The five table meeting was short and cordial.
Tablers ,Ladies & Twinklers started trickling in by 08 30 Pm- The first to arrive in full strength was ART 103 thanks to the initiative of Chairman George Thayyil;Ofcourse, He had promised only 8 heads initially, but as always he underprojected and overachieved, motivating even the AST to come in with full family.
GCRT 143 & TBRT 126, came in by 9.30 Pm, a little worn out after the longdrive- But soon picked up the spirits and went into high gear.
CNRT_20 had decided to come in with a weekend holiday fellowship in mind and had checked into the adjecent Riviera by noon; When 131-ers picked them up from the Railway station, they were already 2 litres down on the Vodka.
The music rendered live by the country specialists "Charles and Collin" made the mood of the evening; Slow and steady pace with the light breeze across the lawns.The Past National Projects convener Rajesh Ahuja(CNRT 20) stirred up a ruckus, with a well organised Anthakshari competition among the five tables.
131-ers had organised for a sweet cake cutting for Tr.Srijit & Deepa who were on to their 11th wedding anniversary ;Cake plattering as is customary in 131 followed, the chairman being showered with a full cake facial!!!!!
The party went on till 02:30 am; Altogether ,80 heads aprticipated in the NFD at kochi.
The fellowship at 131 actually extended upto 18th afternoon.
Waking up the CNRT 20 Tablers , 131-ers took them on a "visiting tablers day out " to Fortcochin on 18th Forenoon.
All had a gala time, and CNRT-ers agreed that their experience of "fishing" at the local market was quite unique, especially live catch; The tablers and ladies had a great time at the local kitchen were the fish was grilled and shared!
