So finally I got a well deserved break from the daily routine with a long pending family vaccation. My Wify always wanted to see some snow clad mountains and I wanted to go on some adventure holiday. And we discovered a perfect mix in the Land of Lamas-Leh. I have done some goggling before packing our bags for the leh. Few useful tips based on suggestions and personal experiences: a) Leh is on high altitude and really high So you are bound to suffer from high altitude sickness.

Trip to Vaishno Devi
I am back in Delhi after a three day trip to Vaishno Devi. The trip was thought and planned a month ag0, But all my planning failed (2 set of cancelled train and hotel bookings) and like every time we were rushing to catch the bus. whatever… The journey and the destination was worth the effort. It was such a nice weather all through the journey. Everytime I visit the place I seems to be discovering something new and mystical. By the way in a rare occurence (at least for me) I was fortunate to visit the Ardhakuwari temple and the...
Product offsite at Karjat (Mumbai)
Off-sites trainings are fun and this is my second off-site training camp in People Interactive within six months. Now this is advantage of managing multiple portfolios and slogging.

The weather was awesome and it almost rained for our entire stay at karjat. We had a training, presentations, Jam session, treasure hunt all squeezed within two short days. We were literally awake...
One Night @ terminal
My fascination for the city Kolkata ended as soon as I found myself struck in an unusual Traffic jam to airport. A normal route of 30 min took me close to two hours. And for the first time in my life I missed the flight. Now that’s a bizarre feeling of helplessness. It took me another 30 mins to convince the duty manager that in all my good intention I never wanted to miss the flight. Fortunately I managed a ticket in the first flight out which was next day morning @ 7:00 AM So I was there at...
Food @ 29000 ft
After a usual delay of 2 hours I took off to Kolkata (City of Joy). By now you would have realized how much I hate air travel. This time I am traveling Jet Air, which is one of the finest airlines. Thanks to web check in facility, I managed a first row seat in economy class (Advantage to spread your legs and relax a bit). So I felt like being from upper middle class where all the middle class cramped in their seats. And like all upper middle class who are aspirant to become upper class (Business Class...
Fun @ work – Offsite to Daman
Fun @ work takes a new dimension when People Group engineering team has strolled out for the picnic last week. The gyaan sessions seemed to be the coolest thing around.

And we end the day with jump in the pool and late night cricket. Day 2: We headed...
