Oye, it’s Friday!

Friday afternoon, the Drizzlin / Webchutney offices

Now, Fridays are generally relaxed affairs at the workplace - most client pitches would already have been made and sent in the preceding days; routine work would have long slipped into auto-mode, and all creative brainstorming would be postponed to a Monday – when we arrive ‘recharged’ from a nice weekend break.

But a host of factors set the stage for further fun yesterday, prime among them being the fact that the boss is out on a business trip to Singapore, blissfully unaware of the mischief that his team was upto in his absence.

 

Scene 1: The lunchroom. See how a meal of burgers from McDonald’s is, in an impromptu act of improvisation, turned into a fun game of err, basketball.

And just in case you were wondering, those were ketchup sachets that were being flipped into the ‘basket’

 

Scene 2: 4 in the evening. The girls – Anagha, Rianna and The Intern (also known as Shivani Mathur) declare war against the boys – Robin, Sumeet and Sabir. Watch as the girly gang fight a nasty war with the boys, whose troops are ably led by Captain Chidiya (Robin).

A well-fought war, I must say, and I would know – as sole record-keeper of this terrible battle, I was right there in the war zone, capturing it all for posterity. Thank you, thank you. *humbled by the adulation*

And just in case you were wondering what they were upto: this was a spit-ball fight using rubber-bands as sling-shots. And as the battle heated up, troops resorted to launching’grenade-like’ paper-bombs instead. Creative all the way, I tell you!

A note on casualties: As expected, it was the Intern who bore the brunt of war-time casualties. The highlight of the fight was undoubtedly the time when someone aimed a ketchup sachet at her, and it missed her mouth by a few cms. That scene led to quite a few guffaws and a temporary cease-fire – when it comes to bullying the Intern, we are all wonderfully united.
