Rocking weekend

This weekend was once again Team Building session from office. Being in the enabling division of any company is good and bad. On one hand you get high visibility and on the other you will have to sacrifice for being famous (:-P). So there went my weekend with this team building, just that I had to be a team player and a co-ordinate too...Some dual role.

Saturday was the regular corporate games, cricket with a difference(first ball to be bowled with the opposite hand and such controlling rules), difference was quite much, we played in the rain...must say it was amazing fun. After an hours refreshing break, we started off on a treasure hunt, in places not thought off...with a candle, torches and mobiles in hand, we went around hunting for treasure. Hindrances were snakes, darkness, electric poles which were waiting to give someone a tight hug. An hour of this dark adventure, and what best way to relax...the dance floor. While most of them enjoyed the dance floor, lesser known mortals like me hit the bed just when the clock heralded the new day.

Sunday, wake up at 6 a.m is like a far off dream, but that turned into a reality y'day. The entire group of 35 ready and raring to go. We went rappelling. A small hillock, 80 ft high. The minute I saw the ropes dangling I wanted to run away from there. But as we sat there nibbling at our sand wiches and watching the instructor do it, it didn't look like a tuff task altogether (just look and thought here). After about 45 minutes, I decided to try this daring stunt. The harness tied around, all set, I go to the end of the cliff.....a there I go freezzeee...I just could not move, I heard my people cheering and asking me to move on, but my limbs just don't take the signal. At one point I feel, I am going to fall with a thud, just then I pulled myself up and came back...Breathed the fresh air told myself buck up and then got onto the rope and before I realized I was there down with my friends....the 5-6 mins of pulling myself down was something which I will never forget.

With another adventure story tucked under my cap, got back to the resort and then after a good breakfast and a equally excellent lunch, came back home to break my sleeping record, I slept for 14 hours at a stretch...Could not believe myself, but I did it.

Here again to face a crazy week :)
