[Fisrt Scene : In auto rickshaw]logo.gif

Tring Tring…. Tring Tring……

[--1--] – “I am not picking it up, you pick it up.”

[--2--] – “Hi, where are you? Come fast. We all are waiting here for you guys?”

[--3--] – “We are on auto and will be reaching there in few minutes. Just wait for couple of minutes more.”

The auto stops at the red light just 20 meters apart from the company.

[--3--] -”Hey guys! Move on, rather than waiting for next 50-55 secs we can reach there faster.”

[--4--] -”Chill! They are not going anywhere without us.”

Everybody settled down and waited till green light turns on.

[--1--] -”Bhaiya! iss badi (??) building ke samne jo bus khadi hain wahan rokna?”

There was no one in the bus.

[--4--] -”It seems they are waiting for us.”

[--1--] -”No No, I think company must have hired two buses as 60-70 people agreed for the picnic. I think in one bus it is quite difficult to arrange 60-70 peoples. Lets clarify.”

One of them waived his hand just from outside the gate.

[--1--] -”Mangal ji, sab gaye kya?”

Mangal ji without saying a word , gave smile and pointed towards the reception.

We moved towards the reception.

[Second Scene : in reception room]

[--1--] -”OMG, what is that? Where is the crowd? “

[--2--] -”Hmmm, We are waiting for them only.” dejected reply from a girl.

[--5--] -”This is very wrong. Why should we wait for them. We were supposed to leave by 8:00. Its already 8:45.”

[--1--] -”Haan haan, He is absolutely right”. one of the three guys who just arrived seconded it.

+++++ Lesson ++++++

[These three people came late and they were accusing those late comers. Excuse me, you are also one of those, late comers...huh.]

+++++++++++++++++

He continues ,”You know its seems every one is trying to misuse the flexibility of timing. They know, we will not leave till they come. So they really don’t care. Just by telling on phone that I will be late doesn’t really justify there coming late for picnic [?? company too]. They should have planned everything before hand such that they don’t get late.”

“It may be due to cold weather or late night sleep or late wake up problems which usually everyone has.”

“Don’t tell me, its because of cold weather, last time FIP team departed for Sultanpur trip at 5:00 am in the morning.”

“Hmm, its 6:30 am, remember? “

“K K, but its 9:00am already my boy?”

“See Mangal ji, Shilpi, Bhawna [ordered way] etc were here before time.”

“Even we don’t know whom we are waiting for”.

“You know people are very shrewd, most of the people who didn’t come know that they will not be able to make the trip but just for the sake that they will loose something that company is offering, they signed in the list.”

“No No, no all of them but there are some who might think like this.”

+++++ Lesson ++++++

“Yeah of course, but you are old enough to decide your priorities now. If you cant even decide such a silly thing, you are fool, aren’t you? I agree that some has agreed and didn’t come because of genuine problem but most of them didn’t come just because they don’t want to.”

+++++++++++++++++

“Whatever lets forget about everything and plan what to do next? Shall we move?”

One big idea came from —–

“Who decided this place for picnic? There is nothing to enjoy there. I think we can move out to some other place.”

“Why didn’t you attend the meeting when the place was decided?”

[Second Lesson: Peoples have always opinions and doubts after the meeting (after it has been decided). Better attend the meeting and contribute.]

“Well, I think we shall leave these things apart and move on?”

“Hey, Its already 9:15 I haven’t taken breakfast. Anybody have something to eat?”

“No we don’t have much, here are some biscuits”

+++++ Lesson +++++++

[Third Lesson: Bad Management, you could have bought some snacks so that peoples don't need to wait for breakfast at home and can reach company by time.]

++++++++++++++++++

Everybody get into the bus. Bus started to accelerate. Few of them waived hand towards Mangal ji.

dsc007191.JPG dsc007161.JPG dsc007141.JPG

[Third Scene: In The bus]

“BBye, Mangal ji.”

“We could have brought mangal ji with us. Why didn’t we bring him?”

Nobody answer. May be nobody has any answer for that.

I personally thought to bring him with us but I was not sure if I was right or wrong. So it was left unanswered.

“Driver ji, appko pick points toh yaad hain naah. Lajpat nagar, south ex, safdarjung , motibagh and gurudwara, dhaulakuan?”

