One day picnic at woodrich resorts

Hi all,

This was planned by the unit that I am working for, in my office. I was one of the organizers. We had a couple of meeting to discuss on various things like, games, gifts and the arrangement for the whole picnic.

The day 9/06/2007 we all assembled at our office premises, as expected a couple of people did not turn up. We started at 8:30 from office, I started taking the attendance and that was fun, like a teacher taking attendance, there were three shuttles, and the last one was occupied by the GOG (gang of girls) and couple of others including me. We traveled for around 1 hr to reach the place, the travel was not fun at all. Anyways we reached woodrich around 9:30 AM and as soon as we reached the place, breakfast was ready.

People started taking snaps of each other and sat down to have breakfast after that. Idlis, vada bread butter jam and omlet was served for the breakfast. After that we were shown the place, they had a decent swimming pool, a ground and lot of things which children play, like jula and kind of stuff. All the girls were interested in these kind of things, quite strange. I did not know what was so much they were enzoying when they were swinging in the jula. Probably i might come to know about this later in the day!!

After a good breakfast we guys went to the basket ball court and played basket ball. Two teams were formed and we started playing. The funny thing is no one knew what the rules were. People were not dribbling the ball, they just grab the ball and run to the other side of the court, but it was fun. People continued playing, but wanted to try badminton, so myself with my colleagues went to the shuttle court and played a couple of games. Then Karthik (PM) joined us, we played the game as professional as possible with rules. Karthik was asking for the rules, but I was quite amazed to see that he really played very gud. I played two games and came out and saw that people were enzoying a lot in swimming pool. Swimming is one of favourite, I like to swim a lot and I am not afraid of water. We played in the water for a long time till 12:30 PM and after that had a very good lunch. The only thing that was not available, were the drinks but we could taste wine which Karthik had bought from home. I tasted wine after a long time and it was good.

After lunch people did not want to play any games that we the organizers had arranged for but settle down to play two games, which were again quite fun to play. After this there were appreciation award distributed to the well performing people in the Unit, and I was also expecting one. Finally they called my name and I was there in a flash of second to receive the award. You feel very confident when such kind of award are distributed and if you are one of the recipient. I felt very good.

I came to know before itself that I was one of the recipient, so the day before I was preparing a speech and reharsing it. But to my disappointment did not get a chance to read the speech out.

Finally after the games, we went to play cricket and after that the real fun began. I went to collect my towel near the swimming pool, when I came back again to the ground I saw people dancing in Rain, no it was not raining but the resort had a place which was like a man made rain, we danced a lot to some of the gud songs played by the resort people. This was only thing that a lot of people enzoyed and people got really drenched in the rain. The joy was stopped when the PM called us back and said we have to leave for the day, all of them were disappointed but we had to leave as it was getting late. We had tea and at around 6:00 PM left the place.


All the people had assembled near the shuttle; I could see a couple of girls were swiging in the jula. I wanted to try to see how it feels, so I told them that we are getting late and they stopped swiging, as soon as they got down from the jula, I went to try it and they came again, my friend sat beside me and we played for sometime, this was fun. I was afraid that I might fall because after a long time i was swinging in a jula. she started teasing me that I was afraid (puppy Shame) and other friends also joined to tease me. As it was getting late we left the place and everyone was silent in the shuttle and our shuttle was the first to reach office. Altogether it was fun and enzoyed a lot.

There are couple of instances that made this day a memorable one. I did not bring my bike so I asked this new found friend (I say she is a new friend even though I know her past one and half years because she still amazes me, hope this friendship continues) , if she could drop me for which she agreed; on the way to my home there is this guy who prepares panipuri very gud, where we had pani puri. After her said gud bye to her and I left. All in all i can say....................."It was another perfect day!!!! "

“I still believe it when she say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.
