On 18th May 2013, I started my first official trip to Rishikesh with colleagues with return on Monday 20th May 2013. Exhilaration and imaginative thrill of river rafting at Rishikesh was high on my mind, as I reached office on Saturday 2200 Hrs to board the A/C bus. On reaching office, I caught up with my 9 colleagues of the content team. While Varun Verma and Gaurav Roy were busy with their favorite alcohol drinks, Leena, Ranjeeta, Sachin Singh, Shrikanth, Rohit Thapa, Krishnendu Chaterjee and Ajit were all roaming here and there or resting (at least trying to). There were 2 buses scheduled to leave office by 2330 Hrs. or 0000 Hrs. but the time made us wait more. Finally the buses arrived and all the 90 members settled in the two buses. The journey to the challenging recreational activity - river rafting in Rishikesh began at around 0130 Hrs. in the morning. During the travel, we watched Bollywood Movie Jolly LLB and I managed to catch a nap for 30 odd minutes. This small nap refreshed me enough to proceed ahead with the trip, without any headache. With regular stops for license checking, toll payment etc., we managed to reach Phoolchatti Resort at 1130 Hrs on 19th May 2013.
