A day to remember... Factset Hyderabad's 1st Social Outing - organised by Me & Arvind

The 21st February 2009, was a Saturday filled with team-building, sports, talent performances and fun for the FactSetters based in Hyderabad, India. It was the 1st FactSet Team Outing hosted at the Golkonda Resorts & Spa, near Gandipet Lake in the outskirts of Hyderabad.

From the dawn of the day, everyone started off to reach the designated pick-up points and head towards the resort. The fun started in the buses with everyone singing and the party mood gradually paved in.

The pre-lunch session was loaded with games which made everyone run, show-off their power and of course; win exciting prizes too!!! The games were specially chosen to ensure everyone enjoys every moment and yearn for more!!

At Lunch, the resort’s chefs was successful in tickling everyone‘s taste buds, no matter one was a veggie or meat eater. The creamy delicious desert & the mmmmm... yummy ice-cream made everyone return for a second helping!!



Tummies full, smiles all around, everyone looked Smug. The thought of getting a fluffy bed for an afternoon siesta definitely crossed a few minds but just for a moment!!
   
The post-lunch session had some more indoor games specially handpicked to keep the crowd from lulling away from an afternoon nap. The first competition was amongst the nominees from the crowd… guess who were nominated…? None other than the managers themselves!! All they had to do was manage to put a green chili in to an empty bottle.
   
The performances from the Talent Pool (consisting of Witty comedians, Enthralling dancers and Melodious Singers) was a huge success with the crowd cheering for more.

Just before hi-tea that was organized by the pool side, the water lovers had time to catch up with some fun in the swimming pool. Ah, it sure was relaxing to play in the cool waters with the late afternoon sun preparing for sunset!!

During sunset, we had a grand prize distribution session to give away the moments of memory to the winners of the day. When the day ended, everyone climbed back into the buses with a smile and loads of memories to cherish!!!
   

My Dilemma ridden ad for Garage Sale!!!

Dilemma..!!!!! Yes, dilemma.. questions.. doubts.. thoughts.. memories.. emotions.. almost evreywhere.. every minute..!!

Ever since i've decided to sell off the 1st pieces of my furniture, those were the feelings I've been goin thru.!!

This was not the first time I wished to sell them off.. it was exactly a year back when the thought to sell of the furniture came to my mind.. or rather do I say.. planted in my mind by Papa dearest...

Papa and Mama wanted me to sell off or get rid off the memories of my brutal past and move on into a new phase of life.. but, I could not get over the thought of selling those that dearly were once bought "together"!! After a few trails and discussions, people approaching us for the ads posted on Sulekha, I finally decided to delete the ad and not to sell them .. for the moment..! Gosh, I hated to do it.. but I did it for "us".. with a hope of being "together" again sometime, somehow!!

Now today, after a year, when I look back, I realise that I am still carrying all the baggage, that supposedly would be fit to have left behind, loooong looong back... Physically yes... but just only a few parts of the emotional baggage, not completely.. No... not anymore!! Love.. and Marriage afterall... cant be forgotten or got over so easily and so soon!!

Hmmmmm.... hmmmmmmm... but I have to live my life to the fullest leaving off all the baggage and sailing off to new shores.. in the hope of a new beginning, a new life, a new home, a new phase.... So here I am SEALED/FROZEN/DEFINITE in selling off my 1st furniture ever, guys.. just wish me that I succeed in this task and become my own ever free spirit again..!!
