The festival of lights – Diwali was celebrated across our India offices on 24th October, 2008 and in keeping with tradition, the workplace was decorated with traditional oil lamps, lanterns and rangoli – patterns made out of coloured sand.
In the Mumbai office, the day started off with teams enthusiastically decorating their corners; there was a prize to be won, after all! Everything from flower garlands to lanterns to festive lights was used and teams spared no effort in their prize winning objective to enliven the festive spirit.
The main draw of the day however was the Fashion Show, which everyone was looking forward to. The PinChicks and PinDudes were seen strutting down the ramp in all their traditional finery, even the bosses and the house-keeping guys got involved, which made the Pinstorm family event all the more exciting.
We have been on quite a recruitment spree since the last month and the new Pinstormers seized the occasion to entertain all who had assembled to dancing, mimicry and some more of the ramp walking. We must say that the current lot of new Pinstormers are quite sporty! All in all, it turned out to be a very happy day for all.
In keeping with this state of happiness, here is wishing all of you a very happy Diwali from all of us here at Pinstorm!
