Nothing to do with S7 Software or in general with software but again to do with Cricket. Hopefully this will be the last about Cricket in a few weeks to come :-)
We at S7 Software play cricket regularly every Thursday evening and last thursday evening was no different and I am part of S7 warriors and we had lost last two weeks and we were determined to win this week at any cost. HHM (Har Har Mahadev :-) ) batted first and scored 81 I think in 15 overs and we batted second and we were very close to the victory and I hit the ball to the offside and started off for a very qucik single and god knows where the other person came on to the pitch but I collided headon, lost the ground fell flat on my stomach with my right hand middle finger getting crushed between the bat handle and the ground with all my weight behind it :-( Was not a pretty sight; finger tip turned completely blue and I think that nail is gone and I am off from the cricket for few weeks - very sad; Xray showed two factures; Anyway the match continued and we finally won with a SIX and a TWO in the last two balls of the game :-) Finally S7 warriors won kicking the S7 HHM in their.......
This was almost a replay of what happened a year back where I fell flat trying to steal a single and this time no head on collision but bat broke when I grounded and hit flat onmy head with a HUGE cut on my eyebrow which required 7 staples. Really scary but that is how we play cricket - we play very hard and no wonder we have this as our internal punch line at S7 Software - Play Hard Work Smart!!!! - 200% what we do.
We are not a big company (say like Infosys or TCS or WIPRO or not even as big as Aztech or MindTree :-) ) but on the way for sure and when we become one, I am pretty sure we will have our own cricket ground (and basketball, tennis, gym, shuttle, TT, Squash, Swimming pool, etc.). We strongly believe that a healthy mind is an able mind and we will surely create that atmosphere and than implement it rigourously so that we wont have those fields and equipments for decoration but for the real benefit of our employees. (I heard that one of the Biggies has a beuatiful cricket ground in their mysore campus but wont allow their employees to use it but rather a showcase piece for visiting dignitories and for renting it out for domestic cricket matches, not cent percent sure that this news is true but I have reasons to beleive that it is true).
Anyway one day we will have it too............ but exclusively for us only :-)
