R D Team Celebrates Blooms Day

The HRD at TAFE R&D Department organized Blooms Day, Season 2, at Hotel Deccan Plaza, on Saturday, the 23rd of June.

Blooms day is a fun filled event where employees’ children can make friends, display their talent and participate in various games. It is an occasion which builds bonds between employees’ families and also develops within them a sense of belongingness towards TAFE.

Season 1 of Blooms Day was held last year within the office premises, so this time the organizers made sure that they picked a comfortable venue for employees and participants to break the ice, and also provided a sumptuous lunch spread.

Also this time around, they incorporated games for different age groups, ie: 0-5, 5-10, 10 and above. These included fruit eating, drawing competition, pyramid, human ladder and many more. This was followed by a prize distribution ceremony where participants were rewarded with certificates and prizes for their various competitions.

Chief HRO Muthukumar Thanu, Principal Member, R & D Protoshop R. Murali, VP R&D S. Sriraman and EVP R&D Cmde. R B Verma were among the noted few present at the event. Ramesh, a Kirigami artist, was also featured at the event, and he shared some of his skills with the children there and his artwork was also on display.

Overall, the event was enjoyed thoroughly by everyone present there, and indeed provided an opportunity for the kids to bloom and showcase their talent.

TAFE Cafe had a lot of fun being part of this day!

TAFE Young Achiever – Siddharth The Cube Master

TAFE CAFE features yet another young achiever, 11 year old Siddharth Sriraman from SBOA School & Junior College, for his talent to speed-solve the Rubik’s cube. Siddharth is the son of our VP – TAFE R&D, S. Sriraman.

Siddharth’s interest developed when he once chanced upon a Rubik’s cube in his toy box. Out of curiosity, he browsed the net and watched many videos on how to solve the cube, and learnt many methods and algorithms this way.

He can now solve various cubes of different dimensions such as 2 × 2, 3 × 3, 4 × 4 and 5 × 5. His personal best as of now is solving the 3×3 is 29 seconds.

But wait, Siddharth does not stop here. He can also solve Rubik’s Cube blindfolded!

Apart from his skill with the cube, Siddharth is also a budding table tennis player with quite a few awards under his belt, and his other interests range from books to race cars.

We wish him good luck for his future and hope his talent takes him places!
