Chocolates day, New office work

We celebrated chocolates day in Magnet today. It was quite a blast. When HR emailed people about it on Tuesday, waves started. Here's what Sarita said:

Hello Everyone,

Let's celebrate Chocolate Day this Friday 25th August 2006,

Kitkat for "Friends" Dairy Milk for "Best Friend" Eclairs for "Colleagues"

There was a whole email trail after this debating about what should we do for lovers, crush and enemies! Finally, she had to send an update:

Hello Everyone,

On High demand, we have some additions,

Crush: Lolypop Enemy: Hajmola Love: Five Star Kitkat for "Friends" Dairy Milk for "Best Friend" Eclairs for "Colleagues" For Brothers & Sisters: We have just celebrated Rakhi Day.

And we had a blast today! Chocolates were flowing in the office the whole day. Generally, Magneteers love chocolates. If you get a chocolate in office, it's an unwritten rule that you share it with others. Today, people said no when they were offered additional chocolates ;-)

While we were celebrating the chocolates day, the new recruits are celebrating holidays. We couldn't complete the new office interior work on time, and had to give them a break for this week since there are too many activities going on there. We got the wall poster up there, and Ashok took a few pictures when he visited new office yesterday. These photos explain why the office work is going so slowly!

(If you don't understand the pictures, you should take a look at the wall poster first!)

We are doing a soft launch of the new office this Sunday, and the main inauguration will happen in a few days after everything is settled.

It's quite exciting these days ;-)
