Picnic 2010

February 22nd, 2010 § 11

Finally the day had come, the day everyone was waiting for since long (almost 2 years). We all were going for a picnic and excitement was there in the air!

The place was Shanku’s Water Park at Mehsana and we were going to have lot of fun. It is still the best water park of the state and weather on the day was truly on our side.

Shanku's Water Park Mehsana

Everyone was supposed to gather at 7 am in the morning at Digicorp house and slowly but steadily everyone was there.

Instead of going into the office we went away from the office with loud cheers and noises in 2 buses. :)

One bus was filled up with the all the unmarried boys and the other one had couples and girls. Well the boys thought they had all the fun but mind well we too had lot of it during the journey.

The best thing about the journey was, its duration. It took us only one and half hour to reach the place and that too went by very fast as we played dumb charades in the bus. (I know girls won’t believe this but boys’ team actually won ;) )

And guess what, we reached early at the place and the breakfast was not ready! Great. Anyways it did not take long and we fed our hungry bellies with Tea/Coffee, Sandwiches and Masala Dosa.

After that we played some team building games. Payal and I had selected these games. Couple of games we also played in our last team building activities held at Digicorp House in 2008.

Description of those games are as follow:

1) Do you know me? (15 to 25 mins)
– make groups of 12 people
- make them tightly coupled with each other
- ask them to introduce themselves and
- A proud moment in your work or personal life,
- Something most people do not know about you,
- Interviewer’s choice of any question.

• What is your favourite season?
• What colour are your eyes?
• What’s your shoe size?
• What type of shoes are your wearing?
• What’s your favourite colour
• What’s your star sign?
• Which leg do you put into your pants first?
• Which eye do you prefer to wink with?
• Which side of the bed (left or right) do you get out of in the morning?

2) Do you know what I mean? (20 mins)
Have a volunteer hold a sheet you have created with different shapes drawn on it. With their back to the group, the volunteer describes the shapes on the paper; everyone else tries to draw the same design based on only the verbal instruction of the volunteer.

How it helps: The group’s pictures will not be exactly the same as the original and some will be really far off. Everyone will be reminded of the importance of communication.

The new ones were:

3) Pictionary

This is a famous board game which is kind of dumb charades but instead of actions you have to explain the word by drawing on a piece of paper. We had to tweak the game little bit for our environment but it was a great fun.

After the games everyone was free to explore the place. Boys played cricket and few of us played memory game. We have to accept that girls have better memory as both the finalists were girls!

After lunch almost every one went in for a dive and enjoyed the water park at fullest. Some were resistant to dive in initially but due to peer pressure they all had to jump in. You see peer pressure works everywhere not only at workplaces!

I guess following photographs shows it all.

But now comes the best part of the day. The “Tad Mad Show”. Slightly altered version of Ad Mad Show we had last time in 2008 and before that in our picnic to Tirupathi Natural Park.

Instead of a commercial, Digicorpians had to make “Trailers” or “Promos” of the movie name given to them.

We managed to came up with some crazy movie names based on real movie names.

1) Tera Pati Sirf Mera Hai (from Mera Pati Sirf Mera Hai! , I know its a pathetic movie and title but its best for such games)

2) Arjun, the Cheetah (from our favorite Indra, the Tiger!)

3) My name is Thakrey (ok you know this one)

4) 3 Junglees (You know this one too…one of the best movies in recent times)

5) Chaa (Any guesses…….!!!!!!!! well from our own Mr Big B’s “Paa”. I know this is hilarious and this was Kuntal’s idea)

6) Bogus Prem ki Bakwaas Kahani (The name says it all! I guess the actual movie name should have been this)

7) Ram Gopal Verma ki Raakh (After RGV ki Aag only Raakh was left of the distributors ;) )

8 ) Bekaar Raaj (from Sarkaar Raaj)

Each team was given one movie and they had to make a “Trailer” of the movie. The minimum time was 2 minutes and maximum time was 4 minutes.

After almost one hour of preparation everyone was ready and most of them came with brilliant ideas and some of the best performances by individuals.

Event started in the evening and it was about to get dark to videos have not come proper but I guess if you listen to them with full volume you should be able to enjoy them.
