Suddenly it dawns on you when a calendar invites springs up ... Jeff's birthday 28th June . The Mindfield Cake Smashing ritual will be followed with absolute passion, gay abandon and scant regard for the carpeting below ! But who cares about a few stains on the carpet ...cake smashing is too much fun ! We as a team have it down to a fine art now .
This would be Jeff's tenth birthday with us and I would love to share the journey with him so far and also thank him for being such a big part of the mindfield journey .
So Jeff ..Keeper of the flame ..here goes
Together in our journey of Rainmaker and Keeper of the Flame we have seen many a crest and a trough.While the ideas , plans and strategy can fly thick and fast you need someone who will ensure that things come to life !! the devil lies in the detail of execution and Jeff made it possible for us to see ideas come to fruition and all the while holding down my desk and the multitude of coordination's it throws up across a wide geography.
He and I have walked ,run, seen the ups and downs , the good results the not so good results but at times when I was low Jeff I have to let you know your faith that I could do it kept me going ! Thank you for being a part of my life , a part of mindfield ..your willingness to help the team and go above and beyond the call of duty.....has made many a stretch target possible.
Soft spoken , ever willing to help what many of you would not know that he can be a fire spewing dragon if you should cross the line of mindfield way of life..and also does a show stopping moonwalk when in the groove!
On behalf of the Team Mindfield I wish you a very Happy Birthday and a BIG Thank you from all of us.........and now onto a very serious task of identifying the right cake ..Jeff what flavor would your face prefer this year !

8 年Wow, I must admit, I really don’t miss that cake smashing event. Unfortunately my technique of sticking cream up peoples nostrils and ear’s just got the better off me while I was around Mindfield. Daniel had mastered my art and passed the baton across to Anjali. Then there was Dax, who was the pioneer of using the garbage bag around him to save his flashy shirt and tie from getting stained. Thinking back about the good times, in a way, yeah I do miss that annual event. Not to forget the awesome gifts that usually consist of ties, oversized T-Shirts or shirts, bed room lamp shades and the best was a dozen packets of tiger biscuits given to Mr.Jamal :-). On that note, belated birthday wishes to you Jeff, it’s been a decade and here’s wishing you another decade ahead. Your relationship has only fostered a family within the MFR team. Kudus to you and wish you best success for the future. It was pleasure working with you in the past.
