On our 5th anniversary, we travelled to Alleppy for a day of hectic activity. Snooker, swimming, dancing, cycling, cricket, gossip, eating and even sleeping were all part of the day, not to mention loads of laughter! Do check out the action.

Kerala, being the home of many dance forms like Kathakali etc., finds some practitioners at Suyati!

Girls win the antakshari – not on the basis of their expressions though!

After the bus ride, the top tech management sits on top of the boat to Punnamada Resorts.. Just in case the boat goes down!
