if u kno me well personally, u shd b aware that i always like to face differnt situations than gettin on wth watz happening all the time.... i slowly had this feeling growing aggressively on me until last week as life started to b more workaholic and no much fun occupying my mind.....
the remedy arrived last weekend :) yeahhhhhh it was a team outbound training that we had for 3 nights and 2 days.... however, i wasnt anticipating any much fun as i thought its gonna b too official and things will b very formal... my perceptions were almost stupid, i realized this once we started trip.... the place this time is Danteli, 60 kms away from hubli (Karnataka) .... this place is very close to Goa border (i shudve sneaked away ...)
we left bangalore on train on thursday nite.... we wer 70 ppl altogether and it was fun all nite in the train... public wer too good and din bother us at all.... reachd hubli the next morning and started heading towards danteli....Danteli is a lavishing beauty wth fulla thick jungle and aggresive river all over... medium showers there tickled my adventure bones and i was floating
with the bliss for all the 2 days.... we reached the jungle lodges resort and adventure camp... very unfortunately the white water rafting got cancelled at the last moment due to heavy water current ( this current was indeed a shock to me :( ) we hired a training team from outside to carry on with the team building exercises (the actual objective of the trip) .... the guy was pretty impressive wth his looks and commanding tone... the main purpose is to kno ppl in yr team very well by travelling with them and sharing yr thoughts....
i slowly gotto kno many ppl in my deprtment who wer (unlike my team) very good and frndly... we all wer charged up (tho been too tired out of the train journey) for the activities.... we all wer broken in to many teams and the tasks wer given.... it was all fun and thrilling we learned a lot about strategy, communication, collaboration, resource management, adapting to environmnt etc.... all these years ive seen all these only in books... now i felt that all myself ... it was great yo...
few of the activities were very much challenging and taken the piss outta us.... it was so long and tiring .... still we had the fun we wanted every often.. the food was absltly great (my deepest concern ;)) i was in dormitry sharing wth 10 other cool dudes in my deprtmnt... its an irony, no matter how good or bad the ppl are ... when it comes to dormitry and sharing every one appears extremely good and frndly.....(is that my illusion???) doesnt matter i had my fun... the eveng we had the treasure hunt as a part of the team activity... it was an experience... torches in the hand.... dark jungle ... scary night...rain every where... search for clues...fear of those deadly creatures... the funnies part is ..our clues wer taken by monkeys there and the resource person of our deam disclosed the back up clue he had......the day was finally over at one point (no one found the treasure....hahaha)
the night was abslte fun and laughter for us in the dorm..... again too late... and forced myself to sleep as i was too tired... the next day wasnt so exciting as we all totally worked out and the physical activities was not appealing to us at all.... again team activities .... the common thing i observed here is the seniors (mre than 2 years in the company) wer more energitic but was way too rude and were trying to dominate the juniors (less than 1 year odd exp...like me) in most of the team activities.... this is only a nudge that i had wth in me and apart from this i enjoyed the rest of it.....
we all wer set free the after noon for the coracle rides along the river... i chose to skip this as the coracles wer over crowded and i felt stuffy in between the crowd.... so we ( all my mates who joined sap wth me) prefered to have a long and conversational walk in to jungle just to ease ourselves.... i shud say it was another experience and its so ironic ppl strt to flow out wth emotions wen they are excited or in a very different situation wer they never in wth the same ppl.... we all had a common theme in our discussions...its the managers attitude and behaviour against the new bies.... we rated good, bad and worst managers.....enjoyed the scenic beauty of danteli....
back to resort...packed up and left the place wth fulla adventurous and completely strange memories.... this is not a normal outing at all.... for the first time i felt this wen im out to a jungle....adventure, learning and fun all the way.....
