RACE 2008: RedAlkemi Cultural Event 2008

On the eve of 31^st July 2008 the HR Team organized a Cultural Event for the organization wherein each team gave a fun filled performance infused with lots of enthusiasm and energy. Preeti, Rahul & I hosted the show with our titbits of PJs, interesting one-liners and the works.

The Link Building Team opened the show with a zestful Bhangra followed by a bollywood dance number. It was a fantastic start of a great event. Then came the sensational NumeroUno Team with a satire on the Punjab Police which set the stage on fire as we had everyone rolling in laughter. This was followed by a lovely Punjabi folk song by Nishant Midha also from NumeroUno.

D Company performed next. They put forth three interesting performances, a dance on a medley of the latest Bollywood hits sequenced to narrate a tale, a “jabardast” Bhangra which on public demand had to be repeated and a song by Manoj Kandwal.

Next in line we had PDME team members, with three performances, a dance number, a funny skit and solo performance by Varunjit. The dance number on Pappu can’t dance was loved by all and we had a repeat performance for that as well. Their funny skit also was liked by all and for Varunjit’s performance; all one can say is he is a great comedian.

Additionally, Jagdip from Spiders Team sang a sentimental hindi song in his melodious voice. Then HR & Admin Team presented a musical skit on an old number which was liked too.

Last but not the least we had a spontaneous performance by Chandan from our Technical Team who tickled everybodys funny bone with his non-stop Punjabi Joke!

The entire show was a huge hit with the dazzling performances by all Teams. Words of appreciation and encouragement from our CEO, Mr. Atul Gupta wrapped up the occasion along with some goodies and a dance party which helped us RACE our adrenalin!!

Celebrating Friendship Week with The Maa Sharanam Orphanage

At RedAlkemi we decided to celebrate Friendship Week this year in a special and unique way by contributing in kind to the Maa Sharanam Orphanage. The entire staff participated in the donation drive held for a duration of one week from 28^th July – 1^st Aug ’08. Everybody displayed a high enthusiasm level towards this productive activity and we collected loads of goodies like Stationary, Eatables, Clothes, Books, and much more!

Thereafter the Redalkemi HR Team delivered the collectibles to the Maa Sharanam Orphanage at Mohali Sector 70 where Mrs. Kalpana Ghai an active member of Maa Sharanam informed us about the place being temporary and given by a volunteer till they could collect sufficient funds to arrange for a home for the homeless kids.

The children were thrilled and gazed at us in amazement while we offloaded the stuff from our car. They all gathered in a big hall where we placed the three big donation boxes.

For one of the kids, Neeraj it was a very special occasion being his birthday. So there we were, singing the Birthady Song in chorus for the little one, whose excitement knew no bounds! Pictures were clicked to capture all the fun and excitement on the smiling faces. All the kids were so cute especially the two adorable 4yr olds, Muskaan and Kaajal who completely stole our hearts.

We ended the day with a thanksgiving bhajan from the children…that lingered on in our hearts as we left the orphanage with cherished memories and a sense of fulfillment of having done something really worthwhile.
