Me's Back! :D

Am glad,the blog's just the way I left it! :D

Oh k,so now about my trip.Man,didnt it feel good! Stepping outta Hyd after 10 god damn years!I almost forgot how to travel! But,did manage pretty well :).

We left on 9th eve by a Volvo.Umm..was initially a lil uncomfy while sleeping,but Vishu's shoulder makes for a good pillow :D!Reached Pune at around 4 am,but was too lazy and sleepy to get down.Had breakfast at some hotel on the uphills to Mahabaleshwar (MBW!).It was a all marathi fare...missal pav,batata vada,this puri and that sev ! Damn yummy! :D .Reached MBW by 11 am.And I had a deluxe room all for myself :D!Met folks from other centers there.After the intro,had a photo session.Had lunch,this time Gujju stuff.So much meetha man!Everything tasted sweet!!

Had a quick nap and then headed for the sightseeing tour.We went for boating,and right in between the lake,Vishu and Umang gave up! Had to maska marofy them to keep pedalling!The weather was tooooo chilly,with the temp reaching 5 deg at nights!Wahan se,went to the local market and shopped and shopped :D!Came back,had dinner and a DJ night.Didnt feel like dancing after such a heavy dinner! Dance parties on all the nights made sure we hardly slept after the dinners.

Day 2:- Inspite of our TL reminding us to be there at the Conference by 9,we were still at the breakfast table at 9.20!One thing I've realised,men sure do take LOT MORE time to get up and get going then gals do!! I had to wait for nearly 40 mins,for my gang to finish their morning chores and join me for breakfast! Got royally delayed for the conf.Thankfully,it hadnt started by the time we got seated.But the TL was damn pissed off.The VP's address was postponed to the 2nd day of the conf,so we had few 'brainstorming sessions' on the first day.Our team bagged one of the prizes.The conf went upto 4.This was followed by the culturals night,where all the teams had to perform :-O! We weren't prepared with anything,so cooked up a skit on sholay,remixed it and presented.And got royally jacked by the culturals commt the next day!Sheesh,so much for spontaniety and on-the-spot thinking!

Day 3:- Was dot on time for the conf! :D 9am sharp!Inspite of having aloo and methi parathas for breakfast :P!The agenda was the intro of all acheivers across India and the VP's address.And as boredom began creeping in,the VP took the stage.The way he pulled up last time's TLs' and their achievements in this quarter,was akin to pouring ice cold water right on ur head!Everybody woke up!His voice was commanding,and he sure was a tough task master!The next set of TL's quickly said their silent prayers and headed for the stage.Kasam se,sabki vaat lag gayi thi!This done,all the achievers were given the medals and cheques & the conference was over.

We then visited the Table Tops and caves.Wanted to catch the Fort too,but we were getting late :(.Checked the Mapro (the leading producer of strawberry goods in MBW)factory outlet and bought strawberry in all possible forms and recipes!The Jelly toffees are cool too :D.

With all expenses being taken care of by the college,the trip was a learning experience on how to control yourself,when everything is on the house :))!

The Ghats rock!(Literally :)) )So does the cheese! 4 days of pure veg food for a hard core nonveggie like me,was impossible to think of.But,at MBW I realised veggie food can be sexy too :D .
We came back by train.Did nothing but slept!The 4 days at MBW saw us sleeping for hardly 6 hours!

All in all,just the kinda break you need 2 weeks before ur end terms.Now get back to the grind,lady!!
