You breathe every second of your life,
But the seconds that really count are the ones that take your breadth away…

That line makes so much more sense after a weekend like the last one….

Last weekend Team Applibase set out to spend a couple of days in Bandipur. Firstly special thanks to Anant… he got the booking done for us at Bandipur and without that we would have had a lot of probs wrt lodging(considering the Tiger Census and all).

The plan was simple… Go to Bandipur, enjoy Trekking and the Safari, Trek a mountain or two on the way back and be at Bangalore early monday morn. The execution was very different…

It took us a few mins to get registered and we had to wait almost 45 min before getting our turn. There were 3 starting points, we were on the right most one.

Applibase’s New Year Party

by

Applibase decided to celebrate the coming of the new year a couple of days in advance. In the evening of 30th Dec 2005 the (small) crowd assemebled in our conference room for the festivities… What we got was absolutely simply amazing.

Preethi and Asha were the perpetrators and the crime was giving us hours of fun. The plot involved getting us in the same room (something that is incredibly hard to achieve) and put us head to head in a tournament. The tournament involved skill, determination, hunger(I know u guys are laughing) and pain too.

Asha and Preethi were not a part of the competitors and that left just Pramod, Prasad, Theju, Shruthi, Anant, Vidya, Musavir, Varma and I. The draws were done before the start of each event and the first match was between Theju and Prasad
