Tale of trip to Rishikesh

T(hrillful) A(dventerous) L(evish) Event


Trip to Rishikesh was a memorable event. It started it with a family photograph and an intro. Antakshri was great time pass and Rachna the RJ leaded the same. Some heard her singing even while she was sleeping in the bus. When I introduced Amitabh to my daughter; she kept thinking that he is actually the celebrity “Amitabh Bachhan” with beard shaven off.

The day started with 500 Mtr. trekking from roads to camp; and bachelor’s were the first to complete it. Every one enjoyed in Ganga after Breakfast. Mayank along with Deepak and Ketan enjoyed swimming the most. Mayank had to be reminded that he actually has to move to the camp before night. Vishwa and Manindra acted as life guard and saved Deepak. Neeraj was seemed enjoying his bachelor’s life. Some went ahead for trekking. The day finished with lunch (not dinner) followed by antakshari as a team building exercise.

The very next day Yoga Guru (Amit) was seen taking the yoga classes. Jatin was trying to make the postures hoo-ba-hoo .Vaibhav was seen playing Volleyball with ex-GL persons. Everyone was wondering how come he learnt the game overnight. People did find the motivational factor. Rohit was busy in chilling coke for everyone. He invented a refrigerator which could run without electricity. Shobhit was busy with his future plans which might need some re-planning after coming to office. Randhip kept a nab on Shobit there also. Rafting was an adventure for everyone. Deepak was re-saved this morning too while rafting. Bala’s sight got blurred and he thought he has lost some of his friend (including Vishwa) at roller coaster rapid. Prabhat was hit by a rock and he actually saved his spine.

Harjot had a Nirvana; this was his knowledge day. He shared this knowledge with everyone. After this everyone realized that rafting activity was equivalent to their project; with guide acting as Manager (i.e. just giving command and not working ) and everyone playing as a team in case of rapids (i.e. hurdles). Great analysis Harjot.

Manindra tried to jump “thrice” from majnu ka teela; every time in vain. He left the efforts after that. Everyone was trying to find out what is forcing him to do so. After having Maggi at cliff point the raft moved to Ram jhoola. Ram jhoola was actually bigger than Lakshman jhoola. It was time to finish off and everyone was in the bus after having evening lunch.

Thanks to everyone for making this trip wonderful and memorable. Organizing committee had put a tremendous effort to make it a success. Some might not be knowing; they actually kept fast to make others feast. Special thanks to Tilak. All in all an unforgettable experience.
