OUR BELIEF

R BELIEF

QUALITY

181 strongly believes in Quality and not in quantity. Why not? Today every facet of life is driven by quality, be it water, silk, gold, firm, apartment, almost everything. If not you wouldn't have so many certifications all around you. How would tabling be if quality is applied to every facet of tabling.? Wonderful, isn’t it? That’s what we do at 181. Does that mean we don’t “Do More”? No, we definitely Do More, we do more in terms of quality. Quality is nothing but sticking to the basics, ensuring the tabling activity does what it is supposed to do.

High on the Seas…

Tablers of 181 on the dry day decided to stay on the waters. We got into a luxury yacht at 4 PM and had 4 hours of a super ride in the sea. A cloudy day with some breeze amidst nature's greatest creation was splendid. The ride was bumpy as we were close to the shore and it settled down when we moved far off the shore. Tablers who had a heavy, filling lunch were made to feel light in no time :-). Sailing in the sea was an entirely different experience that can only be experienced. A fellowship that will stay on our mind for a long time. This fellowship was followed by a business meet . The highlight of the fellowship was that we were dumbstruck when our Chairman opened the door of a bedroom in the yacht showing us a surprise he had arranged for us. Curious??? The topless pic ...

Diwali Fellowship and Karoke

181'ers were the first one to light the festive mood at Kodambakkam. Tr. Lankesh induction party and 181's Diwali Night was hosted at Cine City. The twinklers were thrilled and the 10000 wala brought the busy roads of Kodambakkam to a still for a few minutes. After crackers it was crooning. Yes, a professional Karoke facility was available and all that Tablers, Circlers and Twinklers did was sing, sing, sing and then sing. A true family fellowship was witnessed.

Sunday afternoon, 181ers met at Mainland China for the lunch meet hosted by Tr. Rahul and Cr. Bhawana. It was nice to meet our friends on a Sunday afternoon. The women were busy chit chatting while the men quickly wrapped up the meeting and joined the women and continued chit chatting.

One fine evening our fellowship convener Tr. Kaval felt like playing cricket. One message in whats app and in no time a group of 181ers assembled at Netz Cricket, an indoor cricket facility in Citi Center and played. Cricket lasted for 2 hours, fun lasted longer and body ache lasted the longest :-)

Bar Tending – A crash course

181ers wanted to rock the "War behind Bars" @ Area 6 and Tr. Vinay Grandhi arranged for a crash course on making cocktails, mocktails and shooters at his residence. The suprising part was Tablers who weren't participating in the event were the first ones to assemble, it was not to learn but to get hold of the cock tails and moktails made. Overall a short a sweet fellowship.

Italy in Chennai

M&M hosted a party at Little Italy for the 181'ers... yes the M&M of 181, Tr. Manish and Mamta. It was in this party that the Cric O Mania draw took place. Our twinklers had a loud evening making it difficult to even hear out what others were speaking. Yummy starters followed by the best Italian cuisine and lovely desserts was the highlight of the evening. A relaxing Friday evening with a good set of friends and one more feather to the fellowship of 181...

Girls Night Out!

Women of 181 flocked together for a Girls Night Out at G Pad, Shweta Grandhi's Residence. This one night the men had to take care of the kids while the women had their fun. As I hear, they were chit chatting all night and dozed for two hours. In the morning they strolled at the beach for sometime and had their breakfast together. A night for themselves, something the women deserve. Overall friendship and bonding was at all time high.
