Discovery Bay Beach

Yesterday, after the heavy lunch, had a nap and went to discovery bay beach to generally unwind...its a really nice place too go on a weekend evening to relax n have a good drink/wine/dinner/coffee/juice and have ur time in the evening sun....good beach...decently long stretch tough not anywhere close to the long beaches of Tamil Nadu (all of India in fact)....

(especially having been brought up in Chennai....right near Marina...n having been thr so many times this seems really really tiny....)

overall a good way to spnd ur evening...nothing much for me to write abt how to go and things...u can find evey little detail on the net...go to http://www.dbay.com.hk/icms2/index.jsp or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_Bay for more details.....

crashed after coming home...nice sleep...n back to pavillion today....work work n more work :)

Feast

today i was a in a mood to cook...made bisibelebath.....kathirikkai kari....thakkali pachadi....mixed veg curry :) yoooooooo.....manasara saptachu...now onto some beach or sumthing :)

Another relaxed weekend day

Today has started in a relaxed mode...again...nothing to do but cooking :) break fast n lunch.....thinking of going to some kinda beach in the evening.....

was thinking abt sumthing very interesting...one of my friends....is in a team...out of home town...infact out of home country....not too lucrative but very good for profile, resume, etc....has some family problems...gotta spend a huge amount to bring the family or has to leave the team and move back.....n the guy has promised for 2 more months in the team....he comes to the team lead n manager to help him thru the situation......the way he is...he can be flexed...he hasnt decided anything yet......so as a leader/manager u r in a position to influence the guy into a decision.....

so...if u r the leader of the team...wat do u do? wat shud u advice this guy? what is gud for him? if he stays n brings the family with him....he loses a decent amount of money but may be...jus may be...he will have a profile which will help him in the longer term...if he leaves...he breaks a commitment....but he doesnt lose too much...he has been in the industry for more than 7-8 yrs....so he can get back a good enough role in a very short while....so as a leader/manager....WHAT to do??!! team or person? money or profile?

Clearwater Bay Walk

HK is an amazing place if u want to do some hinking....nature walking and relaxed enjoyment amidst nature.....last week...we, the gang, went to Clearwater Bay Walk which is a low to medium difficulty walk in and around the Clearwater Bay Country Park...this is a walking cum mountain biking trail not extremely famous but really very nice...easily accessible as well...

Take a MTR to Tsuen Kwan O station...which is in the aptly named Tsuen Kwan O line :) From the Central/Admiralty/Wanchai in the Island take the Island Line to North Point and move onto Tsuen Kwan O line.....From Tsuen Kwan O station take 103M mini bus and once onto the Clearwater Bay Road, keep looking out, you will find a lot of entry points in to the trail...this trail goes very much in parellel to the road for 2-3 kms and so has 2-3 entry points from the road....keep your eyes open and start walking....

This trail practically is a EASY one but there is a detour that once can take to climb the High Junk Peak....which is the top most point in and around Clear Water Bay and thus provides an amazing view....this climb is really steep and reasonably difficult if the day is sunny...so the Low to Medium rating.....see some of the amazing views....

we had selected a really sunny and so it was very very tiringggggggg....during the trek you would not get water or food or anything...so its best tot ake whatever is needed from Tsuen Kwan O...some water and some fruits should do the trick....both available at the MTA station...heard from previous trekkers that the Tin Hau temple at the end of the trek serves good sea food but havaent personally tried it.....I probably would not, am a veggie ;)

These two weeks

Has been extremely hectic in a professional sense....but reasonably rewarding as well...reward in terms of my own self belief increasing....i am doing some things which I havent done yet in professional life n it has been really good to see that it really works...I AM ABLE to do it :) wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a feeling....

stretched is probably a very liht word for what we went thru as a teeam this week but end of the day.....friday....everyone around says...good job dudes....thanks for staying...amaaaaaaaazing :)

After the commercial break

After the commercial break....am back....had been off to India on personal work for a week and then been in a very tight week in office.....weekend has been rocking as of now...details on further posts :)

Chennai is simply amazing...superb climate for all the 7 days i was around....n luks like it has been tat way this week as well...climate change seems to have a positive effect as well in some corners of the world...brilliante
