February 2014 MART100’s KART100The racing fever was high and all the racers were really high thanks to the event being followed up after a party hosted by Tr.Ram Swarup and AST.Vinay Grandhi. The stage was set for the first Inter Table Karting Event at Kart Attach, ECR with over 120 Tablers and 30 Ladies participating in the event. All MART100 Tabler's were dressed in pitstop crew gear and ladies elegantly dressed in blue and white. Did I forget to mention the grid girls wooing the racers and the audience? Well it was worth a watch as never has A2 witnessed such show of speed - on the track of course - and boy did the girls motivate the drivers.

The display system and the anchoring was spot on - thoroughly professional as there were instant updates on lap timings and lap positions on the screen.

The initial qualifiers were to test and shortlist the top 24 fastest laps following which they raced in the Semis and Finals which was narrowed to 12 and 6 participants respectively.

In the Ladies Category, Mahek (MWRT10) bagged the 1st place, Seema (124) was 2nd and Deepa (MART100) was 3rd.The Tablers category witnessed some action packed competition where Tr.Thomas (MSRT123) was the winner and Tr.Rajiv (MART100) and Tr.Shravan (MART100) were 1st and 2nd runner up respectively. Tr.Vikas Nahar (MWRT10) recorded the fastest lap (19.8sec) and the fellowship trophy went to MWRT10.

MART100’s Karting Challenge This surely is to stay. Karting by RT100 was a great event with some amazing participation. As Chairman Rajiv Shah mentioned in so many of his mails and messages that they left no stone unturned to give a spectacular event to Area 2. As AC Hari Balaji mentioned, BnB of MSRT123 and Karting of MART100 are events to look out for year on year. We participated in good numbers and almost all who raced qualified as well. We had young guns like Sarvan who sizzled in the race circuit. AKD, Thomas and Vikram blazed their way to the quarter finals with their determined driving skills. It was finally Thomas who won the top honours and won the cup for MSRT123. Kudos to him! It was noteworthy to mention the meticulous planning of MART100. They had everything under control and managed the event professionally. They had huge LCD screens displayed at various locations so that people could catch the race from different vantage points. Some of the races were real nail biting. Overall, a great inter-table event where fellowship ruled and races sizzled.

February 2014 MERT30

MERT30 organized a couple LAPD session which was conducted by Sq.Leg.Prabhat & Tr.Kaushal on the 21st of Feb’14 at Presidency Club.

5 c o u p l e s & 4 T a b l e r s a c t i v e l y participated in the HR session sharing their experiences in an interactive session.

Essense was – nobody is perfect – but let’s not spend our life looking at the partner’s imperfections; rather relish their qualities and live a life filled with love.

The Couples had a good realization and takeaways – of course each one’s experience is different. Nevertheless, the key learning from the session was LOVE = TIME in relationship.

MCRT162

MCRT162 came up with an interesting proposition for the twinklers of Area 2 . A tie up with iPlay entertainment zone at Phoenix Market City for A2 twinklers to c e l e b r a t e t h e i r b i r t h d a y a t t h e entertainment zone by calling their friends and family to watch movies, snow time, magic house etc.

What better way to celebrate B’days for twinklers at Area 2.

February 2014 MERT30MERT30ers were all set to welcome the Summers with their Aqua Party hosted by Tr.Akshay Seth & Asha Seth on 1st Feb'14 at the Park. The theme was a Mediterrean style, and it was truly apt for the venue. Casual atmosphere, chic ambience, lip-smacking food, and rocking music, stylishly dressed guys and stunning ladies all were the order of the night and the crowd seemed to be having a whale of a time. The pool in the heart of the restaurant tempted one and many to take a dip..but they left it for another day.

It was time for Downing 10 shots for a fellowship on 9th Feb'14. With most of the Crs, on a holiday, the Trs made sure to make the most of the weekend. With around 12heads & 5 guests present at 10DOWNING STREET, for an afternoon lunch, it sure was a spectacle to watch all of them enjoy in their best of spirits. The main idea of the fellowship was to call some of the friends of Trs and to have an interaction with them as guests and also have a good casual get together. It was a coming together of sorts, and 10D was rocking even more better in the noon that it does in night. Laughs, chats, beer, starters were the order of the day and our Trs made sure it was a memorable afternoon brunch for the guests as well.

