Zest de Montreal...

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 which looked sinking with the snow and cold at one time.

” 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.
