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.
