Desktop Cricket

No, this isn’t a new type of cricket. It’s the way people watch cricket at work. With the IPL fever well and truly on, it’s hard to keep your mind completely focussed at work. I mean come on, we’re all human and we love cricket.

And of course, Ignitee’s also doing work for the DLF IPL, so it’s an added incentive to watch cricket at work! (No, I’m NOT making excuses. We seriously do stuff for the DLF IPL!)

Now if you want to know how exactly people indulge in desktop cricket, here’s a sample tutorial:

1. Make sure that no one’s looking directly at your computer screen or you.
2. Run your hands furiously over your keyboard, as if you’re actually typing something.
3. Without lifting your head, lift your eyes above your desk and look straight at the TV.
4. Then, when you know that everyone’s looking at the TV, get up as if nothing’s happened, and ask, “WHAT’S THE SCORE?”

PS: This works only at Ignitee at certain select seating positions. The others have to get up and go right into the canteen to watch the game.

Hey, I got to get back to work. Believe me, this is a fun place to be in. Now, you know why.

Visualising an Ignitee-d Mind

The Indian Cricket Team just pulled off an impossible victory—at least that's what the Englishmen think. 387 runs in one and a half days… nah, it'd never been done before!

That's the thing about changing history. Just like Virender Sehwag has a delightful disregard for history, and at Ignitee, so do we. It's all about VISUALISING the situation beforehand. Just think that you've already done it… visualise the winning moment time and again—and voila! Even reputed Olympic champions have used this technique to perform nigh impossible gymnastic stunts. That changes the course of history.

Ignitee too visualises stuff beforehand. Like doing a website in 3 days flat. Getting a campaign live within a few hours. Making award winning websites. It's all the power of visualisation, of what we believe we can do.

Right now, I'm visualising food. It's time to grab a bite. But oh, I always visualise food. Darn! I should've become a chef…
