Tech Retreat

I think, almost all Indian kids are brought up with extravagance conveniences. Indian kids are the most spoiled kids, I have ever seen. Parents would do unnecessary night out, if the kid has to study all night long. And even make breakfast and lunch ready for them. In short, all they have to do is study, and in return everything is done or made available for them. They would enjoy the most relaxed life. Well, this post is not about bashing the way Indian kids are brought up. I just wanted to draw similarities the way I spent my last week.

I exploited my last week at ‘Tech Retreat’ held by my company at ‘Alisal Ranch’ in Solvang. And once again, I got the feeling of being spoiled. The resort was awesome, the facilities provided was more than expected. Everything was available at your fingertips and all you had to do was - have fun. Its breakfast or lunch everything was made ready for us. Three days of tech retreat were rejoicing, thrilling and relaxing. And I did got chance to try my hands out at Golfing, Canoeing, Horse back riding, Archery, Hiking and Biking, in addition to having an executive suite to stay, and all expenses incurred were paid off. Also, to double up the delight, I was being paid for having all these three days of ‘fun’. So that’s what I would say bringing up the employee’s as inspired by Indian parents. So, now who would not sweat out for the company like this?

Return from wilderness...

Yeah, finally I got sometime to write. Naah.. I was not ‘so much’ busy and neither was life at stand still, there was so much to offer and so much to hide. Life has been going through so much of changes that I could have easily written one page everyday. I knew that if I had to write, then it would be difficult on my part to be righteous about events to describe. Unresolved on what to opt, time fly by without any posts.

Still unresolved, here is the snapshot of time lost. Last month went by in bollywood style, enduring sense of all the emotions, which human kind knows. Excitement, Thrill, Challenge, Dream, Conundrum, Aloofness, Sentiment, Attitude all box packed into one.

Never imagined life bringing so much of variety in jiffy. And everything has changed in past month - habitat, environment, lifestyle, priorities, people and relations. Never wondered life can spin topsy-turvy so quickly. Yes, I know changes are inevitable, and one has to adapt.
