Where : Club cabana, Doddaballapur
Who : Multimedia team of software dept., KWI
Yupppiiee !!!! The first reaction by all of our team members when we heard 'Outing'. It had been a long time the team had been for an (official) outing, n that too for a full day somewhere totally out of reach from office. After some thoughts, we zeroed on club cabana. Thanks to KWI, I had been to several resorts in and around Bengaluru. But club cabana was the one I hadn't been n wanting to go for since I heard good things about it. We planned and started on time !! had breakfast at Adyar Anand Bhavan. I had idli vada and the taste was good. The hotel as known is very clean too. Had lots of fun on the way to club ... antakshari, jokes, irritating lines / tracks, etc., Finally when we went there n had a look at the facilities, it was really worth going there. I played tennis for the first time in my life and tell u man the tennis racket is too heavy !! Had lot of running more than playing . Then played shuttle cork. Had a try at billiards n it was much better than my first try @ Eagleton. Felt like I can play :-). Played till I got bored n then went for lunch. Lunch was good with variety of items. Post lunch was the main attraction ... bowlingggg !!!!! The game I was waiting for. Was bit now happy when came to know that corporate pacakges allow for only 5 rounds instead of 10 :-(. Nevertheless we had lots of fun playing it and everybody enjoyed it. I came out with highest score :-). At that moment itself some of us decided we will play another round of bowling even if we have to pay for it! Good part of paid game is it gives 10 rounds of play. After that we had water games. Water games were good including waves, lazy river, couple of rides n spa. We then dressed up n had hi tea. In no time after tea we rushed to bowling. After waiting for 20 mins we finally our chance to play 10 rounds. We played it with full josh. And this time again I walked out with highest score :-). It was time to wind up n be back home. We had equally good fun coming back home in the vehicle with the same things ... antakshari, jokes, irritating tracks.All in all a good day to spend outside office. will upload photos soon.
My take on club cabana
Facilities : Good
Food : ~Good
Games : can keep u whole day busy
Would like to : have complete 10 rounds of bowling

'KWI'NNOVATE
When : 7th March, '08
Where : where else .... at KWI (Kyocera Wireless India) campus
WOW !!! This was the first reaction by anyone @ KWI on this day. What a day it had been in the history of KWI ... a first of its kind, the tech fest !! I had read n heard about this in other companies, but probably this happening in our own company made me realize the unexpreessable levels of energy, enthu, creativity, thinking we exhibited. It was truly a memorable day to every employee. We had a lot of programmes on that day including quiz, idea showcase and ending with a well fought debate. The idea showcase was a full day event with each of groups like software, testing, hardware, industrial design, etc., setup a stall to exhibit their ideas. Star attraction of these was ofcourse the biggest of all stalls, the 'Design contest' stall. 'Design contest' was a unique initiative where team comprised from different departments expressed their idea through a concept phone. Believe it or not these concept phones were totally different and I bet you won't find any of such design in the market !! I doubt if anyone have even thought of such phone models. Not just the phone model, but even the software got a face lift right from convinience to luxury. The day turned out to be an idea library all of which if taken to real life will keep us busy for atleast few years.Another good thing to add here .... I participated with my idea in software stall and know what our stall bagged the 1st prize !! hurray !!!!!
