Hi everyone

Just a little recap of our Mother Dairy Visit today. Not all of us were there but i believe that 1/3rd of the batch was. It started around 8.00 A.M. with quite a few sleepy faces who were also sleeping in the Bus on the way to Mother Dairy(atleast for half the journey). Around half of the bus was still active in the morning and they eventually got the bus involved with a game of antakshri. Ofcourse one team (the people sitting upfront) were not as vociferous as compared to their peers sitting at the rear end. We reached MD in the course of this antakshri and had a good time there. especially with the AC on when the movie was playing (zzzz) and also with various parts of the dairy. The movie ended with some CP or DCP even when there were no Class Participation Marks.
Some of us actually wanted to climb the milk containers and probably wanted to peep into it. Then came the refreshments part of the Visit at Mother Dairy and that was the milk offered and sharma is the current record holder(i think) with 11 glasses of milk. And ofcourse everyone enjoyed the ice-creams as well. And we were back in the bus for the return journey.

It started with Arvind singing two beautiful hindi songs for us. He should be encouraged to sing more often. After that people were specifically asked to sing songs for the bus a few notable singers -
Swati, Pushkar, Amrit, Pochu, Khemka. Quite an active participation from the rest of the bus a few notables Saurabh G. , the other Saurabh , and Stayajit Gandhi.

There were a few dedications specially for Raj(two songs dedicated), Ruchika (one song dedicated), Some dedications to the quizzes and ..... . And for the rest of the journey almost all the bus was singing except for one or teo sleepy faces here and there. Again leading the Change Masters in their efforts were Soumaya, Amit Sharma, and Abhishek Kanodia

(who knows all the lyrics of all the songs). Their was shayari though not always good by khemka. It ended with a few songs that i cannot recall after entering MDI and some shayari. I think i will end here and sorry if i have missed something.

Looking forward to the next Industrial Visit.

Apart from what Sandeep has to say, One thing I enjoyed most about Mother Diary visit was the advert jingle... "Doodh Dhoodh"... The tag line. It was played for us after the introductory presentation on Mother Diary was over. Everyone (about 40 of us) forgot our ages and sang along with the advert. It was AMAZING experience.

I would try to find out the lyrics somewhere and post em here.

P.S.: When coming back, I was sleeping ;)
