goa trip "brief"

back from goa...and it was really an amazing trip...never thought that i would have had so much fun on a official trip...and heres a "brief" account of the same...

Day 1

the way to goa was from bangalore for me...my boss had booked us on Kingfisher flight to Bangalore first and then from there we had a flight to Goa, in between we had a halt at the Bangalore airport for about 4 hours...the entire south zone team was also suppose to meet at the bangalore airport..and trust me...hyderabad airport is way better than the bangalore one in terms of design and layout :)..with my boss having done more than 200 flights he is a gold club member for Kingfisher and Jet...so i had gotten to be in the airport lounge with him rather than be in the waiting area :D

so after being at the airport for 4 hours and chit chatting around with managers who were about 5-10 yrs more experienced than i was..it was looking like a fun thing...took a Jet flight to goa and landed there at 3.30 in the afternoon...the airport there is a naval base , so saw a lot of naval planes there..which was fun for me :D...for the first night we checked in to a company nominated hotel and well just because we were suppose to be there for one night...the team decided to stay there....in the evening..we had drinks and snacks and just gossiped and chit chatting..it was fun to see the managers pulling each others legs like kids :D..after that the RSM called everyone for a meeting to discuss the POA for the meet ahead from 12th..after that...we all went out for diner at Martin's Corner in Madgaon...it wasnt expensive..but the food was good...nice fish and prawn stuff there...had tequila shots too with the other managers..after that the team went on to see Sarkar Raj at a theatre called Osia there....by the time we came back it was past midnight...just hit the bed and slept off....

Day 2

got up 9am and went for breakfast at 9.30am.....we had to get ready by 11.30am as the transport for the resort was to come there...the conference was suppose to be at "Intercontinental the Grand" at Cancuna which is like the southern most part of Goa...its a 2 hr drive from Madgaon to that place...but the place was awesome...nice lush green gardens and an amazing private beach...we had a good buffet lunch there...and after that we all gathered in the conference hall...the meeting started at around 5 in the evening once all the teams had arrived..i was more of an observer as i am still undergoing the OJT stint...so i was just going through the various presentations that were held that day...at around 8pm...we all headed for a theme dinner..dressed in floral and pink goan shirts...there was unlimited booze and a dance floor was setup..one of the guys who leads the carnival parade and his troops were the special attraction for that night...it was fun to see all the other managers dance and have fun and forget all the number targets for those few hours...i also got a memento by the time dinner finished and i got back to my awesome room in the resort it was like midnight...and i just slept off...

Day 3

The day started at 9.15 with breakfast and the meeting was suppose to begin at 9.45am...first of the day was presentations by the various departments and then in the 2nd half there were presentations by all the 4 zones on the targets for the 2nd half of the year...and i was again more of an observer and learner...it all ended around 7pm..dinner and booze was to start at arnd 8 so i had about one hr...so me and another manager...we headed off to take a stroll on the beach and see the waves splash hard..it was so amazing to be there...went to the dinner hall by around 8.30...todays special show was stunts by a fire artist...well i took a video..will upload it soon :)...after that got over...again we had some drinks and got back to dancing..danced till around midnight and then went off with another manager to the small casino inside the resort to play on the jackpot machines...so we played a few games and ended up being on the neutral side... :D..went back to the room arnd 1.30 and just slept off....

Day 4

Got up at 9am..and headed for a 30 minute free massage at the resort...it was good and pretty relaxing...it was the first time i gotta massage done...on the way back to the room i met sunny deol who was there in the resort too and we exchanged hi's....we had a brunch lined up at around noon and it was with champagne..which again was amazing...had amazing food there....our flight back was via mumbai...so we headed off to the airport at around 1pm...the flight was at 4.15pm...we reached the airport around 3 and sat in the lounge...sunny deol was also there...one of my managers wanted a photo with him..so i was given the task of talkin to sunny and getting the photo clicked...and i did it with ease...finally we boarded the flight to mumbai and landed there around 6..the flight to hyderabad was at 7.30pm...and so me and my boss sat in the airport lounge there...boarded the flight at 7.30 and reached hyderabad at 9pm....by the time i got back to the guest house it was 10.30pm...


so this was the short brief :D...hope u enjoyed it :)
