The
football fever was on and I could see everyone in a frenzy discussing one match
over the other. The air of excitement was so palpable while these discussions
were on.
I wanted
to make use of this period for some game or activity which could be related to, by everybody. But I was out of ideas…
As this
point of time, I received a mail from a employee who suggested that we go ahead
with at least prediction game on who's going to win the matches and take the
glory. With this suggestion in mind, the team set out to define a quiz program,
that could span a period of 10 days and be a combination of both predictions as
well as knowledge on the teams that qualified the Round of 16.
The air
now seemed to thicken with excitement each afternoon as people rushed to be the first to answer the
questions. With predictions on one side, questions on another, the actual
matches on the third side and the discussions on the fourth, each day seemed to
revolve around FIFA.
(This
turned out to be a chore for me since I was really unaware of the
nitty-gritties of Football and FIFA and also an eye opener in terms of the
knowledge that I could garner about the countries that qualified for the round
of 16).
As we
were coming to the close of this contest, another bright soul (Joseph) came up
and suggested the idea of having a penalty shoot-out at one of our branches.
Now with limited time on hand, Joseph, I and a few others conceptualized this.
Luckily, and as generally happens, we got the approval and the funds to roll
this out.

So one
day, we sent out a mail, moved a few vehicles and during lunch we had the first
ever Kancor Brazuca Shoot-Outs.
With each
floor being divided into a team, we had two teams competing with one another.
It was a quick fun and exciting exercise that just charged us up and spread
smiles across.

So with
the FIFA coming to a close, we had the questions session done with and a
penalty shoot-out as the icing on the cake. The only thing pending was
distribution of the gifts to the winners of the quiz.

Luckily
for us and to add a cherry to the cake, we had out MD down on the day we wished
to distribute the gifts. We closed the entire event with a quick round of
Football Trivia quiz and ended with the distribution of prizes to the winners.
It was a
fantabulous experience and truly a Kancor Brazuca moment.
It left
me waiting for the next FIFA series, and not because I like Football (I am not
fond of it), but to await the FIFA fun and excitement at Kancor...
