Guhantara, The Road That was not taken!


Yet Another quarter of the year, Yet another Team outing. I am all excited about this trip. The website is fantastic. The description of the place is awesome! Pratheek is out outing co-coordinator. The Bangalore Weather is beautiful, we were asked to assemble at the office premises at 8.00 AM IST. As usual IST 8.00 AM =9.30 AM. We all started at 9.30 AM. Located at Kanakpura Road, Guhantera a road that was not taken often by people. Apart from the whether, the aroma of country soil, unpolluted air! It's really an amazing feeling. We Reached the pace by 10.30 AM. We'r all set to have some fun and be party animals for few hours.

Right when we entered the place, we saw this sand beach volley ball kinda set up. I was reminded of my school days. Volley ball is a fun game! We accepted the shitty welcome drink gratefully :) waited for a bunch of creeps to complete their game. We Started the game and we beat our opponents (few of our team mates at work place) to a humiliating 2-0 defeat. I should mention, that this game was fun filled. Each one of us were exhilarated. During the 3rd game we were interrupted by a bunch of another creeps. Thats alright. It was time to get high and have food. Sarkar, Narma, Mohan , pratheek , i and My manager were the group of drunken monkeys that day. We go high. The best part was pratheek getting high and puking in his plate. All through the time he was sloshed and his head wouldn't raise. After all the drinking , eating merry making session , was the time to hit the pool. We swam for a while like a group of whales. Ha Ha Ha.. Hilarious comment wasn't it?

Its time for the rain dance. We started to have fun, dancing like crazy people. The moment the music was on, we felt like pro dancers. Although, the only thing each one of us knew was to shake our legs, hips and asses. Mohan, a colleague of mine made new friends(i believe gay friend) ha ha .. when the rain dance was on. Here comes this part called "The Raise and the Fall" . For a moment, i was sky rocketed i was on top of the world. These 2guys mohan and his newly formed friend lifted me up in the air, i had a feeling of being a rock star. Kurt Cobain, MJ etc.. Lots of emotions running through my mind. The next minute all i could hear was a "Thud". I was put down. No major injuries. Still i managed to scratch my face. Thanks to the alcohol . I swear it saved me that day. Now after the fall, this nursery rhyme " Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall... Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" Was running through my mind. Thus,
"The Raise and the Fall". In the meanwhile, it was time for a Tea, biscuits, and other snacks. I had a tough time in managing Prateek, the organizer of the the trip. He was Drunk and could not walk by himself. We all wrapped up, time to say good bye and get back to work! For now it's Audios Amigos.... Guhantara, The Road that was not often taken was a pleasant visit.

Me Myself and My Hard Drive :)

In the recent Days i have developed this strange habit of misplacing my USB hard drive. Though it's not worth writing a blog for it. I conveniently felt i should go-ahead and write it. It was a fine monring, don't remember the dates. My colleage Suvendu sends me an sms . Buddy Pls bring your hard drive... I searched searched and searched. I felt my efforts are to go in vain. I reached office with despair. I remembered that i had given my hard drive to Sanoth one another colleague of mine. When i asked him about it his answer was negative. I was wondering and came home in the evening and started my searching attempt again. Thankfully i found the hard drive in my laptop bag.

Now i'll describe the second incident when i lost my hard drive. I mean, the presumed loss. I was asked for my hard drive on this occation by Sarkar my colleague. I mentioned that the hard drive was at my place and that he could drop me after work and pick up the hard disk. Well Sarkar drops me. I was searching again in vain... I serioulsy could not remember where on earth i misplaced my hard drive. WTF is happening i was completely lost. I tell sarkar that the drive should be at the office drawer, he leaves my place. Next day we search for it in my drawer could not find it! damn it! I go back to Santosh again asking for it. He says buddy you should probally write a blog on this . Here i am writing my story now. Next i call up vikash , Bhabani all my colleagues. The answer was negative again! I came home, sat down searched for the hard drive. I could not find it. I started to think in a relaxed mood. I realised that few days ago one of my friends wanted my Hard drive because he was about to format his system. The time i recollected this , i placed a call to him. He gave me an affirmative answer! Ah! i felt! All that mattered at the end of the day is i got something to write :) I am extrememly happy blogging once again! Cheers !!! This calls for a glass of Beer he he :) Any how , i will keep posting my future experiences on my assumed hard drive loss. I hope i dont loose it for real :)
