Kerala - "Industrial Visit"

Sunday 6 January 2008

I never thought I would put up a posting of the “Industrial Visit’ to Kerala as I felt I wouldn’t be able to do justice to the trip, as there was so much to write about and too long tends to get boring at times. But since I was forced to write about the trip, here I am trying to put down a few things that happened on that trip.

Day: 24th November, 2007.
Place: Munnar

Well, when it comes to writing about those days, I just can’t help but smile remembering all the things that happened over the time we were there.
Before I start writing further I have to mention watching Mallu music videos which were as good as semi-porn. Imagine watching similar videos for every song (which of course we didn’t understand), with a horny girl or a guy, rainfall, 'pe-cock' white-wet saree etc..... Boy!!!! Didn’t we laugh our asses out that day, or at least that’s what we thought (lol)
Another great thing about the stay at Munnar was the football games between the ty's and the fy's. We kicked butt that day. Go fy's. The ty's lost 12-4 against us.
Further, it gets better, you know how when people get drunk they act stupid, we had one of those days as well. With most of us drunk and dim, that day was a complete entertainer. Some trying to stand up straight, some others quoting 'I am a duck', some who start puking the moment some alcohol went into their bellies, while some others capturing the whole scene on video just for the fun of it.

Apart from this, I havnt even mentioned the petty hilarious incidents, like when Prerna, Vaidehi, Kanchan, Rash, and I were at the gate, and Kanchan was tryin to prove how brave she was by walkin from there to the building all alone, while she was at it someone yelled 'look left', she howled and started crying just by looking at a flower, the brave woman that she's turned out to be, hehehe.

Day: 26th November, 2007.
Place: Kottayam

Despite Kottayam being a fucked-up place, it was quite enjoyable for us guys. To begin with all of us sat in the balcony, singing old hindi songs in a unison backed by some wonderful ‘late’ music by none other than our dearest Mahesh. ;)

Hahahahhaahahahahahha.... This was what we (B, M, Mahesh, Rash and Me) did for nearly four hours that day after we were done with the singing. Curious to know the reason for us laughing our asses out??? Well so are we, simply for the fact that there were none. There were times when we started laughing just by seeing each other's faces. We laughed to the extent till our eyes started watering, stomach's started aching and we rolled off our beds. WE WERE NOT STONED OR DRUNK WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

Day: 27th November, 2007.
Place: Cochin

The last day of our ‘industrial visit’, an eventful day it turned out to be, starting with the ty’s fucking the tour guide Mahesh’s case for improper accommodation. He looked so terrified at that point of time, mahn!!! The expression on his face was worth a look. They protested for nearly two hours, sat at the reception, not ready to go to their respective rooms till appropriate accommodation was given to them. The Hoteliers had to put their hands down against of their remarkable unity. Hats off to you guys!!!

After we settled into our respective rooms, later in the night, there was this huge argument, which I am sure none of us are ever going to forget, concerning the video that was shot in Munnar. Apparently the content of the video was ‘offensive’ and hence was deleted without prior permission. The video was supposed to be edited and sent to desimad, but since it was deleted, it ignited a lot of anger in quite some people, and the story doesn’t end there, there were roomers about some ‘offensive’ pics being clicked of someone from one of our camera’s, this was something which added fuel to our anger. While all of this was happening it was the ty’s to the rescue, they were the one’s who calmed us down and helped us understand how dull the whole issue was. This whole matter was finally sorted out by none other than our coordinator, Shivani Madame the following day.

.

Aside from the time we spent at the hotel's the bus is definately worth a mention if i am write about the trip. Despite us spending almost 5-6 hrs of each day in the bus, leaving aside the tiring aspect, it was fun, watchin people sleep with their mouth wide open and stuff some banana chips, which they would realise only after a while. Singing songs, eating and sleeping were the major ways of time pass for us (I think Prerna will agree with me about sleeping as Tp).

I still feel i havnt done justice to the trip as a whole since there is so much more to write about, but to conclude it was simply an amazing trip, and the amount of fun we had was unlimited. The whole trip brought to light a lot of facts which remained in the dark earlier. Overall, to terminate, the first industrial visit of the course couldn’t have been better.