MERT30 & MMRT95 next got their hands on a game of cricket on a warm Sunday Afternoon, and the first match of Table 30, against Table 95, in the A2CL TOURNAMENT, inter-table cricket event hosted by MERT 30. Quick fellowship planned to cheer for our team. Pizzas, beers and drinks kept the teams and the crowd happy. It sure was a good match with 95 playing a good game, but they were unmatched, and Table 30 won.FE

February 2014 MERT30On 11th Feb'14, the 30ers After a long hiatus got together for a movie fellowship after a lot of duds in the recent past, but this one managed to get a decent good review. With 18 heads, including few guests, the Trs & Crs, checked out the latest release in the BO, HASEE TOH PHASEE, a rom-com. Slow and steady, with it quirky laughs here and there, it was a decent movie to watch for and our people after a long time got together to enjoy it. Hopefully the tablets managed to hasee to phassee the crowd for the next movie fellowship.

On 28th Feb'14, A fun filled fellowship with Twinklers, Circlers, Tablers, HT’s, Spl Invitees and our 30square members was held at McDonald’s Kilpauk. It was back to college days for all the Tablers and Circlers and the kids enjoyed every moment of it. They were indeed LOVING IT.

MSRT39After the humongous success of Grand Fellowships like MR & Mrs 39, Oldies Vs Goldies, BlueeeePinkkk, the Badshah of Fellowship alias MSRT 39 Fellowship Convenor Tr. Vishal Goel brought another innovative Fellowship proposal - “Maine Pyaar Kiya”

The preparation for this event started 2 weeks ahead of Valentine’s Day and Tr. Vishal himself visited every couple’s residence along with a Choreographer who taught the couples a few jigsand Tr.Vishal recorded the same so that the couple could practice the dance on their own.FE

February 2014 MSRT39On 14th Feb, over 50 heads from MSRT 39 came to the venue for Valentine’s Day Celebration. It started with Tr. Vishal Goel setting the context of the movie followed by calling out a couple. Every couple came turn wise and performed 2 mins dance. Immediately after the performance, the lady was surprised to receive a Ring from their loved ones (of Course their husbands ;). Further the couple saw a loving video made by our FC, which had pictures right from their wedding till date. The best part was the ladies expressing love for their husband. This was again pre recorded which came as the biggest surprise to all the tablers. A 3 hrs event brought in immense bonding between the families of MSRT 39 as all of us saw the pictures of our fellow couples right from their wedding, honeymoon ;) till date. What a night at 39.

39’ers also had a theme based dinner meet – Gunda’s Night. The atmosphere created truly brought out the set of Gansgster’s Den. All the ladies and tablers were dressed in form of Gunda’s partied till wee hours.

MSRT123Bachelor boy Tr.Bhushan was getting married in a week and his brother decided to throw a bachelors party to have the last bit of fun before Chetna took over. Tr.Abishek was no less to the task and came equipped with all sorts of fun toys. which cannot be described. The room was left messy after the 123 Boys left the Bachelor Boy to catch some breath and peace before his D-Day.

Finally Tr.Bhushan was getting married. For some funny reason (maybe he got a discount) he decided to have the reception first and then the wedding the next day. Maybe he wanted one more day to see if he changes his mind.Tr.Abishek was looking so dashing in his “saffa” that many thought he was the “dulha” and started garlanding him.

The reception was a busy affair with lots of people attending the function. You could tell from Bhushan and Chetna’s face as they were forcing a smile on stage.123ers had a gala time though enjoying the delicious treats that were on offer.

The next day was the wedding day which turned out to be a quiet affair considering t h e ch a o s t h e p r e v i o u s e ve n i n g . Tr.Bhushan had no escape as all doors were guarded and finally tied the knot to Cr.Chetna. God bless the lovely couple. FE

Instead of describing them, it is best that you get an idea by seeing the collage below. Vishal had organised food from Cream Centre and our hungry lot cleaned up the whole thing much before midnight. We all wound up at about 2 AM leaving poor Bhushan with a REAL MESSY room. Wonder what the management of Leela would be thinking when they would send their staff to clean up the room the next day.

Bhushan’s  Wedding  @  Deccan  Plaza After  the  previous  day’s  chaos,  the  wedding  turned  out  to  be  a  nice  and  quiet  affair.    We  were  there  to  witness  that  Bhushan  completes  the  “pheras”  and  ties  the  knot. He tried his level best to escape, but all exits were sealed. As usual, after the customary  hello’s  and  hi’s,  we  were  off  to  check  out  what  was  present  at  the  food  counters. Since the wedding was early, we got to sample both breakfast and lunch. It was nice to witness a wedding in our small RT family. God bless Chetna and Bhushan for a lovely and long married life. They truly looked like made for each other.
