Had a good discussion with another participant on being an optimistic and realistic.

Noon sessions were fantastic. So far sessions were intellectually challenging and intersting. Liked the first day session.

Morning session was about vision, mission and values. Very interesting and motivating. Inspiring session by the coach - CEO

In this month 2nd time I'm spending the weekend with strangers without family. Generally its not my type.

Venue is good. First session went well as well. Got to rest. Sessions start from 6.30

Going for a leadership training. Chance to interact with so many different folks. Hopefully it is good.

Home. Tired.

3 km of jam. We're returning back without going to gardens.

Traffic jam on way to brindhavan gardens :-(

Crowded everywhere coz of holiday.

But rich palace. Cry rich. The British came and looted everything. Whatever left is getting looted by our dear politicians.

To mysore palace. Stupid policy - no camera, no cell phone. Stupidest - no slippers. And no information inside.may be coz of crowd.

Very good food. All of us enjoyed.

Lunch at sandesh the prince.

2 hours in zoo. Well maintained. Lots of species. Of course what Nat geo folks take years we did in hours.

Blessed philomina church.

Visited Nandi; next philamino church.

Visited sangamam - union of three rivers.

Tipu's summer palace has fantastic wood paintings, though not maintained.

Breakfast at MTR. Nothing to beat ambiance of kamat, but food was good.

On a trip to mysore. Hope to have a good day.
