Finally Gratuity after 14+ yrs of work:)

Completed my first ever 6 year stint in a company [Aditi Technologies]. However, the 6th year completion was during my notice period in Aditi. 

New Year @ 314

The new year celebrations was @314 with selective guests. Biju being bachelor was default guest & Manoj + Tressa happily joined.

Cake was from Creme shop, which was soooper crowded for new year cakes. Had to place order and go back @11:30 PM to pick up the cake.  

Siddharth did the honors of cutting cake @12 AM, while everyone cherished and welcomed the new year. Folks stayed back @314 only to get up at 5 AM and drive back home. 

Jingle bell....by KK the Santa

This year the Christmas celebration were @ Manoj house. All Softnest folks reached there, and for a change i dressed like a Santa giving everyone surprise

All kids enjoyed and had fun - after all I was the Santa distributing gifts to make them happy ;)

Softnest Get2gether

Softnest get together after 6 months!!! This time it was Manoj who initiated... 3 days and the plan was done... everyone was meeting at 'The Royal Orchids' near Jakkur. A full day outing (12 PM - 10 PM)!

People started coming in slowly while the lunch was already set. As usual Manoj retained the record of coming late. This time Captain was missing and Aji etan was present. Surprisingly we did not have any missing softnest folks due to availability (except Captain due to location issues).

Post lunch everyone went for some sports and fun (baddy & TT).

Then it was time for swimming and some games.....

...followed by some drinks & dinner to cover up for the cold weather (rains:))

Jisha birthday

It was Jisha's birthday. Mee bought a cake from Cake Walk and and came to my office with Sid. We went to Jalahalli and met Jisha at Rockclimb mall.

We cut the cake at the food court of the mall (which was empty as it was yet to open). It was good to throw the party as she felt alone and was happy to see us come with cake. On way back went to her uncles place and also to Bhaia's place.

Had dinner at Bhaia place and came back. 

Drive to Krishniagiri

We planned drive to Krishnagiri for morning breakfast. Pawan and DK also pooled in for the drive. It was nice rainy climate and we reached there around 9:50 AM. By 10 AM most of the breakfast things were almost over. Fortunately we could get what we wanted for 1st round. By second round most of the items were over (Masala Dosa, Vada etc).

It is best to go before 9 AM so that we have all the food available. 

Back to Adidas

Bought Adidas shoes (after Nike for last cycle). Planning to use only for wooden court play - and see how long it lasts.

Cost - Rs. 3999/-
