Ello Chilly - Our first meeting

Hey! I can feel the raindrops on muh soul!!!!!!
9 AM !!! OMG !! I am going to be so late . Wonder why Alok kept the meeting so early? These thoughts did their usual rounds in my mind as I crossed the hustle bustle of the IT crowd at Holkar Bridge. Each step towards the office kept me apprehensive with thoughts of “will- it- happen ““how” and why. All my apprehensions were laid to rest as I walked into the conference hall and a bright good morning greeted me.
Meeting started with a bang. I could see Girish yawning (poor guy is not used to seeing the sun rise so early). Avdhut and Daksha came jogging in and so did Ajay. Host Alok did the job beautifully as he delivered the ideas as fast as he gathered them. At the end we had SPANDAN, right before our eyes. Smiling we embraced it with our heart and soul. Yes, we were on the road to salvation. We decided to meet once a week for a “Speak you heart out “session. This activity was aimed at people talking their heart out, and THEY DID at Yellow Chilies (a spontaneous khana peena program ). Roaring tumbling hungry stomach and the excitement of finally getting the reservation at Koregaon Park ‘s most talked about restaurant was just too much . We sat, filled our bellies with goodies and then started the whole session of venting out. That sure was a good session and off we went HI ! HO !. Everyone shared their experiences and fun happening of their life. SPANDAN was finally declare OPEN. Our first session was successful. It was drizzling as we chatted inside. Did I feel the raindrops on me? Goodness Gracious!! I could feel it in my soul. That’s one soulful beginning …….
