Living up to
its name “Zest de Montreal” was indeed a joyous afternoon canopied with fun,
joy & togetherness. A series of events well poised and held together to
keep the invitees hooked to their seats.
The ambience
of zest was nicely placed in advance with flashy communiqué promising lots of
fun on the way. A welcome break for many of us, “Zest” rejuvenated the entire
MSAT family living in Montreal
” Sahib” an Indianised
banquet hall witnessed the rise spirit of over hundred jubilant Mahindrites thumping
with music and making the most of it with their wit and humour. Our hearts did
sing as the rock star played his string, a blend of western and Indian tune
made all of us a singer. An outburst of laughter erupted when the local
Canadian Mahindrites were made to sing some popular Hindi numbers, ignorance of
a language can be tremendous fun for the native listeners, and a discovery of a
new tongue for the aliens. It all looked animated and going our way, till an organisational
insight from one of our leaders about the tasks and challenges ahead realised
us of our sheer existence in the city. Touching upon the potential and growth
magnitude of our account with an eye on the importance of teaming and the model
of our work got the discipline back.
It’s good that the basics are kept straight and in place; a promising
leader is one who is always farsighted.
But the fun
had no clutching as the moment was further accelerated by act of the bottle
boys. “Touch down the bottle” became a savoury for those
lurking to quench their thrust; lined up with bottle in their hands it reminded
us of the “Rang De Basmati” boys gulping beer at Nahargarh Fort. Drinking too,
can be parliamentary and a public fun with a pinch of competition. A set of
questions were framed to puzzle the couples in the audience, and the thought of
knowing their better halves was at stake. Satisfied faces and a say cheese
smiles all around; it looked that goodies and prizes on the bet, made many bring
their unnatural self. The test of wisdom was due for the last as the random
quiz puzzled the dancing minds.
.
Indian cuisine
to foodies delight, family fun & live performances to keep up the beat,
“Zest” had it all. To express the joy short, it was an afternoon that garnishes
our soul to stay high till another such event strikes again. A thumb’s up
to one an all who contributed to shape zest as an event to remember.
