I'm so happy for GRT Hotels .. Way to go ..

GRT Grand hotel has been awarded "THE BEST HOTEL OF THE YEAR" award for the year 2007-2008 and it's general manager Mr. U.Sasi Kumar has won the prestigious "Young Hotel General Manager" award for the year 2008.

This hotel is very close to my heart as I ve been there on an internship (like most of you know my passion lies in the Hospitality Industry) with my friend Dhruv for a period of two weeks ,having a study of the variuos departments and enjoying a first hand experience whereever possible.

The details of the award ceremony can be read here.

I was so excited when I saw the article in the news paper this evening and I was so over joyed , the next thing that I did was to call Mr. Ravi Balakrishnan, IT Head GRT Grand hotel who assisted us through out the internship. Jus' looking to drop by the place in person and convey my wishes to them.

I'm so proud I got to do my Intern in one of the best hotels in the country.. Yayy!!

Kudos to the team! :)

You can read my posts about the internship here and here.


P.S. Been having my tests and lots of other commitments to tend to , I aplogize for not being able to blog regularly . Will be back to form soon :)

Awards time :)

The year end always seems to be a time for gifting and appreciation all over the world, so how can that be missed in Blogsville . Here, I have an award which I got from lovely Lena who has always motivated me to do more , she writes a weekly column Tuesday Love Ramblings which is one of a kind. Thanks for this award dear, you've always made me feel special.

I would like to pass this award on to Arv, Vasanthan, Shrav, Jayashree, Preetilata (Too lazy to add the links, will do it may be a little later). Enjoy your award :)

Its awards time again :)

It is awards time again at random thoughts :). It is always great to get to know new people in the blogsville and is all the more interesting when they come back to read your blog over and over again and leave some wonderful comments . This is when you know that there are people in different parts of the world who care to read what you have to say, that eventually leaves a smile in your face :) . I believe there should be recognition and appreciation for a good work.

Lena and Preetilata have gone a step further and have honored me with some wonderful awards last week . Thank you so much Lena and Preeti , it has always been great getting to know you and you guys have always made me happy with your regular visits to my blog and not to forget your comments and awards :) .

I hope you all would pass these awards to your deserving blog friends and link back from where you got it to contine the chain of friendship and happiness .

P.S : I guess most of you would have seen the increase in the number of paid ads I have been doing recently . I know it sometimes irritates readers , so for the ease of my blog friends I'm planning to link my MMI (monday morning Inspirations), WW (Wordless wednesdays) like the way I have done my experiences at Singapore which you can find at the top right corner of the side bar as I understand many of my blog friends would drop by to read these , whereas I wouldn't be linking my other day to day ramblings . Hope this is fine with all my blog friends :)

I'm starting my 4th semester at my University tomorrow and will be moving to hostel over the weekend . This wouldn't stop me blogging thou' I might not be able to blog regularly .

Enjoy your awards and spread them around Blogsville ! :)

Awards ! I love them :)

The year 2007 has been wonderful year to me, thou' I had a few shortcomings it only helped me become more wise and mature and more importantly I started blogging and met some lovely people here . Its 4 days down 2008 and I doubt if I could have had a better start for the year as well as for blogging .
