Hi All,
This is the first ever posting for our exciting start to adventure in Synechron SQA that's our team.On Friday 8/11, all team members were thinking to continue our festive mood of Diwali for the weekend as well. Thus, an idea to visit some place nearby came to mind. After exchanging few idea and fun filled debate over the destination, we have finalized Fort Lohagad in Sahyadri mountain range.
People and their enthusiasm can be seen while discussing the plan. some of team members were feeling bad as they were having some different engagements/ personal work, however their support in the event was very cheerful.
All the details were already worked out and message was sent to all team members for the plan. This certainly created a wave in Asurion SQA group as few people exchanged some "Experts" comments for the trek which was very inspiring to make this event successful.
In morning all team members arrived at Shivajinagar station and adventure began with catching up local train :) Everyone had a different story to tell about - how they got on the train.
After reaching to Malavali before Lonavala, everyone was so hungry that unanimously we opted for Poha and some other snacks. One interesting thing we noticed that the Shop owner's little girl was having breakfast at next table, when asked her name she was answering about herself and her school details in proper English - we all were very impressed with that.
Then our journey started to base camp of Lohagad. With a narrow route full with stiff rock patch ahead gives us thrilling experience.
It was amazing experience to see the breathtaking view by being the first one to reach to the main gate and directing route to all team members.
On the way to top there were so many theories on various subjects were discussed and people were so curious to listen -
and when realized that there is great chance to prove the theory wrong then some champion's views were seen
whereas others were busy resting :)After some refreshments everyone started exploring the fort and remembered few historic moments associated with the fort.
Then it was some sight seeing and "FB" pics - LOL!
Small fight scene.... was also caught.
Overall it was fun filled time. After the trek everyone realized that we all needs to be physically fit thus without discussing anything about the daily routine, everyone have made resolution :)
Very exciting thing was we were planning for next adventure, so see you on next event.
