Ski India 2009 – Andamans!

Standing bleary eyed in front of the Indira Gandhi International Airport at 4 AM in the morning, I asked myself what was it that had brought me and the rest of Xebia here. The wind was positively nippy, though we had been mercifully spared a fog. The ticket said we were going to the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. However, we were too sleepy to care (at that point).

Skibia is the annual Xebia Holland Ski outing. In the spirit of Xebia culture, where fun is mandatory, we have the Ski India. Xebia India has this annual outing event, whereby we go to (exotic) locations.

A quick boarding, and most of us promptly fell asleep. The clouds slowly got prettier, as the plane flew over the Bay of Bengal. We had heard about the islands’ beauty, but nothing prepared us for the sight that greeted us outside the tiny windows of the aircraft. Scattered pearls started appearing from between the mists. Tropical paradises covered by lush green forests, surrounded by jade colored seas, floating in a deeper cerulean blue ocean, greeted our eyes.

Our journey started with witnessing a huge chaos at the airport. Their systems had gone down so everything [...]

My initial 100 days @ Xebia? I’ll say it takes something “extra” to be here. It calls for the people with perseverance and “ready to take on any challenge” kinda attitude .
