A day at 'Kadalmallai'

Yesterday we had an account level party at Sterling resorts, Mamallapuram. It was meant to be day of fun and frolic and it really was. The morning session went by playing Waterpolo, TT, Pool etc. After lunch, we settled for some indoor games at the 'Rajasimha' hall which was quite good. After face painting, clay modelling and mummification, our team Yellow Willows came out winners.

The evening was dominated by Cricket, Volleyball et al. Me and one of my project mates went for a stroll at the beach. I was particularly excited to see the erstwhile hidden 8th century temple recently exacavated by the ASI. May be one of the few positive aftermath of the Tsunami. As I walked in the beach I tried to visualize how this beach would have looked thousands of years before, when it was one of the greatest ports of the ancient Tamils, handling most of the asian trade. It would have been no less than the Chennai for the ancients.

We returned for DJ rock-n-roll and refreshments. I was tempted to shake legs but stood my ground. When I reached house it was half past nine. There is a chinese proverb which says 'You have to work so hard that you should be asleep before your head touches the pillow'. Perhaps we had partied harder to have me doze off even before I laid my bed.
