Hungama Offsite Team Building!! - Bangkok and Pattaya - the introduction!!

Once upon a time.. in a land Far Far Away... (sounds like the start to Shrek... heheh) lets rephrase it!!

Once upon a time.. in a land called Mumbai, was a company called Virtual Marketing.. pyar se log use Hungama kehte hai... the big bosses decided the team needed some building and bonding so HRs KRA for the quarter was a team building off site activity... Bangkok gets announced for the senior rankers and alibaug for the junior rankers..

Alibaug happened before and the baccha had a rocking time.. they ate, they drank, they danced, they enjoy and came back as the team they were...

So back to the main topic.. Bangkok team building!! approximately 75 people ended up going... the passports, visa stamping, the foreign currency... the bangkok shopping fever.. the anticipation to only fill bags while coming back and the hope to find out whats the team building offsite going to be like..

Coronation of MEET and ABHISHEK and 2 of the team leaders...
heheheh.. ! responsible guys sharing HRs responsibility to take care of Hungama team in terms of what daru, what size shirt, when to get to the airport, goodie bag etc etc etc.. with our guys in the core planning team, 1st hand info received big time!! whats the 4 day iternary, what can and cant be done, who got allocated which room, who got what room partner and who all are coming.. excel sheets on excel sheets were scrutinised and looked at minutely to analyse, deduce and interpret... hehe na.. the only analysis done was whose room becomes the daru ka adda and when do sessions end for fun to begin... thats it to the point.. kaam se matlab..

We at this point in time.. btw are not even close to leaving bombay to get the bangkok... cut the long story short.. 2 mails from HR saying u can leave at 430 to get to the airport at 9 and another saying the last mail was crap.. find your way to the airport, we left office at 530 and got home, then to the airport at 930pm..

as always apna gang was the last to checkin so got dispersed seats.. Meet and BD sitting together so we were assured of loud laughter at regular intervals..

Highlight of the trip... Indian Airlines flight to Bangkok.... Auntys service on the flight seemed not so compelling but who cared.. we wanted to just get to bangkok..
did i mention it was a 1230 flight which took off at 2.. so had a nice cramped aunty time on the flight...

so we were off to bangkok...

PS: no snaps taken.. people still not in the holiday mood!! no cameras out!!
