The family that eats, sleeps & prays together; stays together.
An old saying probably it is from ancient christian times. The quote sends a very strong emotional message. Well it says, despite the differences in every individual, a consistently followed routine can build a strong team, a family or a community. It is like everyone is ready to leave out their differences and come forward together for a common cause, a vision or a goal.
The saying can do justice to any group of people who doesn'twas structured or it should have happened the other way around. Anyway, it is good to practice.
common ground on why it is being followed. For the practice of peace and harmony in the family, during old times, people gather and sit for a meal. Maybe this is how the proverb
And this quote, kept humming in my mind during my trip to “Neverland”. Just like the Peter Pan, I was excited and terrified same time. It was so funny when I felt butterflies like a kid to meet new faces. Brings back my school memories, stepping into a new classroom. The greetings became “Quick Quiz” in matching the voices with the faces. In a matter of minutes, I found this gang is entirely different to my imagination about them; except for the kindness they showed.
Just like the ironic facts, the quiet ones in the calls were the loudest in person. The talkative voices remained invisible in entire trip. Nevertheless, their shared unity is notable. I barely spoke to everybody other than common phrases like, “Could you pass the water bottle?” “When is the breakfast, lunch or dinner?” (I like to eat you see). They were quite a group already, but being an entirely different wavelength person, I did not feel like an alien in the gang. This sends a message, “Being ordinary is the new classic” A team of very ordinary people creating things that are brilliant. Man! How cool it is to just even think about it?
They proved to be the most humble geeks I have ever met (Well only in earth, because Martians are more clever). Putting arms around each other for protecting, supporting and even for pulling legs seems the fun part. The thought of making a colleague’s birthday as an office party is the sweetest thing and the whole gang is coping up in keeping it as a surprise to him is impressive. And like the bugs we create, there were downsides like when we walked all the way in a wrong direction for a while, played the “Mafia” game with limited fun and the religious strike we experienced; all remained yet adventurous and definitely goes to my memory book.
Oh, yes, there is a strong girl power in the gang and constantly putting the boys down. Yet, kudos to you guys, you are all awesome withstanding and giving it back without mercy (so much fun with this playful rivalries)
From my personal perception (no offense), the MNC office trips I have taken in my career truly sucks. And I believed an office trip will never be fun packed . Well, I have to change my opinion now. This trip remained as a best part of my travel diaries and I am grateful that it happened at the most needed time of my life. I discovered myself, the lost bird was able to identify its wings and ready to step on to the road.
A trip not to be forgotten