“Why do we need to visit so many places. We can leave some of the pick points as we cant expect much people out there.”

+++++ Lesson +++++++

[Its better to keep your mouth shut than to open and prove that you are a fool.]

++++++++++++++++++

“Come on yaar, we can’t do this. They are waiting for us since a long time. We are late already for no reason.

“Hmm, What we can do is that we can say lajpat nagar people that we forgot to pick you up and coming back from dhaulakuan and vice versa.

[ Good One :) . At least everybody laughed at this joke.]

[Fourth Scene: 0 HOUR STARTED]

(A bit personal attack, so please don’t mind it)

I heard it for the first time but it really sounds good. So all thanks to him “Zoheb” for this name.

“Dekho, koi dil par nahin lega,as 0 Hour started now. So Please guys control your emotions and lets participate in 0 hour event.”

One confirmed that there is no pick up from lajpat nagar. So we moved directly to south extension.

Our first pickup was waiting at the stop. He entered the bus. Opps!! he sat on the very first seat. It seems there is something very special in that seat. I cant see anything in that seat but it seems the there is something very special in the adjacent seat.

“Now the next pick point is about to come. Let us see if he is as lucky as him or not to get some special seats.”

On very next moment, every one put up handkerchief on their nose, it seems bus has just crossed some stinky place where good things are being burned and dirty things are coming up. May be when good things burns out, it smells more that bad things. After a little research we found out that the windows corresponding to “Special Seat” was open. We thought that we will be able to cross the foully place in few minutes but it didn’t happen. We even tried to close the doors, windows etc. Pour some perfume but it doesn’t help. Finally we decided to live up with that.

+++++ Lesson +++++++

But one thing was left unanswered, why do we burn good things rather than the bad one which don’t even smell and pollute the environment.

++++++++++++++++++

The gossip continues. I don’t know but I figured out some people who are not really enjoying the journey and 0 hour fun. May be because they are shy. I tried to cheer them up but no success. Suddenly I heard “CLICK CLICK”. Somebody among us got the camera. Opps!! I was wrong there are certain ways by which we can involve shy peoples. They were very much excited to get shot as they know dancing on bus, cracking joke wont last for long but clicks will be there for whole life. Dancing, singing, enjoying are stupid things [are they??]. May be they are right but by that context we 7-8 peoples were stupid.

[Personal thought - I hate getting clicked as I hardly get noticed in dark places :D .]

[Fifth Scene : At Golden Resorts, Rewadi ]

######## Session First : Before Lunch

Finally after two and half hour journey we reached “GOLDEN HUT RESORTS, Rewadi”.

Now gals as usual move to the wash room [make up and all] and guys to the cafeteria to take breakfast with their dirty hands. We were supposed to take breakfast but after seeing the attitude of everyone (as it was already 12:00 noon) towards “breakfast” I changed my mood to take breakfast and did full fledged lunch.

Then we moved to cricket ground. That was really awesome. After such a long time I was playing cricket. Teams were distributed and match was started. Few of us don’t participated.

We (team in which I was placed) won the toss and Zoheb and Sanjay Sharma started to bat. Numbers of over were fixed to 10. They batted very well. Sixes and fours everywhere. But after 4 over. Rajeev sir told them to give chances to other team members too. But they said they will give returned hurt after 5th. But Sanjay Sharma got out before that and Zoeb gave retired hurt after 5th over. Now I was on the pitch . Opps bad shot. The ball is out of the field. Its not a six but out. DUCK !!!.

We in total made 77 (don’t remember) runs in 10 over.

[Some boasting : My CPA was cricket at IIT.]

I am not a good bowler but I thought as I didn’t bat well so bowling might help in getting my pride back to me. [ Dil par mat le yaar.]

+++++ Lesson +++++++

[Never do worst thing to cover the bad thing you did.]

++++++++++++++++++

Sanjay ji was more emphasizing more on wining the match and a girl was continuously saying to involve everyone in the match and give them chance and let them enjoy too. Finally after Rajeev sir come in picture everyone got the chance to show their talent. It was like a live “LAGGAN” going on. Everyone was showing different techniques to bat and bowl.

Main player of this match:

Zoheb,Sanjay Sharma, Shilpi

Man of the match was given to “Shilpi” for taking 3 wickets in a over.

