Corporate team outing ideas in Chennai

Team outing options are generally at resorts or adventure and gaming zones. It depends on whether it is a relaxing, catching-up-with-colleagues agenda or a team building one. I’ll run you through the venues where you can have fun as well as strengthen and nourish the bond amongst your team.

Fit Rock Arena

This is as rocking as the name looks! The indoor rock climbing facility, first of its kind in Chennai, makes this place a rocky rocking one! There are also other activities such soft touch archery, slacklining and Zumba.
Yeah! Rock climbing is the cool but unable-to-do thing that we all see in the HD wallpapers and admire. Well now in Chennai we can pose ourselves and make it as wallpapers. Including those of you, who don’t have sculpted muscles.

There is a 35 feet high wall fitted with plastic holds of different shapes and colors. The participant climbs to the top by choosing a specific route of a specific color. There are about 20 routes to climb. The routes are of different grades of difficulty from very easy to hard. There are other activities too.



G-Sector Lasertag
Laser tag is the toned down, harmless version of the paintball game. However, the fun, energy and strategizing is as vibrant. It is a real life arena of shooting game where you get to be any of the cool heroes that you wish you were, from the video games that you played when you were a child. Contra, counter strike, tomb rider.. You name it. While you can’t get the forests, deserts or abandoned buildings to run and jump around, you’ve got a gun! If a little of the video game playing kid is left in you, then you can just go on a shooting spree.

Premium Banquet Halls in Chennai
You are given special vests and a laser gun that emits harmless lasers. You are split into teams and put in an extensive indoor arena. Visit the G Sector page for more details and their venue at Khader Nawaz Khan Rd near Thousand lights.
Just pick up your gun, split into two teams ensuring you put your boss in your opposite team and then… Happy shooting..!

Freeing India
Now if the majority of the team wants to play more of intellectual than physical, Freeing India promises thrilling indulgence!
It features 5 mysterious and fun themed rooms. You are locked in a room and you have to escape it by spotting carefully for hints and clues. Easy isn’t it? This is not the treasure hunt that you played in schools or colleges. You are put in the middle of a feature film with a back story. Climax is coming in 45 minutes. Either you solve the puzzle and emerge a hero or you don’t and emerge a lost hero.

Banquet Halls in Chennai
It’s immense fun! Peek in here to have a look at what kind of situations you are going to handle and emerge a winner. The puzzles pinch your observation, logic and creativity!

Kaleidozone
Kaleidozone, India’s first Interactive VR Zone. Yeah! VR is where you put on a pair of giant specs and you are into a new world with which you can interact. There seven different VR experiences to choose from.
For someone who hasn’t experienced VR yet, the first few minutes will be like a kid thrown into a world of candies and chocolate mountains. You just have this amazing new world around you with which you can do anything but you are too baffled to do anything.
What’s special in a VR? Is it the visuals?! Is it the experience?! Yes it is, for the moment! But what stays with you long after you left the arena is the feeling of experiencing something that you don’t get to, in your day to day life; Ones that are reserved for movie stars, adrenaline junkies and superheroes.

 

Bay of Life Surf School
Had your fill of resorts and games? Up for some adventure sport and adrenaline? Then Surfing should be your shot.
Bay of Life Surf School located at Kovalam, is the first accredited surf school in Tamil Nadu. It is a destination for all surfing related activities, purchases and schooling. With a team of surfers, trainers and scientists, it is no doubt a professional surfing destination.
Don’t get boggled by the sophistication of it. It is a place of fun and frolic for people who are dazzled by the idea of surfing and want to give it a try. Why should surfers have all the fun?! The best part is you need not even know ocean swimming to go try surfing at The Bay of Life.


Surf Chennai
They have day packages for corporate outings and you also get to snorkel, kayak and paddle board. It has a shallow water bed with an average of 3 feet. Safety vests are also provided. Yes! That means you don’t have to know swimming and still enjoy surfing!

How to create a wedding budget ?

A million rupee question about spending thousands of rupees! Creating a budget for a wedding is definitely not that easy! If you have ever married, you’ll swear by me that its a fact! And I swear this is surely not something that I’m portraying as a problem, so that I get something to post a blog about! Read on.. These are a few important things that you should double check, if you want to make the budgeting the least troublesome.


Btw..
Major JoJo, the BigFperson of Bigfday, is apparently excited about reaching out to the BigFfollowers personally. So he wanted to write this blog. Though it won’t be as good as mine, it will be good enough ðŸ˜‰ Letting him take it from here..
Yea! Forgot to mention. If you guys didn’t know, he is a half Homo Sapien and half Santa Claus.

How to create a wedding budget?

Simple things that can make your wedding budget plan efficient and easy.

How much can you shell out?

Ultimately the wedding budget depends on how much are you willing to spend. What is your overall budget like? It depends on how you want the wedding to be, in an overall sense. You want it to be a grand gala one where you want to call all the 829 relatives or you want to keep it to the close circle of 153.
Find your bloody soulmate! Wedding is hell of an expense in India and it takes more of your time n energy than you anticipate! The sheer thought of redoing it will keep you away from finding the souler mate if you discover that whom you felt was your soulmate is not really one! Be sure if you want to get married in the first place!

Now drill down

Once you get a feel of how big the wedding is going to be and how much you can shell out, get into the nitty gritty of it. Get an idea of how many people you are inviting for wedding and reception.
Decide who matters to you and those for whom you matter! Add their families. Add the families of those who attended your parents’ wedding. That’s the minimum. Miss this, and it’s a blasphemy!

Now drill downer

The average breakdown of budget for different wedding services gives you an idea of how much to allocate for various items like venue, decor, photography, etc.
Food, photos & videos. That’s all it matters ultimately.

Pick vendors

Once a rough budget allocation is done, start picking vendors for each of the services. Here is where the actual work starts. A zillion things to remember and hundreds of interconnections. Decor depends on venue, venue depends on accessibility and look, accessibility depends on from where guests are coming, etc,etc. A few things to keep in mind:
  • Depending on the crowd, look for venue. Some good mandapams don’t allow Non-Veg. Mandapam Vs Non-Veg is a tradeoff that people have to make nowadays. If the wedding is in a banquet hall, it’s not an issue.
  • Decors – Takes a major chunk of the budget and people realize it only when the pick vendors.
  • Caterers might suggest too many items. Less, awesome items are always better than more, ok-ok items.
  • Transportation for relatives and accommodation – If the major crowd is from far places, book train 3 months early, or else it ends up being too costly. Similarly book rooms early if it’s a muhurtam date.
  • Now search for vendors for venue, photo, video, decor and makeup.
  • Bargain, select the vendor, pay advance and keep track of the pending payments.
More than half of all this can be made a breeze, if you call one of our JoJo’s.

The last step

Walk the aisle and live happily ever after!
Check the balance sheet of your wedding budget. It always reminds us how ugly we are at financial planning. And yeah, downsize your honeymoon proportionate to your underestimation of wedding expense.
