Audience day out

Well well well. Finally the much coveted audience day out a.k.a "the offsite" day arrived. This has been one the most talked about topic lately, after aapka soroor-The movie-The real love stpry but ofcource ( with all due respect to shree shree himesh reshamiya ji).
So we were informed about the whole thing beforehand just to avoid confusion and everyone ( rich people with cars n all) arranged for everyone else (poor people with no cars or bikes n all) to be picked.
I, on the night before was really panicky owing to my non punctual reputation and my cough and cold. But all's well that starts well, as in we were all on time( if we discount the 20 minutes delay).
So the audience ship of offsite set out in the ocean of bangalore traffic. Our destination was club cabana (reminds me of the song copa caban :D) and the traffic as usual was agonizing (despite of the fact that it was just 8 in the morning and we by the way were travelling towards the outskirts of Bangalooru)

To kill the time people suggested of watching a movie of the Flat screen touch button TV in the "LUXURY" bus (flat screen, as the TV was enclosed in a rectagular, box kinda screen and touch screen owing to the fact that it had to be touched several times before it starts).With a couple of arguments and agreements people decided to watch a mehmood's thing with all his gigs. But instead of killing time it was killing the people who were trying to watch it. and one by one people were succumbing to sleep owing to the excruciating jokes.
Finally some angels from the back of the bus suggesting of stopping te movie and finally the turmoil ended.
After some 45 minutes we reached club cabana where our breakfast wsa waiting for us.We had some sumptuos breakfast with loads of chitchat here and and people plannning bout various events. The air was so full of anticipation and people were enjoying every bit of a working day without working :) Then aparna called out to assemble to play a GAME.
Somehow I feel these team building games are to make, respectfull people, with the no nonsense written all over their face, feel foolish. And jerks like me to feel good about it :)
So we played the game of mking some device with the main power available.Somehow it felt more like a project with ajay pen and paper in his hand fishing for ideas and all of looking at him to come up with it. .

Finally we came uo with the brilliant out of the world idea of making a ancient griding thing ( wont call it a machine). When the "game" started and we did the whole thing ajay and sandy had all their nightmares come true as they were literally manhandled.

We also saw few of the good devices like one team made scissors and another one cycle.
After that Aprana gave us a update about her US visit and how there are so many new oppurtunities for everyone coming up. Everyone once again was in total awe of how in so less time our team has been ableto influence so many people sitting in US, all thanks to Aprna , Ajay and Ritin (and the SEO kids:D )
A
fter which all the kids were let loose and everyone started of with their games. Most of the guys started with cricket where Ameesh as usual, displayed his skills at bowling. A couple of others were busy with indoor games. Aparna and Divya left for playing squash and the rest of the girls got busy with chitchat or the indoor games.
After the cricket session "the boys" spilled themselves all over the place with few on the teniss court while other on the badmiton court and few others playing squash.
Later everone was gathered to feed themselves.Lunch was good with everyone filling their plates and making it resemple to a tiny mountain :D.
After lunch we had another activity lined up and everyone after the sumptuos lunch was looking for bed rather then any activity.
With a few whines and whimpers people divided themselves into the four teams(it was one of the toughest job with people taking it as a normal counting and going beyond 4 all the time).
So with heavy feet and head (what do u expect after such a heavy lunch) we proceeded towars the dark room. But once there all the sleep was gone coz the purpose of the game was to shout ad divert the other team member who tries to make his way thorough a number of obstacles blindfolded.
All the contestant were confused and irritated with theh rest of teams shouting at them. Imran finally gave in to the temptation and took of his blindfold.Pranita finally made it and so did divya but with a lot of rule braking (which her teammates outrightly deny). Our team also won despite of Ritin's attempts to cajole abhishek (I specifically remember him whispering something into his ears :D). The show stealet was satish. I had no clue at all that he can actually be so loud.Also there was a lot of rules breaking, man-handlelling, shouting on the cordinator, threating n all that but well that he part of all the offsites.

Later everyone headed towards bowling alley and a couple of us towarsd the baddi court ( Amrit challenged us and we...err... respectfully took it......) I tried scraing him off by saying am good n all that but I guess he knows me too well to bite that bait.

So we set off towards badi court.Me and Aprna in one team and divya and amrit in other.
Aparna played quite well but I totally compesated her by playing a reall lousy game and we lost (Thanks to me...)
We tried using a coupel of permutaions and combinations like me, amrit, aparna and divya then divya and ritin then Sulogna and ritin.
But in all conditions my team lost...sniff, sniff.
On the other end of the resort people were enjoying with water, some with the pure others with a distilled version (more often known as the liquor). Owing to his recent road fiasco was enjoying later part of water and Naveen and Arjun like true friends (They really do believe in a friend in NEED is a friend in DEED).

While the rest of the gang was taking turns in somersaulting in water. The whole place was alive because of their shouting and howling.When I went there I saw a number of skimply clad guys simply enjoying themselves in water and a few grls and a life guard sitting on the hsore tottally scandalised by the view :D.

And then there was Imraan ( A very well endowed guy) sitting on a tube (which was crying for mercy under him) resembling some blue whale on vacation and creating a mini Tsunami everytime he moved(Imraan , you are my best friend, buddy)
Deepak at the other of the pool was enjoyin his daddy'd day out (Am sure he would be happy to get a real holiday :D).

After a lot of chit chat (we literally made plans of our outings till december :D) and water splashes we bade goodbye to club cabana and headed towards Bangalore......and everyone agreed for that with the fear of getting stuck in traffic (yeah with bangalore people, getting stuck in traffic is the ultimate threat for getting anything done).
So turned our ship and were on our way when someone thought of having a little talent show of the newbies.
Everyone gave a performance with Fiza stealing the show. Ameesh and Imrann stood a close second with their almost breathtaking performances(almost, 'coz we survived that!!)
Then the old Naveen (yeah that how Naveen kumar is adressed these days owing to a new naveen entry in the team,Poor chap!!!) wsa asked to sing something. All sorts of request were flying in the air, from shakira's song to kannada song.
After some time we came to know that Naveen had already sung and finished the song, which we were totally unaware of (I think he was using some ultrasonic sound waves!!).

At the end of this audience idol show we started the evergreen antakshari. It was one of the most enjoyable part of the whole trip where the true talent of sachin, Fiza, Ameesh, Imraaan,Aparana and amrit came out.
The best part was angry young man avtaar of Amrit (phew! all of us had a mimni stroke because of that)
Well we enjoyed throughly thoughout the whole days, thansk to ajay and aparna and most importnatly AOL (You should never forget the one provide the moolah:D)
