Guest child artistes from Don Bosco School who were coached by none other than some in-house talent of Crew Dept. entertained the crowd with their dance performance. It was indeed a show house of all the hidden talent of ESM and SIMS and their family members as melodies and dances were presented by talented kids. The grown ups too did not stop from swaying and gyrating to the popular Hindi film songs to the great enjoyment of the entire crowd.
The highlight of the event was the award giving ceremony. Ms. Suzan and Mr. Arpan were crowned Miss and Mr. ESM 2007 respectively – a title well deserved by both. Mr Biju Baben and his lovely wife were given the Best Couple Award. Another surprise that was in store for Mr. Baben was when he was voted the Most Popular Employee of the year 2007.
