Goa was delicious!
When Farheen wrote Fun @ One97, mentioning our forthcoming Goa trip, all of us only knew a Goa trip was coming up. But none of us who went to Goa had any idea how much fun this fun would turn out to be, until we lived every minute of it!
Goa, a dream, which comes true for some lucky ones like us! All thanks to the fantastic spirit of One97. If the company believes in working hard, it leaves no stone unturned in partying equally hard. Whatever trips we have been on so far in the last few years — be it rafting in Rishikesh, or adventure at Shoghi in Himachal — the office has subsidized them, most of the times 50% or even more of the cost, enabling more and more of us to participate.
Goa was something else: Dad of all trips!! About 60 of us went together. We flew from Delhi on the 9th October morning and back to Delhi on 12th night, stayed at a hotel for all those 4 days and 3 nights, with food and even a boat cruise up the Mandovi thrown in. For many of us this trip symbolized many firsts: Some flew for the first time in their lives; some saw a disco for the first time, and most of us were stepping on the “holy” soil of Goa for the first time!
What a trip punctuated with laughter all along! We moved in groups in two hired small buses and several cars, and had every ounce of fun that was possible. We frolicked at the beaches, sat talking in coffee shops till the first light of the morning, danced in bathroom slippers till the discos closed, danced to live music being played at a restaurant while sitting, among many more crazy things. The only one thing people did not do over this trip was to sleep enough. But no one was complaining. See pics here.
When we got back to work after this trip, despite the Goa-hangover, it was all full-steam at work back again. Oh, what a happy ending… or only a pause until we go somewhere again?
