show as our theme was sports. Tour de France is an annual bicycle race held in France and nearby countries. This covers some 3600 kilometers and lasts three weeks. The race is broken into day-long segments, called stages. Individual times to finish each stage are aggregated to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The rider with the lowest aggregate time at the end of each day wears a yellow jersey. Keeping this in mind, we started decorating our floor. All of us were dressed in yellow. Cycles were brought. Yellow and brown sheets were joined together, molded and folded to form the shapes of mountains. Small grasses were pasted on papers to form a small model of the roadside lawns. Thermocols were cut and shaped to form trees. Black colored semi-plastic rolls were spread out and white tape was moved above to give the look of a track. Cyclists were dressed in proper costumes, with helmets, glasses, elbow guards, etc. Gifts and prizes were bought and a stage was prepared to applause the winners. The whole scenario displayed a small model of the grand Tour de France. It involved heavy efforts, creativity and much organized and coordinated teamwork. It is a good learning experience when you work with not only friends but also a bunch of seniors and juniors. Sometimes their zeal and energy can work as spirit lifters! We worked for the show very sincerely and delivered our best efforts. When the result was declared, we were on cloud nine again!!! We did it :)

Congratulations to the team of Quintiles for putting up a grand show and making the venture a success!!

Dreams visit us every night but commitment wakes us up each day giving us every chance to make our dreams come true..!!
