office outbound to jim corbett

had an office outbound trip from 29 feb to 2 march. almost the entire vmc and elh teams went for the trip to jim corbett.

took some time for it to actually sink in that we were going. on some previous occasions, such trips had been canceled and seemed to be jinxed. but i guess march is the month for me for a getaway every year. maybe except for 2008, every year since 2006, i have got an opportunity to get away form delhi for a welcome break.

we stayed at solluna resort - beautiful place with amazing food. we had several fun activities like cricket, rock climbing, rappelling, beach volleyball, crossing the river etc at the resort.

went for the jungle safari as well. cud manage to see some deer, wild boar. our guide for the safari told us that gate no. 2 had higher probability of tiger sightings. 

2 of us broke off early for an office meeting at rudrapur.enjoyed that trip as well.

stopped at tadka dhaba while returning for some awesome food.

clicked lots of pics. had refreshing 3 days.

two love stories..

today i came to know about the final episode of two love stories, the male protagonists being my friends in both the cases.

both relationships started in pg college one story 5 year old and the other 3. both stories had a seasoned approach. 

the 5 year old had a happy ending, marriage due early next year. 

the 3 year old one ending in the protagonists bidding bidding adieu to each other. one of the families did not agree and the relationship had to be ended. 

intezaar aur sahi...

was reminded of this song by gulzar, performed by jagjit singh


Meri ankhon ke sabhi khwab pyase hain abhi
Pyay ki koi ghata ghir ke aayegi kabhi
Intezaar aur sahi, intezar aur sahi.......

Paas rehkar bhi koi dil se kyun duur lage
Main bhi majboor sa hoon
who bhi majboor lage
apna gham keh na sakun meri uljhan hai yahi
intezar aur sahi intezar aur sahi......

yeh udasi yeh thakan band kamre ki ghutan
dil me kya hone laga dard hai yak ke chubhan
aaj bhi mujhse kahe aag seene me dabi
intezar aur sahi intezar aur sahi.........

See, see the kind sky
Marvel at its big pink depths.
Tell me, gaurav do you
Wonder why the skunk ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel energetic.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your tiss facial growth
That looks like
A milk.
What's more, it knows
Your blah potting shed
Smells of olives.
Everything under the big kind sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm rotten eggs.--
