Meeting offline! May 9, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 5 commentsYeah, what do a bunch of MBA aspirants and B-School students of a huge online community do when they meet up offline - have clean unadulterated fun! LOL, thats exactly what we did when we, the PaGaLGuYs, met up yesterday at Essel World, a fun-theme park, in the peak of the summer!
I joined up with a couple of friends and headed to the park, almost a two-hour bus drive. I am not used to travelling too much, unless I am interviewing somewhere in the main city (I stay in outskirts of Mumbai!) and so a busride in early morning is real fun!! You get to see a lot of green surroundings that all miss your attention during other hours. Hey we reached Borivli and then enroute to the railway station, we had some oily breakfast, LOL, I will never lose weight. LOL! Then we caught up with a big gang on PGites and the first few minutes went in introducing & grinning at everyone! It really feels nice to see so many people wake up on a Sunday early morning & head out to meet a bunch of strangers! 
Then we went to Essel World. And many guys sat in the first ride which basically splashes a lot of water & gets you WET. Yeah, I didnt want another bath, so I let that pass! Next some of them tried different rides and I went on one of the least scariest things, a mini-rollercoaster that doesnt scare you but makes you laugh & laugh!! Some went in for a deadly ride which basically inverts you in mid-air!! Oh, catch me ever doing that!! No way!!
I chickened out of most of the deadly ones! LOL! I actually love all these rides and I remember, as a small child, I used to drive my dad into one of those things and as he would gasp for breath, I would constantly hold onto him & say, ‘Dont worry papa! Are u ok,papa?’ Haha, guess as you grow older, you have seen too much & dont want to risk much! Anyways, I am sure I will do all the rides soon.. I am no Chicken!! Bumping cars is fun, but its more fun on the roads, LOL!
Then we ended a great day and split up. I had stuffed myself so much with junkie food that I just wanted to get home & have a hot cup of coffee! Can you see our dear ‘Monsieur Green’ painted so well on that Tee - Yeah, that MG is our mascot!
