Singing and enjoying the train journey was one such experience which was pretty new to all members. The surprise package of this visit turned out to be the birthday celebration of the wing’s Vice President Sri. Kiran C G, wherein the birthday cake was cut in the train. This was a first time ever celebration that he had. Here goes his words on the celebration – “ Thank Thanks – I am speechless and am not getting words to express my feelings”.

The members enjoyed their time in the Gama’s Ship which gave a glimpse to the historic Vasco D Gama visit to the Malabar region in the early decades. Mr. Gopalakrishnan M S (Crew Head), who himself is a retired nautical engineer briefed the crew on the historic Gama visit. The Sadhoo express was left with no more space as the crew occupied all seats for their stroll around the park. The team then took a virtual 3d ride at the 3d theatre and then had their foot dance to the tunes of Gagnam and Pistah Suma at the rain themed dance floor. Tora Tora, See Saws, Net slide, Roller Coasters and the Pirates Ship were few rides that the crew took in the pre lunch session. The crew then had a sumptuous lunch at the restaurant where Lays took the pride. Post lunch session saw the crew members enjoy their time in the cool water and bullet slides. Final mix was always left for the waves to mount by as the crew were all at the wave pool for the ups n downs. ‘Meesha Mama’ and ‘Shippu Mami’ were the find of the season with Sri. Gopalakrishnan M S and Smt. Pushpa Anandh attaining these Titles along the days trip.

Apart from Calicut, the crew also had participation from Kottayam district also. Sri. Sriram S Iyer (Tarang specialist) was one passenger in the crew. Here goes his experience in a few words – “Had a Wonderful experience in my first ever trip to a water theme park ….. It was an immense pleasure spending time with you guys. Thanks a Lot for this opportunity and hospitality. Leaving Calicut Half – Heartedly”. Taking pride in these words, the trip turned out be the best ever of the trips that the wing has had and the most memorable one among the lot. The words from other crew members were such – “When is the next trip ? “.
