FELLOWSHIPS @ 123.............................................................

058.The BIG Anniversary Dinner Fellowship (02.Dec.14)It was BIG man Tr.Nitesh's Anniversary..oops..Nitesh & Shweta we meant. And what a better venue for the North Indiants to treat us than Southern Spice at Taj. Amazing food and ambience as usual and we guys for once looked forward to some nice South Indian delicacies unlike the regular parathas and western dishes during our fellowships. A BIG celebration indeed.

059.RUM with Reddy & MARTINI with Somani (13.Dec.14)It was a Charter Night celebration of 123 and boy what a celebration it was. Though the event started late, every minute of it was a laugh riot thanks to Tr.Kamal & Tr.Kishor, the hosts for the evening who made sure they delivered laughter, shots, collect fines and of course RUM & MARTINI was available at the BAR. The sergeanting act by the hosts was a unique one where each tabler was called on to sit not he big chair with his better half and answer some crazy and uncomfortable questions. The deal was either pay fine or have some shots if the answer was not unto the mark. While the floor tablets settled for fine, the smart head table settled for alcohol - free shots are always welcome. A fun event overall and yes, nobody was spared.

060.Mega Fellowship of the Month - PAINTBALL with MERT30 Buddies (14.Dec.14)As part of the monthly mega fellowship, PAINTBALL with MERT30 was scheduled on Sunday. A lazy Sunday evening, amazing weather and a perfect time to play paintball just across the beach. It was 123 vs 63 in multiple rounds and some intense and fierce battle. It looked as thug we were part of the army while a few (Tr.Bharat) preferred to pose like Taliban. The intense battle and the splash of colors in the field was an amazing experience. Tr.Nitesh was in his peak form eliminating each of the opponents and making sure 123 had a clean sweep. Post the intense paintball session, it was time to cool off where Chairman AKD had all the arrangements in place for the spirits in his car boot. Be it Beer or Breezers, a 123 fellowship cannot go dry.

061.Dinner Fellowship @ Bella Ciao, ECR (14.Dec.14)BURP!!! YUMM!! That was the quality of food and wine at the good old time BellaCiao, a famous restaurant last decade. We were surprised that the place was still serving some exceptional food and amazing ambience of course. We just kept eating and eating and drinking and had to stop when we realized that we were unable to move an inch either side, thanks to the yummy food - we were over stuffed. A wonderful bonding session for 123, 63 & MERT30 - we thoroughly enjoyed their company.

062.BIG Showroom Inauguration (25.Dec.14)It was Christmas and we had to celebrate else Santa would be disappointed with us. On a serious note, 123 & 63 gathered in good numbers and attended the Grand Showroom Inauguration of the GIRIAS Store of Tr.Nitesh at Wannarapetta. Well the samosas and kachoris were what were looking out for and it was indeed yum. While coffee is a NO NO, thanks to the personal likes of Mr.Giria, we were served some hot Tea and yes we did a lot of charcha over Tea especially about some POLKA Dots (The story of Tr.Vikram and his fancy for women wearing polka dotted sarees). If we divulge anything more, we will end up with bruises;-) All in all a fun filled Christmas and we still await the Christmas gifts from GIRIAS;-)

063.Awards Celebration @ Ecstacy (28.Dec.14)MSRT123 & MSLC63 won a host of awards for the year gone by at the NAGM at Kolkata and as soon as the news was out, the party maniacs were out celebrating at Ecstacy. Well the place sounds like the one similar to the Bachelor Party @ NAGM, but this is just a simple but exotic dessert place in Chennai. 123 & 63 proved that they just need to binge and they just need a reason for that. How better could one celebrate the sweet success with some sweet desserts. Another sweet treat was up the cards once Chairman Akshay would be back thanks to IPC Tr.Viral who announced in true gujju style - “a dessert party at my house” and we at 123 never let go anything, especially if its FOOD.

064.New Years Eve Party @ Park Hyatt (31.Dec.14)Surprisingly most of the Tablers & Circlers were in town this New Years eve and Tr.Kishore made sure we have a memorable party. We checked in at Park Hyatt and expected a wild party and to our surprise the hotel made the guests go wild as they had shut down the music at 1pm. Nevertheless, 123 does not shop partying, the bachelor boys room is always open for the after party. Tr.Akshay was at his best trying to convince some guests to join tabling (and the same needs to be featured during the AGM presentation - his desperation to induct quality young blood). It was a fun filled night where we stayed up till 4am and enjoyed more than the party at the hotel. A wonderful start to a New Year - Nothing better than being with family & friends to welcome the New Year.

025.Limb Donation on Charter Day @ Adinath Jain Trust (14.Dec.14)Tr.Akshay, Cr.Indu & Tw.Aarav visited Adinath Jain Trust, Choolai and handed over a cheque of Rs.10000/- towards limb donation as a special gesture for the Charter Day of MSRT123.

INTER-TABLE @ 123.............................................................

008.CRICOMANIA - BY MKRT181 (07.Dec.14)Cricomania, the annual inter table event of 181 was back. A better and bigger format and very well organized event. 123 is known for its sportsmanship spirit and with the same enthusiasm we played with players who have never played cricket before. Tr.Kishor made sure he gave everyone a serious laugh when he was there to bat. The match was a close one against 162 till a substitute - 181's Pratik smashed 6x6ers and spoilt our chances to qualify for the next round. While some felt sad, most of the others felt happy so that they could grab a burger at mcdonalds and then head back home early on a sunday evening.

009.MMRT3’s Christmas Carnival (21.Dec.14)A very well organized Christmas Carnival, with the perfect atmosphere for a fun filled Sunday evening. Kids made the most of this event thanks to the joy rides and games organised for them. The Laser Tag was a fun game where both the kids and Tablers & Circlers enjoyed. The cotton candy, the pop corn and much more reminded us of our childhood and we always wondered that in this tech age would children ever eat that pink cotton candy and sit on a

AWARDS @ 123.............................................................

NATIONAL AGM - Band Baaja Baraat - Kolkata (26-28.Dec.14) The recently concluded National AGM was a classic affair. There was a Band, there was a Baja and there were Baratis - that was the theme (Band Baja Baraat) of the National AGM of RTI held at ITC, Kolkata 26-28 December 2014. Chairman Tr.Akshay & Cr.Shruti attended the NAGM representing MSRT123 and it was an amazing experience. Bonding with Area 2 Tablers and Tablers from the National were the best moments. A very well organized 3 day event, the organizers made sure the guests had nothing to complaint. In short, a fantastic NAGM.

We thought the awards at the Area2 AGM were a redefining moment in the history of 123, but it was awards galore at the NAGM as well. MSRT123 & MSLC63 won a host of awards for the year gone by and it was indeed an overwhelming experience receiving these awards. A proud moment to be a part of 123 & this wonderful movement.
