Welcoming Durban playing Tutari |
On our arrival at the fort, situated
in the midst of an array of hillocks, greenery and perfect solitude, we were
greeted in the most regal manner, with the long drawn calls of Tutari and Raj
tilaks, into our comfortable rooms. And then began the non-stop session of
games such as Human Appliance, Balloon man, blindfolded puzzle between six
teams, with each consisting of members from the three departments. Yes, the
names sound crazy but the competition was even crazier in the face of terrific
participation.
The games were followed by some members taking a guided tour of the fort and museum to soak in the history and grandeur of the place, while some sought refuge in the cold waters of swimming pool, playing water games like polo. And then we had the prize distribution ceremony in some really ‘innovative’ categories like ‘Itna sannata kyun hai?’, ‘Gyaan ka saagar’ and such.

Then came the most awaited event of all: the partying in the company of booze and DJ. And as we danced well past the midnight hour, the floor was well and truly burnt.
The next morning started with a brainstorming
session where we discussed, in small groups, about means to improve the
collaboration between the teams and rounded up many a notable issue where we
could improve upon as a team.
Then there was the auction of 6 paintings done by two of our members, which raised a total of Rs. 3 lakhs for the NGOs Vidya and FMCH. Finally, on this noble note we bid adieu, albeit with great reluctance, to the two days of extreme fun and frolic to return back.
All in all, the roaring success of the event once again proved that such an occasion provides the perfect opportunity to not only unwind and go berserk, but also to interact and befriend the colleagues from other teams. So, may the legacy of team building 2013 be carried forward in all manners!
