Join us to give a little bit! – that’s what #Irina Ghose named this Saturday afternoon. Instead of an evening of drinks with colleagues, why not an afternoon with elders?

A few of us colleagues got together to give back, give back time, give back some smiles….. to parents/elders who don’t see their loved ones everyday. Call it a corporate outreach or call it selfishly getting a smile back on our own faces ?. It doesn’t take much! We were humbled to be allowed to spend some time with elders at Ashaktha Poshaka Sabha VVNagar Bangalore. We all served and ate authentic Kannada cuisine of muddai, sambar and Pongal.

When we started on this thought, we had the usual doubts – who do we call, who would come, how does one do this? We had #Nithinramegowda step in and figure all the shoulds and should nots…. Making the day a meaningful one and an immensely happy one.

Always nice to have a drink with colleagues but perhaps ….. just once in that crazy quarter… with the same colleagues…… meet some “moms and dads” over lunch instead?
