Team Outing 2009 - Coorg again

This was the third time i visited coorg in my life...i m tired of going there and i dont find it really exciting anymore. I had no choice but to adhere to what was selected by my team for 2009 outing.

The fun part was we had a girls nite out and we stayed at our manager's place. She was alone as her husband was travelling. We had wine and nice spicy food. Late in the night we played a game where in we aimed at getting all the secrets out of individuals. Everyone slept and me & my manager kept talking to each other in the nite. At 5 am in the morning we realised that we were getting late and the bus was waiting for us. We all got ready and reached office at around 6. Thankfully we were not the last ones and that's what saved us.

Trip towards coorg was fun as we played dumb charades and best was when we came up with C grade movies for the other team. Poor them, could not fight back as super boss was in this team. I really pity them ;) ultimate fun was when we gave a movie 2 the creative guy (unsensored) and we till date admire the way he enacted. Wish we could have captured it in a video...

After we reached, we had food in the resort and some teams played. me & my manager shared the same room, so we happily slept off and woke up in the evening for tea & bon fire. Evening was plain with we all singing and some boozing there.

Next morning few of us went for a trek while others chose to sleep. I guess that was the best part of my trip. Post lunch we started back for Bangalore. On our way, we played some games. I tried the game which we had played in one of my old outings in 2006 and i guess i forgot few rules. it became a good mess and they all enjoyed happily pulling my leg.

Two things that people remember from the trip are: one Dumb charades done by the creative guy and my complicated rule oriented game's attemp :D

I would say a decent fun it was :)

I like Twitter

I like twitter because of following reasons:

1. its micro blogging and helps me in posting my current state of mind.

2. My identity is hidden

3. I m still connected to few of my close friends

4. helps me vent out my frustration in anonymous way

5. connected to few strangers and their posts give me a new idea/perspective.

6. gives a plateform to also interact with others through tweets

7. Its quick

8. Mozilla has given an addon called twitterfox which updates you on all the tweets recieved in the bottom of the window. It doesnt not require logging in everytime you want to access. Pretty Handy.

Want to go: Seychelles

I have found a new place that i would like to visit, Seychelles.

I have done quite a bit of R&D on net and from couple of friends and all my data says its pretty expensive but still worth visiting. Looking forward to an exotic trip to Seychelles.

See Seychelles

Movie Review: 8*10 Tasveer

Never thought this movie will disappoint in the end! I had hopes, infact high hopes from Akshay kumar's movie. Thankfully i watched it on a DVD!

One time watch.

Swimming

I used to be so scared of water in my childhood. I always wanted to learn swimming but fear of not breathing inside water always made me nervous.

I dared to push myself for a swimming class this yr and fortunately got a good swimming pool and a good coach. Swimming pool's distance from home/office was not less than 5-6 kms and on top of it i did not get the morning batch. We got evening batch of 8-9 p.m weekdays. We thought of trying these timings and they were pretty hectic.

Reaching back home from office at 6 and then managing to cook dinner in 1 hrs time in between was hard initially. After swimming coming back and then finishing dinner and kitchen related work and hitting bed by 12. Had no time for anything else.

But even when i missed many things, i enjoyed my swimming classes. They helped me in diverting from office related pressure and eased to a great extent! Used to feel fresh all the time and more than freshness it was excitement in me. Did 2 months course and i liked it more because coach used to give me 5 extra minutes in the end for teaching a new style. I like the way in which he instilled confidence in me.

have left swimming because of rainy season. But i still feel that it was the best thing which kept me occupied and diverted from lot of stuff. I can see myself getting irritated these days because of weight gain furstration. I seriously want to join the swimming class again!
