Goan Delight







It was raining very heavily when we reached Goa. We were driving from past 12 hrs !!. And this was not a good welcome scene. Everyone had a big frown on their faces. We expected goa to be sunny, blue sky, happy
and lots of suntan !!. But it turned out to be cloudy, windy, dull and heavy rains.

Well, somehow we manged to get a beach resort. Checked in and had a good sleep. since this was a off season goa was empty!!. Till now i was skeptical about the goa. But Goa was quite a revelation to me. Party starts at around 10 in the night and goes till the wee hours in the morning. Goa is very beautiful. full of greenery and lots of beaches. At night 12 we came across a drive way kind of place and there was a guy who was singing "tu hi meri shaab hai". his voice was magical and was strumming the guitar very beautifully !!. Goa is a kind of place
which never sleeps. Early morning beach football was too good. when time came to bid adieu to goa , I was feeling very bad as i was not able to spend much time there. But promised myself that i will be back as soon as possible .
Hasta la vista baby !!

I'm on cloud Nine !!!!







The organizer looked into my eyes and gave a doubtful grin. It was more of a sarcastic kind of look than confusing. This was the expression given by her when I told her my theme of skit which I would be performing and directing on our Customer Day. After convincing her, next task was getting actors!! . Only 1 week was left and no actors!!

I went to each cubicle and started asking them to act in my skit. It was quite an exciting, embarrassing and humiliating Experience. At last I was able to get some reluctant people to act for me. All of them turned up 1 hr late for the first day of rehearsal. It was very difficult to make 8 unknown people act. It went very bad!! The next day 4 guyz ditched me and again I was in look out for new people. To cut a long story short, I had hell time doing all these.On the D-day, I was quite tense about the outcome of my drama.

Well, the response was overwhelming. The praises have not yet stopped!! . I AM ON CLUD NINE!!

These are the responses from my skit mates:

Hi skit-gurus,
When first day I went to attain the skit
rehearsal I was so confused how it will come out?
Then I got together with few talented skit gurus
who made it so simple. At last we had done good job
in stage. So I am congratulating them who made it
excellent. I am specially mentioning for Satish(Director)
who wrote an awesome script for us. Further if u write
any script,please tell us we will participate without
any questions.Thanks all

Hello ppl,We indeed had a great time during the course of
practise and a much better time on stage on Saturday.
I think its time for me also to confess.Even I had
some doubts as to how would it come out on the stage,
but I shld say that when we have as talented
ppl as you all are,it had to come out pretty well.
Special mention for our director
(think there is no need to right his name...we all know him)
,the Script that you had made was really good which meant

half the Job was done and we had to only give the
finishing touches.
Cheers to everyone.
Thanks & Regards,
Vasudev B N

I had an awesome time practicing the skit, though with initial skepticism that if its going to click or not. But later convinced myself that its for the practice and fun that we are doing this skit and eventual result was not something of importance.But it was a huge response folks, all my team members and folks of neighboring teams congratulated and said it was an awesome fun!!!!Kudos to Satish Murthy for his concept!!!Cheers, v have a long way 2 go mates!!!!!!!!!!!!Subhash Pande
