Shatabdi Express......A Fantastic Train Journey..

When we talk about our train services in India, we always assume that India railways are biggest (although actually second after the same of China) and the dirtiest. But folks, I traveled by Shatabdi Express from Chennai to Mysuru very recently and experienced a wow service by the people and the facilities.

The coach we were in was EC and it was sparkling clean. The coach waiter was always attentive and polite, which you may not expect from a train service. The Train was on time perfectly and it maintained the same when we had the returned journey by the same train.

Timely service of meals was also commendable. Extreme hygienic aspects were demonstrated by the waiters, we were delighted to see that and was surprise too.

I can definitely say that Indian Railways have improved a lot.

Without finding faults in railway services, we started taking benefits of the journey by looking outside the glass and getting overwhelmed by the nature's creations as and when we were passing by the green fields and hills.

Accor Hotels HR & Trainer's Meet - Day 04

It was the last day of our Annual Meet and we were in sad mood, because we had to return back to our respective hotels. The meet provided us to mingle with each other, to know and get interacted with one another. We spent three days very sporty way. ON the last day we were in hurry to complete our conference.  A very important topic was discussed on the day by L&D Head-Accor India, it was on Emotional Intelligence. We were provided with many insights, which are required for the HR professionals like us.

We traveled back to our respective hotels by midday....

Halloween Theme Dinner at GMM

On our 3rd day of Meet, we had a theme dinner. The theme was of Halloween concept, the entire dinning area including its pre-function areas were converted as scary cave and ghosts.

We loved the concept and enjoyed the theme to extreme. In the middle of the scary cave theme there was DJ dance stage, which we utilized to the core.

We were prompted to do the face painting to ghost masks as suitable to faces. It was lovely and scary too...

Here are some pictures of the moments...

Shivasamudram Waterfall in Karnataka

In a small city of Mandya District of Karnataka State, Shivasamudram is situated on the bank of Cauvery River. It has two waterfalls, one is Gaganachukki and another is Barachukki water falls. We went to Gaganachukki waterfalls with our teams, although I had already been there for two times earlier but it was almost six years back.

There has been lot of changes visible over there in terms of safety and cleanliness of the surrounding areas. 

But the water fall was as is it with its beautiful white long hair type flow. I have heard that many movie scenes are shot there. However we spent almost an hour there and many photo sessions.  

One must be very careful in terms of safety at the place as it is very dangerous by look when you are leaning on the railing of its boundary..

On the 3rd day of our meet, we did not have any conference to attend, rather it was planned for us to spent the day on Team Building activities at outdoor. We were taken to wildflower resort, which is almost 6 kms away from our hotel. 

We found there a group of people were waiting for us, eventually we came to know that they are the activities coordinator for the day. 

We were divided into four teams and the activities started. The activities were very sporty with fun elements. 

We were served the lunch over there, followed by which we traveled to Shivanasamudra waterfalls , a beautiful place to see and at the end of the day we returned back to the hotel.
