God's blessings - Life savers

We were in Kodaikanal during our year end vacation. After a long day(due to unexpected traffic and long traffic jams), we were returning back to our hotel. The route seemed un-familiar. We were on a secluded street and a sharp left turn had to be manoeuvred. On such long routes, he drives & I direct 😀
While turning, I felt the car couldn't turn through in one go and needs to be reversed for a full turn. He had his own judgement and thought the car could turn through. As he tried harder, there was a big dug up hole in the front covered with leaves. The front right tyre got lodged in the pit and now the tyre was in the air. At the same time, 2 men on a 2-wheeler happened to be passing by. They stopped and we requested for help. While they started to analyze the situation, another car stopped by. The driver came out to help. Everyone analyzed the situation from their perspectives. After thorough inspection, a large stone was searched and kept under the floating tyre to support it. The driver from the other car turned the steering around to align the direction of the tyre. After he was satisfied with the alignment, he got in and reversed the car with full force while the others pushed the bonet. The car came out successfully without any major damage except for the broken mud guard. We thanked everyone for their timely support. This was a huge indication that God is always around testing us and also helping us overcome the challenges in our lives!!

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...

Bhai ki sagai

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 ...

Bestie ki shaadi

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....
