“Life is a wretched gray on Saturday, but it has to be lived through.” Says the Internet Quotes about Saturday Life. This Wretched Life swapped to an Enjoyable day on March 27th 2010. Alarm Clock Beeped in most of WMSCPP team member’s home. Some snoozed it, some woke up to get ready for the team trip. I took over the job of Naidu that day, checking out the Names who need to be board in Route 1. One by One got in to the Cab, Smell of Enjoyment overflowed throughout the travel. Cab turned towards HSR to pick the Alak Nanda, Unfortunely she is awarded as the late comer of the trip. 45 minutes passed by, no sign of reaching the Destination. At last as Shakespeare said “Two roads diverged in a wood “. The road we went also diverged, we took the route which resembles the old age routes. Full of Stones and humps all over the routes. Through Out the way n number of hoarding displayed “Rediscover your life” and so on. After few minutes of travel reached the Place named Guhantara. Our team organizer marched towards the reception to check our reservation. God’s grace there is no reception girl in front, only a Notebook appeared. Organizer signed it over and showed the path to follow. In Front of the reception the faces of our ancestors are decorated in Wood structure which looked beautiful.
“Jumbarey Jumbarey” Echoed all over the cave path we followed. Architecture is nicely done like WMSCPP ProductJ... People Pulled out the camera from their bags and started flashing. As soon as we entered the main area, arena is filled with beautiful hybrid roses all over. Human eye is now eagle eye.
“Please feed us otherwise you will not enjoy the beauty” Stomach Blackmailed us.
Got the Tiffin coupons and stood in a long queue to collect the food. Followed a path downstairs to have breakfast. One side, people took the Wood – Rope collaborated seats and had a normal conversation. The Other side with beer – no beer guys.
“Chalo... Chalo... Let’s Play Cricket” Kalyan roared towards us. Who will not get afraid when a lion is roaring towards you? J.We started walking towards the ground. Our Bad luck cricket ground is occupied by some other team.
“Why can’t we play Sand Volley ball “One of team member said. Why not!!!
Some removed the shoes without knowing the Sand hotness and jumped in to Sand, Eyes Smooched goggles to compete the sun shine. Some remained as spectators as usual.
Team motto is to win the game not to follow the rules. Cheer girls joined us in the game. Fun started between the teams. Don’t what wrong did the volley ball done in his past generation! Except the court, Volley Ball roaming all the places. Sometimes it hit the people who are passing by. Sometimes it stayed at the top of the hut. In any case one team should win the Match. The team who won celebrated their winning, the other team congratulated the winners. (Sportiveness)…
Eyes googled for the swimming pool. After continuous search, we reached the swimming pool. Never seen such as a small swimming pool in my life. Had a light shower and jumped in to the swimming pool. Heat eroded from the body and felt like a heaven. Again started throw ball game in the water. Who scores the maximum point? By hitting the virtual goal post is the winner.
We played till our mind says “Stupid guys get out of the water “there are plenty of games which are joyful.
Respected our mind, broke the relation with water and went to play Indoor games. Walked slowly with Alak like a tortoise J.As soon we reached the game area. So many smiling faces all over and some serious faces. Let me tell you how the indoor game area is designed
First Division – Snookers – Ravi and Krishna playing seriously
Second Division – Table tennis – Saurabh and Sudeep (Rocking spinners).. Sudeep as usual saying the word yaarrrr...
Third Division –Carom and Chess (Pooja, Anita, Priya, Ravee- QA with DBA tournament).
I stood there for sometime, where to pitch in and show my talents. After sometime Pooja (Budding TT player) came out of Carom tournament, I joined with Sudeep for TT and Pooja with Saurabh. Game gone for one hour nonstop. Time Ticked 1.30 PM. People felt the hungriness. Dispersed from game area and returned back to arena.
Again the same Process. Collected the coupon, Stood in a long queue for food. Suddenly someone from other side Said
“Shan come here, Unlimited non-veg this side”... Wow… Thanked Kalyan for choosing this place for team trip J and jumped as fast as rabbit to the other side (No tortoise nowJ). In the middle of my non-veg hunting, Heard a Humming bird voice. No word to describe the voice. Awesome, Classic, Sexy … Not only the voice is …. She too looked Pretty, Gorgeous, Cute, Heart killing beauty…… Took the Nikon D5000... Without taking the finger from camera captured continuous shots of the humming bird.
For the Second time thanked Kalyan “You made my trip ………………………..” 15 minutes passed by... Suddenly Heard Singer Hariharan voice, Pepped in to see who is that guy?
Its Sai.. Ultimate Rocking Voice … Again D5000 but not continuous shots this time. Only 5 to 10 Pictures… Time went onnnnn like an ocean without waves….Rocking Hindi, English songs kissed the speakers on the side. Water started drizzling in the middle of arena thorough a pipe. My legs started to dance without standing up. Not able to control… Jumped in and shown my talents…Two girls (Britney spears, Madonna) jumped in after watching my talent J… Dance floor filled with dancers all over…With me Sara (Susan Daughter) danced for a while and then went.
3 PM now. Shilpa and Anita called us “Hey Dancers Lets move and have some team activities”... Only few hours left... With wet pants and shirts we moved to the same Sand Volley ball place. Shilpa, Anita, Priya organized the team Activities… Since Alak cannot move and play due to the leg fracture we hired her as a third umpire for most of the gamesJ. Enjoyment and Fun overflowed again. Too many games with in a short span of time. People walking through the sideways watched us and thought in their hearts.
“These People are enjoying their life to the extreme and we too need to live like them”. What else is needed “The trip earned the value of it”.
Sun Shine dimmed, Moon smiled in the Sky “I am back to my job and going to enjoy the Day like WMSCPP”. The team who won the maximum points in the game got special gift and Trip Participation gift for dancers, Singers and legends.
“Guys wait a minute. Forgot to tell one truth here. “You people would have thought, I am good dancer”... I am not...Susan Son is the real hero (Forgot the nameJ)... What a dance steps, I am not able to compete him... So Best dancer award goes to him. “
6.30 PM now. Sun almost left India. One game left “Its cricket”. Separated the teams with in few seconds. Rule is no Dhoni, Raina shots only dravid shots. Utilized the time with team work, Played for 30 minutes and ended the game.
Tring ,Tring alarm clock beeped the next day.. Now one woke up this time... Only snooze… J
Hi,
ReplyDeleteShan gud 1 to start with, wish to see more such blogs.
Sure da...
ReplyDeletewaW... real good narration... very good start... Could have added more photos... BTW, I was disappointed as no body captured video while I was singing :-(.
ReplyDeleteSai .. i would have done that, but picture showed your emotions perfectly....
ReplyDeleteNice one...Lot of Improvement from u these days!!!!
ReplyDeletesens... you have written about standing in the queue with tones of emotions.did they gave food to you or not. even though i didn't know any one in your team but you have explained every one activities very well, it was looked like a reading novels. your screen play is very good?????
ReplyDeleteGood blog to start with. Some suggestions.
ReplyDelete1. After completion, pay attention to punctuation, usage of capital letters etc.. I could see the letter "J" in most of the places.
2. Spell check.
3. Know your audience. The blog will remind the memorable trip for your team-mates, but kind of not-so interesting for others. If this is for a specific audience tell that upfront.
4. Review... Review... Review... Writers say that after each review, your content will be reduced by 10%. I felt its too big. During review, I remove all the paragraphs and sentences which are NOT interesting (unless its specific and must be there)
5. Try writing fiction. That will improve your writing style and your imagination as well.
Good to see Shan as a writer. If you get a booker's prize, you owe me a treat :)
Love,
Prem
