a day to be remembered

A day like this should better be remembered as day of new beginnings, a day when you actually get to know what you are up to. It gives you something which you can’t deny at deepest of your thoughts – what I am capable of doing.
My experience is about a business exercise, which was given to us, and there were some conditions attached to it. Like- you don’t have to spend a single penny while going to the place, which was assigned to us and doing a survey on restaurant business in that area. So, we took lift from two cars, a truck and a municipality van, which is used to carry dead body while going to the place. After that we visited many restaurant and took so many lifts that I lost my count of that. After a long search, we went to Mainland China- an up market restaurant in City Point, but he turned us down. Then we went a restaurant named BOMBAY BRASSERIE, which specializes in Indian cuisine and currently holding a Kabab and Curry Festival (19th June to 3rd July). We talked to its manager Mr. Murli Das and then to Mr. Imtiaz Shaikh - food and breweries manager, while talking to him i found that he was friend of Col. Prem Anand. The restaurant was part of Copper Chimney group, which has 20 other branches in India and runs Restaurant under name of Bombay Brasserie, Copper Chimney, and Bombay Blues. We collected some information about the restaurant, its operations, its customer profile and all. Then we visited the Kitchen and get to know about some of the Chefs. We had our lunch with the Manager of the Restaurant and talked to a customer. And after that we left for a journey ahead, getting back to institute at time by taking lift from cars.
In all it was it day I thoroughly enjoyed and will remember throughout my life.
