Replug


As I relentlessly hammered in my last post that I was in the organising team of the Annual Get-together of my firm and I did nothing, this post is all about the work I did for that. These posters and the write up at the end for some magazine I have no idea about.


The design was not by me, only the words were.


This was entirely done by me.

This was also done by me


The name was suggested by a colleague.


The background was contributed by a colleague, the rest by me. Though the original lines went something like these
We still snarl ‘kutte’ to our friends at times,
That hot girl is still ‘Chamiya’ for us,
People with “Thakur” as surnames are still asked for their hands at times.
And still more jokes are made on Sholay that on our politicians.”

And then followed all that is written on the poster. But it all was edited out.




And the write up is
The evening began with poise and ended with exuberance. In an nutshell, that was the ambience, tone and the general spirit at the annual family night “Spandan’ we had on 26th of November.
 From buffets to drinks, from dancing troupes to employee dance performances, from casino to karaoke, from lucky draw to fashion shows ,  from musical shows to couple games and from kid games to childhood picture games, we tried to incorporate all. The fact that there was fantastic enthusiasm and participation shown from the employees and their families obviously spiced it all up.
  There was a mesmerizing semi classical Indian dance performance by the daughter of one our colleague while another of our colleague chose to partner his son on “Tabla” an Indian percussion instrument to result in an utterly mellifluous ballad. A tiny tot’s dance performance completely belied her age and some of our colleagues who tried to copy her steps are still recovering from cramps!! While a senior colleague chose to remind us of his splendid skills with harmonica, the innovative couple games involved such twists and turns that the participating couples were left exercising those muscles and bones of their bodies they never knew existed.
 A family event that it was, it never could have been complete without the involvement of the newest addition to our CH2M HILL family- The Halcrow Group. Several Halcrow employees were also present and delighted us all with their active participation. One of them actually won First Prize in the Fashion Show event. Well Done Sir.
 A memorable night was rendered truly momentous with the verve of participation from one and all. It really was a night to dance, jive and feel alive.

Any creative media agency reading this post and liking it ? Anyone??
