Oh, andha Team building plans kadaiseela eppadi mudinjadhu-nu naan sollave illaye...

The Saturday that we had planned for the outing and cancelled ended up as a beautiful day (kali kaalam, forecast kooda ozhunga poda mattenranunga). The following Monday, oru Maduraikara colleague came and excalaimed "Ennanga, ippadi ayiduchu, oru nalla day waste pantome-nu sema varutham-nga" (Thank you sonna adhe nakkal party dhan, I could see the smirk in his eyes) "Enna nakkal-a, ennamo neenga ellam appadiye sema enthu-va plan panna madhiri pesareenga?" "Chi chi, naama vena next week Sydney-la iruka murugan koviluku gumbala poi puliyodarai saptu thirumbi varalamanga?"..Grrrr, nakkal da unaku!

Naanum yosichen, indha resource manager-nra oru jeevan-ku, andha Friday mattum perusa "let's do it next week"-nu Lord madhiri mail pannome, next week follow panvom-nu edhavadhu thonicha? Correct-a oru masam kazhichu oru mail anuparar, adhuvum eppadi "team building"-nu subject-oda. Subject-la ippadi poturuke, edhavadhu plan panirukar-nu partha, body-la nakkal "we had an ambitious plan of team building, which turned out to be a damp squib (appadiye follow-up panni keechiteenga, kindal vera!) let's meet at Govinda's restaurant"-nu. Nalla poruthamana idamdhan, anga poi Team Building-ku Govinda potralam-nu naanum invitation accept panninten.

The date was last Wednesday, ellarum Wynyard Station-la meet pantu King's cross ponom, and went to this ISKCON's subsidiary hotel..saapadu was ok, and we were all talking when one of the girls started talking about one of the guys' Secret Santa name, how he contorted his face on seeing it, and what he bought as a present. I remarked and also prayed that I shouldnt be the person he got in his slip of paper, but vidhi yarai vittudhu, adhu kadaiseela naanedhan! (Avanuku enna pavam panen therila) Anyways, so andha saapadu saptutu, oorla iruka athanai PJ-vum kettutu the so-called Team Building ended with Banana splits and Chocolate Mousses and non-alcoholic wine. Ippadi oru team + ippadi oru manager indha naatuku thevaiya?
