A Quick visit...

We were squeezed by exams last week!! Huh! Hectic! Alas, twas all over.
Immediately after dat, we were informed to get ourselves equipped for a "Quick Visit" to ASHOK LEYLAND (Ennore), without any prior notice. Huh!
Dat was totally against 'will'. None of us were interested, initially. We people were in a mood to hit our beds for a good rest, after a series of mind-corrupting assessments. But twas the other way.

We'd a tiresome 1.5 hr travel to ennore, and were taken in. Hm... The hot air & dust in the pathway (we walked along) between the running machines, made us sick.
But it all changed, and our minds tried to listen to a GUIDE(mind u! He was younger to us, but the way he explained the proceesses going on, really deserved credit), who explained the assembly of a LORRY pretty hastily.
Hm... Twas a gud. ASHOK LEYLAND (Ennore) sends 135 lorries out (fully assembled), a day, it seems!! Great!!
The assembling processes were pretty quick to comprehend, coz, they were all done by experienced labour, with advanced machines.
But we, atleast, got something into our head, for sure.
A good one!

An "Industrial" Visit, May be not!!

Huh! T's alwayz gud to be in groups, where u can banish loneliness!!
Yup. Our "Industrial visit" to KERALA was awesomely superb. The climate just rocks. Some 75 of my colleagues and I had been there for some 4 dayz, on an "OFFICIAL INDUSTRIAL" visit. Those 4 dayz were really enthralling!! We were full of vim and vigour. The stay, the travel, the accomodation, everything was superb! We'd a very gud time there at KERALA.
But we missed out quiet a lotta places!! But the places we visited were simply gr8!

The boating at Cochin (a two-hour marine drive in a very comfortable 125 seater "palace on waters") was as gud as being at leisure in a Swiss beach. The Kochi breeze across the oceans was just too gud (too poetical huh!! anywayz!).

Athirappilly falls (which was not in our itinerary, & was a sudden plan) was cherishable. U must not miss dat, if u r planning for a trip to KERALA. The place had a very cool and non-chalant atmosphere, dat really rocked!! And we'd a fortune of seeing BOOMIKA (in close proximity), who was desperately practising a step for a dance in her next telugu film, perhaps!!

Then comes MUNNAR, a very pleasant hill station... We spent a day and a half there. Had a very gud time. Twas a initially cool.. But, u can easily get set to those conditions. There we toured Rajamalai hills (damn good place, don miss it!!), A Dam, a national park... All were gud!
We'd a camp-fire at night dat included fun, fun and only fun.

Then we'd been to VEEGA LAND (water-theme park). A superb place. It's been built at an elevated place. T's cool, well maintained. Very clean! Had hell lotsa entertainemnt there!

This visit's one of my most cherishable ones!!
