Dance for Dandia!!

Thats me with Kartik and Brian, showing my dandia skills.

Ujjyini was my teacher. She showed me how to play dandia and made sure I did it right.

Garbha skills on the show!!

It was an experience! First trying to learn how to play and then playing with people who have been doing this since years. Yea, I got thrown out couple of times by disturbing their rythm but I guess I managed to get the rythm right. But it was too late. By the time I learned everyone started leaving.

All n All it was fun.. would love to do this again.

Decked up for Dashera!!

Lady in RED! Yea that’s Pallavi if you recognize her from the Pragathi resorts pictures. She was looking beautiful in red sari. Pallavi you ROCK! I am sure most of you will agree with me..
Mix of all colors, shades, moods, talents, cultures Yea I am referring to my Team. Everyone is unique with their own style of working which adds a different flavor to the team. But DJ is my all time Hero!! (DJ stands for Dharamjeet Jignesh… he is standing 1st in the front row in a black shirt)

We celebrated Dashera in all its colors and everyone dressed up to the occasion and Google colors were very much visible in the team. Sunday I am going to learn how to play Dandia and couple of my friends assured that it’s easy to learn and perform. So I am gonna try my luck and obviously you will get to see the pictures.

Fantablous Weekend @ Pragathi

This picture above shows a panoramic view of Pragathi Resorts which is about 40-55 Kms away from city. Awesome picture check it out!


Sasi is trying hard to put some weight on and in this picture Ujjyini has no idea that she is being shot.


(Starting left) Ganga is either busy with her skirt or the phone, Only God can help her. Buch-Buch is a SPORT... It was her first day with our group but she mixed up well and we had fun too. Here is our own Pallavi.. scared of water but couldn't resist the fun.


Sunny and I had fun with the tube. Throwing people in water was FUN! what say you Sunny boy!



Actually it was not on a weekend but on Monday. It was fun. 3 hours in the water swimming, diving, sliding, volleyball..... we sure missed everyone who couldn't make it to the resort but there is always a next time.
Checkout pragathi resort guys its fun.
