Office party @ Pivo Garten Mundhwa


When you work for an MNC and sweat it every single day, your company tries to give you some fun time with employee engagement activities. We had a dinner party recently for the entire team covering over 400 employees. Finding a venue, to getting all the permissions in place, finalizing the menu, security, parking, volunteers....a lot of efforts ho into the planning done by an amazing team who ensure every bit is taken care with utmost precision. 


This time the venue was "Pivo Garten" in Mundhwa, Pune. It is a beautiful place with indoor seating (on ground and first floor) all over looking the dance floor and a spacious outdoor seating with a big lawn. 
We got ready in office, navigated the peak evening traffic to reach the venue. They had a basket valet service available for parking the guest vehicles. Entry was managed by our volunteers and the venue staff which was smooth. We found ourselves an indoor table , had our conversations, rounds of pictures, snacks, drinks & laughter. Moved around the place meeting a lot of people and enjoying the time. 
My bestie was slated to get married the following morning. His sangeet was going on in another city of Maharashtra at the same time. Another friend who has reached there showed me the event on video call. I was having the best of both worlds at the same time with such sweet people around as friends and colleagues as well.
The DJ ofcourse was playing loud music, so I stepped aside and made use of the sprawling green lawn to view the sangeet performances with the party vibe still in the background. 


The sangeet performances got over. Meet some more colleagues for chit chat and had dinner. Later shook a leg with some seniors while they were about to leave. Some more pictures, a little bit of fun and it was time to leave after another fun party. 🎉

After a long wait, my brother finally agreed to get married. The final one from our generation!! The engagement ceremony took place in Delhi with happy faces from both the sides joining the fun and frolic.  My kids' school was ongoing but this was important too. We took a leave and flew to Delhi from Pune. Indigo was caught in an issue related to their staffing model which had badly impacted majority of flights. By the day my flight was scheduled, luckily the issues had resolved and operations were normalised. We reached my brother's place in Gurugram around noon on Thursday. My sister has already arrived with her family the previous day. We all met each other , more for the kids who were meeting after a gap of a few years now. Ma brewed some masala tea for me while we freshened up before settling down for a delicious lunch of kulche chhole. Some of us caught up on some sleep before the mehndi artists arrived.  3 artists took around 3 hours ...

Friday, 28th Nov was my best buddy's wedding in Chhatrapati Shambhaji Nagar (previously called Aurangabad). The groom is from Karnataka and the bride from Maharashtra.  We are a group of 3 close knit friends who worked together a few years back and that turned us into buddies beyond the workplace.  The 2 of us still work in the same campus(but for different employees) while the third one is based abroad. The friend from abroad showed up on Thursday night for the sangeet function. She was kind enough to make me a part of the celebrations through video call while I was already in an office party. Reaching home from the party and packing my bag, we got on a late night call to discuss the next day. I started my travel at 2am and she went off to sleep. It took us (me n my husband) less than 5 hours to reach out destination. She was still in her dreams when I disrupted her by another phone call to open the door 😂 we were so glad to see each other after such a long time....
