Off-sites trainings are fun and this is my second off-site training camp in People Interactive within six months.

Since the day I am introduced to you I wished you missed your date with new week. But you come week after week without fail. Wonder why don’t you go on sick leave or take a casual leave.   But then on second thought, If you don’t come the life would not move.  There will be no office and no work.
