Goanese experience
Balaji won the star award this year and we got an all expenses paid trip to Goa for 2 days at Ramada inn, Caravela resort. Kids were not allowed, so it was kind of a second honeymoon for the star awardees and their spouses.
Some highlights
All the men had good eye candy what with gorgeous goanese girls in skimpy costumes welcomed by garlanding us with shell necklaces at the airport.
Great welcome by Syntel at the resort. The whole thing was done in style with chilled wine, cashews, t-shirts and caps in the room, which was a great surprise.(Unfortunately,Ganesh from Chennai didn’t have the goodies in his room because of some confusion which he found out only when we had to board for our return trip.)
There was a carnival with some guy dressed as king momo and some skimpily clad girls (again!)and some belly dancing on the first day.
Ritesh Gautam was adjudged as having the sexiest pair of legs and given a prize.
The awards function was amazing with performance from Leslie Lewis (Colonial Cousins) and a mini fashion show with the four top guys of Syntel, Keshav, Murli , Nitin and Shrikanth.(All of whom so did not look like models, but it was great fun.)
Now for Revathi’s Star Awards:
Most Romantic husband: Senthil Kanakaraj invited his wife onstage and let her get the award. Also, he got a prize for the gentleman who carried his wife first near the compeer.
My husband gets the second prize as the most romantic as he gave me a rose which a dancer threw at him.
Most Unromantic husband: Rajesh Chandran, who didn’t get his wife food at the airport when she was hungry.
Most clueless: Ganesh, even though he saw lots of people wearing syntel star t-shirts assumed that it was for the bombaywalas and not for Chennai people.
Most grace under pressure: Again Ganesh and his wife, though they missed the goodies were sportive enough to joke about it.
Most unforgettable person: Rajesh Chandran’s wife, for the reason she shares the same name with my daughter, Maya.
Most Lovely sarees: Mr. Saravanan’s wife.
Most horrible airhostesses: Indian Airlines, some even looked senile. Balaji quipped that he could tolerate aunties, but these were paatties.
Most pathetic lost-her-husband at the airport wife: Myself, because Balaji put the wine in our cabin baggage and was forced to go check it in, while I looked like ‘Roja’ Madhubala searching for her husband.
Most insulting remark: At the airport when I asked where my husband was, the security said in a loud voice for the whole world to hear that he was carrying alcohol. I felt like I was arrack dealer Muniyandi’s wife.
Most uncomfortable ride: When myself, Balaji and Saravanan all on the wrong side of the weighing scale squeezed in one auto and let the three thin people Rajesh, his wife and Saravanan’s wife ride in another auto comfortably.
Good Samaritan got into trouble award: Rajesh Chandran, who ran to give Balaji his boarding pass outside the airport, but since he had forgotten his own in his enthusiasm was asked by the security to go out of the airport.
Disclaimer: This is all written in fun, so hopefully no one will take offense.

That was too good of a description, specially the Revathis "Most Insulting Moment" award....
Kodai can noway be compared to Goa, but hope that we can have a get time together again.....
Thank you so much, ashish, but don't compare the two. I am sure we will have a great time at kodai,just like yelagiri.It is the company and fun that matters, not the place.I think you guys are amazing to take such initiative and keep updating us with mail.In fact I should have conferred a most confused award to you for getting blank smses from me.
Ya your blank SMSes were scary in the beginning (as I didnt store your number), but now I guess I have got used to it.....
Hi Revathi
Thankyou very much for calling up and wishing the other day.
I am doing pretty good here.
How about you?
Regards
Ashish
