Outsmart’s Ok-Tata-Good-Bye-Farewell for Mala

July 19th, 2010 by admin

So it was finally time to say goodbye to our dear Mala who has been at the helm of our accounting section for many years now. Mala is known for being the driving force of our accounting team and many were in tears during her farewell.

Ok… Many I’m not sure, but atleast Keerthi seems to be in tears! Okay, wait, come to think of it…..she’s smiling!

Well that’s exactly how things are at Outsmart- we’re not scared to part with the people we love, because we enjoy every minute it takes to work alongside them!

Mala started off by giving us all a sleepy speech about what the POA for the day was. Don’t believe me?

Mala giving us her sleepy speech- she fell asleep while giving it!

Although it looks like Shoan managed to stay awake and do a quick pose by the side.

Zia and her mid sleepy-speech jokes. Hmmppph.

(Notice how she is laughing for what is probably her own joke, alone. Designers, gah.)

But why is Sethu paying so much attention? Seems to be absorbing every word of Mala’s sleepy speech

So the sleepy speech finally ended and as you can see, everyone’s happy including Mala

Zia is STILL thinking of the joke and smiling!

Looks like this jokes catching on, everybody’s laughing!

Sethu is loving the jokes

“Keerthi, how can Mala alone give a Sleepy speech? We MUST counter attack at once!”

Sleepy Speech 2 in progress

Hey, that looks like a fun speech. Nice

So FINALLY, we decided to wrap up the speech-fights, and get to the best parts. Cards and gifts!

Don't worry Sandhya, you will get a card when the time is right too!

I bet Mala’s thinking “Okay, I have acted like I read this stuff for 2 minutes now, can I look up and get to the gifts?”

Zia finally uses her mind reading abilities and jumps forward with the gift.

Zia handing over the gift. But what is it?

The extremely politician style felicitation photograph we are all dying to see

“Okay, wait, the wrapping paper is a bit expensive. Let us do the opening for you.”

Mala: “Haha, for a second I thought you guys got me a carom board”

(Notice how the wrapping paper has been slickly removed and confiscated for recycling. Green companies are MEAN companies ! )

hey where the hell was Dariela all this while??

After a lot of posing and dragged feet, there was a lot of this:

Then once we realized all the gift unwrapping had been done, and the tears had been shed, everybody was shooed back to work

I guess it’s apt to say all’s well that ends well

Tomorrow is another hullabulloo-of-a-work-day at Outsmart360, come back for a visit.

(You too Mala!)
