While giving presentation everyone was feeling bored and I started creating a atmosphere where we started a game of tongue twister and slowly got into a small joke game and then everyone started sharing their experiences and slowly in between the presentation got completed and later on we all started watching a clip of how to come to office in 2020 wherein the vehicle gets into the purse of a lady after coming to office. The moments of that situation is unforgettable.
