"All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy"
is a proverb that well suits our current lifestyle. We
@ Software AG, strongly believe that a balanced blend of work and
recreation is the perfect way to keep the mind &
soul refreshed. The Software AG Premier League (SPL) hosted the
Outdoor Event on a Saturday, November
19, 2016. The
event was held at Blue Lagoon, a resort located in the outskirts of the
city.
The SPL
exhibits 4 teams - Matadorz, Torpedos,
Snipers and Zionz. A series of games that included Cricket, Volleyball,
Throw-ball, and Swimming were scheduled and the competing teams were declared
for the day.
CRICKET,
the most popular sport in India, is one of the most exciting outdoor games that
is enjoyed by everyone in Software AG. The 12-over match was a pulsating
encounter right from the start and ended with a nail-biting victory.
We had
a wonderful team lunch followed by a relaxation to gear up for the second half of the day.
Next
was the VOLLEYBALL. The players had a small warm-up session. Every single
match, be it the qualifiers or the finals, were so close. Though winning was
the goal, every single player enjoyed the game and their passion for the game
was significantly evident.
The
energy drained during the truly competing match was regained with a short evening break accompanied by coffee & snacks.
The
last and final game of the day was SWIMMING. Getting into the waters after a
long and tiring day was a blissful experience. Yet, it was not the time for the
contestants to relax. Everyone gathered along the pool side to encourage the
swimmers. With people calling out the names of their respective team members,
the entire pool was full of energy and
enthusiasm.
