Bay Decoration at CTS

The mail with subject Let's Paint Cognizant in our TriColor!!! popped up...and our team started the planning...It was a mail from HR, announcing the bay decoration and team dress code competition...as 15th August itself was holiday the competition was on 14th August....

As per our plan...we reached our desks wearing Green...initially we had not any plan for bay decoration...but after experiencing enthusiasm among various project teams...some sort of energy and spirit ran through our bodies...

We divided our team and divided the work...One group went out to bring decorative articles...one group was alloted Googling...

After having all the things in place...we started the work...I took the printouts of images and data gathered by Googlers...Ami, Asavari and other girls prepared wall papers with nice sketches...Pankaj, Vaibhav, Prasanna and Rahul decorated our bay with ballons...ribbons...Tricolors...and paper wind mills...also wall papers prepared by girls had also been pasted on the walls of cubicles...

Each of the wallpaper was singing about Growth...Achievements...Accomplishments...National heroes...that we have gained after Independence...

Icing on a cake were tricolored broaches having 3M logo at the center prepared by us...

So all set...Judges on their way...visiting each team...observing minutely...

After 2 days...that is on 16th...results were out by mail...

Congratulations to all our Participants..!!!
Amazing Enthusiasm and Team Spirit...!!!!!
The Winning Team in ICC for the Bay decoration is 3M People Soft and for the dress code is BRINKER (Both 8th Floor)

Trip to Narayanpur...

I was counting down my last days at Pune...because I had resigned my lucrative job of software engineer...and headed towards my personal goal of doing something of my own...

I don't remember the exact date...it must be a weekend...we had planned a trip to Lonawla and Khandala...don't bother about the heading of this post...we had just planned about Lonawla-Khandala...my We includes...Myself...Hrishikesh...Sagar and Abhishek...I don't remember the reason behind Santosh's absence...

As per our preplanned modus-operandi...Hrishi gave us wake up call early morning at 5...but he also informed us about heavy raining at his place...Hrishi used reside at his maternal uncle's house at ...our plan was totally in mess...

After all those were my last days at Pune...finally we decided to visit Narayanpur post lunch...we Four left around 3 on 2 bikes...

Narayanpur is 45 kms from Pune, off Pune-Satara road...we took newly built 4-lane Super highway...we had digicam with us so kept capturing roadside lush green nature.....


Its me clad in raincoat...you can see lush green hillocks and tunnail gate at tha back...

We reached Narayanpur...here Venkateshwara Hatcheries (VH Group) has built a beautiful replica of Tirupati Balaji Temple...We took Darshana of Lord Venkateshwara Balaji...and enjoyed Prashad of mouth watering pure ghee Laddus...


Laughter is the Best Medicine!!!

You must be wondering what we guys are doing? Actually...there was a group of 30-35 middle aged people...they gathered to have a snap...photographer seemed to be very jolly...he held camera with one hand...raised his other hand in air...and said...Hasaa (Laugh)...once he said Hasa...the whole group did HaHaHa...basically we were mimicking them...not to make fun out of them...but to treasure it as a sweet memory....

Some of the snaps that we had taken on our return journey....
