Last week I travelled to Hyderabad and Indore for the First two launches
On 9th and 11th.
We ( Crop Lead Sandip, Shripad Patil and myself ) left for Hyderabad on Monday afternoon.
Before that had gone to office after a gap of one month.
Nice catching up with colleagues , two of whom have now out in their papers.
Reached Airport well in time and had a hour long wait for baggage and security. A funny thing at security is that one has to remove his belt and since I have recently lost weight (yes I have ).
Went to the Lounge and had some grub before joining my copassengers
The flight was on time and soon at 6pm reached Hyderabad Hot Abode.
After checking in .. called up my friends Sarah who had invited me and Other friends for a dinner at her newly redeveloped home.
It was nice catching up with her, Padmawati and Vanita with their husbands. Where 43 years had gone was a mystery !
After dinner Sarah and Sukumar dropped me at the hotel.
I was tired and fell asleep almost instantly as I was chanting.
Next day we had breakfast and went to Hyderabad office .
Sushma had reached earlier ( taking a 6am flight from Chennai).
I was seeing her and meeting her for the first time in 2022.
Happens I presume.
Initially a bit occupied soon we moved into working mode .. attending the Sales meet , a first after eons of time.
This was followed by the Launch program agenda , the brand endorsements which were at office were taken to the hotel and the overall decorations were looked into.
Shripad, Sushma , Sandip and Yousuf took charge and the hall was ready.
The seniors started trickling in.
We went back to office as Tarique was coming there and he had some thing to discuss with me.
He had a meeting with a Nursary consultant and a call with MD.
The day seemed never ending..
In between Ajai Gaur (National Manager Sales) had also come and caught up with him too but his regressive thought process made me cringe.
Finally we were on our way to hotel .
All were visibly tired.
At the hotel freshened up and went for dinner.
That was another funny ordeal..
Possibly another day.
Along with the launch.
Hope hearing part one of the journey was interesting and would look ahead to part 2.. soon.
