Oodles of fun @ IBM - Part 2

We had a cubicle decoration competition at office yesterday, and that was great too. It was at 11'o clock that we decided to participate and by 11:30, we decided upon the theme - Indian festivals - one festival each in 4 corners. And now came the challenging question: which festivals and how to portray? Prasanna came up with a notepad, and we all sat together and an animated discussion followed. Christmas, for sure was opted since the spirit of X'mas was all around us. And we the Mallus just could not do without Onam. Pongal - said a few and Ramzan - shouted someone. But none of us actually knew what people do for Ramzan except for the biriyani part of it, so we settled upon Diwali. So XMas, Onam, Pongal and Diwali were finalized. And off we went to get stuff. The rest is best explained with pictures.

Pongal-o-Pongal: Note the papercup sugarcanes, cow and the pot with foaming milk



Pookalam depicting Onam



Paper boats (thithithara thithithay music in background)and Mahabali enjoying the show



Diwali - couldn't take a snap with the sweets, You see, people here all have a sweet tooth!!!



Christmas in the air



Santa and his sleigh



And guess the outcome. We won third prize - few packs of temptations and Kitkat family pack - for the CTP family :)
