Celebrations...


Atleast I never expected that we’ll have so much fun that day. It was a celebration in the true sense.

It was 7th November, the day we joined i-flex, a year ago. The first anniversary of my first job, not only mine; but for most of us it was their first job, hence it was a special day. Last year, 27 of us joined together as freshers and most of us were strangers to each other. Everyone ready to prove their metal in the organization and raring to climb up the ladder to success. Time passed and we became friends, infact good friends, even though some of the guys moved to the Bangalore office.

We decided to do something special that day. Something which should be different and out-of-box (actually I heard this phrase here only and it is one of the most commonly used jargon used here). This was followed by number of chain mails and also lots of conversations happened. After much discussions and debate, finally we decided to distribute sweets to our teammates, seniors and acquaintances in office. One more thing we decided that we’ll be sending out the same mail and approximately at the same time too. And it all happened according to our plans. Nishant suggested that atleast on this day; all of us who are working in the same office should have lunch together. Later we had photo session.

The day ended in carrying out all these activities and now was the evening time, meant for partying. We, actually 15 of us who are still in Mumbai, went to Bowling Café @ Hiranandani Gardens for bowling. Later we went to PopTates for dinner. The spirits were so high that we fitted ourselves at a table which was meant for only 8 people. Rounds of drink began, followed by dinner. I’m unable to express the emotions, spirit and the amicability which were present there. We missed all our batchmates who are not in Mumbai. We reached home around 1:30 in the night, with all the memories of that last one year. I always heard that people in Mumbai work hard and party harder, and I too realized that is true atleast for all of us today.

It was an awesome evening. I think that everyone of us must have enjoyed more than the other one of us. I’ll definitely remember that beautiful evening and celebrations throughout my life. That was also one of the best evenings that I have ever spent in my life.

On a lighter note, now when the day had already passed, we all became 1+ year of experience professionals and are no longer a fresher