+++++ Lesson +++++++

Oops that should be WOMAN of the match. Not my fault, its male dominated society.

++++++++++++++++++

Zoheb the best batman for contributing 51 runs to the team.

Second team just made 17 runs (all wickets).

We played one more cricket match as everyone was not able to participate in the last match.

Main players of this match:

Rajeev Sir, Sheetal Gupta, Vinay, Zoheb

Main of the match : Rajeev Sir

######## Session Second : After Lunch

Then we move to cafeteria to take lunch. Lunch was very good. I was very much tired so didn’t really enjoyed lunch. I don’t know really know what happened at the main lunch table as I was on the separate lunch table.

After lunch we went to pool side. A family was already there at the pool side. As we have no prior knowledge that swimming pool will be there so nobody brought his/her swimming costume. We moved out that place. Then went to play musical chair.

Everybody was cheating including me. Specially a girl (who pushed three person out of the game). The final two was :

1. Sheetal Gupta

2. Shilpi Agarwal

Finally, Sheetal won the game.

After that we played lemon race , landgi race, kho kho and tug of war.

Winner of Lemon Race : Me

Winner of Landgi Race : Satish ( I didn’t touched the line which was not noticed by anybody except Vinay whose nobody listened and accepted me as winner.)

Winner of Kho-Kho : I don’t remember all names but opposite team.

After that we went to cafeteria to take evening snacks.

Back Ground Song: Do (??) Dil Mil Rahe Hain, magar chupke chupke..

Not “two’ but it seems “6″ :D . I leave on you to figure out that.

Now its time to leave. We clicked and clicked and clicked to get everything in snaps which really we cant.

As fun, I was trying to fool everybody by giving them a empty packet of water. I did same with Swati and Sheetal. Swati kept that empty packet in dustbin but Sheetal throw it at me. And Swati got to see that. Ufffff.. She told me to pick that up and throw it in dustbin. I gave excuse that Sheetal did that, but she didn’t listen :( .I was confused to do or not to do, but finally I thought I should pick that up. After such a long time someone was scolding me for a good cause.

+++++ Lesson +++++++

We make India polluted, not India allow us to pollute herself.

++++++++++++++++++

If I have to rate who enjoyed the most in the trip as far as I could see were:

1. Swati [participated in every event]

2. Zoheb Khalid

[Sixth Scene : In bus, back to home]

We get into the bus and started to play antakshari.

Result of antakshari : Tie

[But I think we loose the game because the song I sung "Nam dara.Nam dara....Tere bina" was actually "Dum Dara Dum dara..Tere bina].I came to know about this last night only. Confirmed it from net today.
A huge database of songs: Sabah and Bhawna [Really impressed]

+++++ Lesson +++++++

In between the journey, I felt that imitating good things (like dustbin case) also helps in getting better. I mean, if you imitate something good, even if you are not like that, it will help you to be like that after sometime.

++++++++++++++++++

There was also something very fishy going at the back of the seats. May be a serious GIRLY talk. “Guys are insensible and useless types..” [:D]. Finally we reached Contata and then back to home.

dsc007271.JPG dsc007871.JPG

[ Purpose of the trip ??? ]

I think the purpose of the trip was not yet conveyed to everybody.

Firstly, We were supposed to know each other and to build a Contata spirit. 60 (or more) people have signed the list, but there were only 21 peoples present. That is not only wasting the money of the company but also wasting the time of everybody. If we calculate the money that we have wasted on this trip that will be equivalent to three times we have used it this time. I think from next time onwards there will be more participation and more enthusiasm in junta regarding any trip.

Secondly, Though we enjoyed a lot but we could have done better than this. The place was a real bore. The committee should come up with better option than this where we could have more fun and more interaction.

Figure out person 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and of course 3 pairs [6 people] I don’t really take any responsibility of any weird guess by Contata junta.

Product 7
Products by Apple


Price: $99,999.99

 

A strange, unknown product from Apple has been for sale on Amazon for over year : Product 7. The price is crazy ($99,999.99) but funnier is nobody knows what it effectively is. the big question comes from Macuser :

“Clearly this has to be a mistake. Why hasn’t Amazon corrected it?”
