This year
Valentine's Day was like no other!!!
On the one hand, it
was my first Valentine's day after marriage and as such the day was special
enough with both of us trying to do little things and trying not to go
overboard…
Me and my Roses... :) |
On the other hand,
it was my first "Official" Valentines Day Celebration.
At Kancor, this
year, we celebrated Valentine's Day in a small manner. I am unsure if in India
generally such celebrations are seen. But it was a good experience with a lot
of feel good and smiles across everyone's faces.
The anticipation was
sparked off a day earlier with a mailer that talked about Valentine's Day
providing the opportunity to celebrate and express appreciation in the
workplace. This with a joinder to celebrate the day with a splash of "Red,
Pink and White" ensured that the day was in hues of these shades.
We had heart shaped
balloons and bowls filled with heart shaped candy to welcome as soon as one
stepped inside the office. The day started of with something sweet as people
moved to and fro and picked up candy from the bowl.
To accompany this,
we went around giving each employee a red rose and wishing them on Valentine's
Day. It was a pleasure to see the smiles on everyone's faces as they received
these flowers.

To top up this good
feeling was a gift from a few guests. We had a few auditors down at our office
and as they saw the smiles and the good cheer, they went out of their way to
contribute to the candy bowl with packets and packets of Gems.
Colourful Gems!!! |
It was a sweet day
with flowers and candy and smiles on many faces. Waiting to see how the next
Valentine's day pans out!!!
