With the fervour of Friendship Day lurking, the celebration bells started ringing on Saturday itself. In the midst of busy shopping hours, the evening came to a halt with a group of 30 employees from Kenexa pirouetting in quick succession to the beat of movie songs. The flash mob lasted for ten minutes at CMR Shopping Mall which echoed tunes from Desi Boys, Cocktail, Delhi Belly, Gabbar Singh and Ishq. The idea behind flash mob is to promote friendship, said market research analyst of Kenexa Vikash Babjee.
