Minfy Utsav 2010
March 11,2010. Time 4.55 pm.
Closed all applications. Ctrl+Alt+Del = Yeah done for the day.
Got the 5 pm bus to go to the Nethra DC. Yeah thats the new office of Mangalore. SEZ...where most of us dread to go. Well the thing is Mangalore STP folks are used to the pampering :) Most of us live 10-20 mins walking distance from the old office. So we treat it like our second home. But today I wanted to visit the dreaded office building.
And voila! A new replica of the big Infy campus unfolds as the bus halts after an almost hour's drive. It can be spotted right on a hill-top surrounded by the true Mangalore greenery all over. Well at least humidity level seemed to be low there!
For a person who's born and brought up in the Mangala DC, this was quite a treat to watch. Our office seemed to be a miniature model now.
The Food Court can put several hotels to shame. Its large, magnificent and pompous. Yeah whatever that means! The best view is the horizon there. It was a treat to watch the sunset.
Oh, by the way, the reason for being there in the first place was the Minfy Utsav 2010. It was fun. Aasma the second [V] band was there to perform. Loved their "Chandu ke Chacha" number. Vasudha Sharma, Neeti Mohan, Sangeet Haldipur and Jimmy Felix rocked the stage. They did have some trouble with the sound system. More than hearing them sing, I could hear "Please increase the vocals on the monitors"!!
Well for people like me that would mean some hardware techie crap! But otherwise enjoyed it. There was a dance troupe as well. Obviously from Mangalore. You must know Manglore is famed for producing some bollywood beauties and great dancers. So this troupe - Bhargavi Dance Troupe is a group of 4-5 girls all from same family!
Their dance numbers on Choti si Aasha, Mohabattein theme and few others rocked the stage, more for their grace, flexibility and elegance. It was a treat to watch those talented lot.
The evening winded with a dinner and another hour's journey back home! Well, must say, Nethra DC no doubt is all yo and good with lots of young energy. But home is home:) Mangala STP rocks! All in all, Minfy did have another "happening" day.
