We all boarded after breakfast from Edapally into the buses waiting as planned. Our journey to Munnar resembled the long-lost college trips, filled with songs, dances and ‘Antaksharis’. Finally, we reached our destination passing vast expanses of tea estates and dewy mountains.
Munnar is an exotic place with a breath-taking landscape and scenic spots. The chilly hill station stole our minds with its exotic flora and fauna. Our team stayed in a luxury resort: Mountain Club. The cottages chosen for us resembled the colonial architecture from the bygone era. The bedrooms were cosy, with a balcony open to the rustic surroundings.
The lunch was a luxurious affair that included starters to desserts. We used the mealtime to get to know more about each other. Then, we all attended the motivation speech by Sibu Varghese which was quite insightful, followed by an interactive session. Then, we interacted with and introduced each other. Personal interaction creates tight bonds and has an integral role in team building. We all broke the ice by sharing our stories and telling jokes. It was fun to get to know each other.
In the evening, we had a wild-theme based gala party, and all got dressed up in sync with the theme, ‘Just Go Wild’. It was fun to watch everyone from the Manager to the employees dressed up in the same theme. We had an exhilarating DJ party manned by Darryl Gaulbert which made us all shake a leg to the tune. We danced and roared to the music. It was indeed wild!
The following day after breakfast, we met our founder Indumon Das, who had a chat with us regarding the journey of Beinex and his vision. It inspired us all to have a dream and pursue it fearlessly. Some of us accessed the infinity pool late afternoon and had great fun swimming and playing pool ball.
It was a blissful evening based on an ethnic wear theme. We competed for the best ethnic outfit of the evening. The different hues and styles made the evening stunning. Everyone flaunted the traditional wear in style. We had a musical evening with a live barbeque and a sumptuous dinner.
Finally, the day of leaving Munnar dawned; March 19. We all had breakfast in the morning and packed our backpacks. Most of us were pretty reluctant to leave Munnar as we were not ready to lose the bond we created together. Nonetheless, we vowed to stay connected. We boarded the buses around 10 AM and waved goodbye to Munnar.
When we reached Edapally in the evening, a surprise goody bag was waiting. It was an impressive and admirable gesture from our firm. Beinex has a culture of nurturing growth and spreading positivity, and employees’ comfort is the priority here.
Yes, we had a fantastic time together. After this retreat, our rejuvenated and motivated minds are ready to bounce back to work with enhanced spirit. We are looking forward to more team building sessions in the future to meet each other more often.
