Coffee Breaks!

Coffee breaks should never be taken lightly any more. Some astounding decisions could be made in these short coffee breaks....
It was an end- of - project scene in the office, and on the last day on the project, we all went to have coffee in our very own pantry. After today, the whole lot were to go on beach (what is called Bench in the IT world). "What do we do from tomorrow" - this was probably the most serious problems we had to address -- more than thinking of whether we were even going to get paid for our project ! Just then, one guy suggested, why dont we go to Mysore to have lunch! My goodness! That was a brilliant idea - or atleast all of us thought so. We just decided over 5 minutes, the plan was on, and we all did go to Mysore on Wednesday.
It was an amzing trip -- we stopped by every single eat-out on the way -- once for breakfast, once for coffee, once for sugarcane juice, once to buy toys at Channapatna, and finally we reached Mysore, had lunch and got back -- again stopping by at every other place which would serve anything to eat!. Whoever thought we cant take 5 hours to reach Mysore - given that the roads were awesome.
All was done, we all meet up at office the next day. At around 11.30, we again thought we should have a coffee break. Off we went to have coffee. Then again, a flash of brilliance -- How about going to Nandi Hills? There is no one to disagree. Life has never been so easy! Some 10 people agreeing on 1 thing!!
Off we went to Nandi Hills. Again did nothing but had lunch there -- this time we did not stop anywhere. It was a beautiful trip - amazing roads, good lunch, good weather and nonetheless a GREEEAAAT team.
Three Cheers to Coffee Breaks !!!

Starting

This is my second attempt in maintaining a blog. Its really as difficult for me to write as it is to read. Ive managed to go not more than 5 pages with nearly 20 books now -- but im still trying.
I hope to get better with this blog. But no promises.
