Team builds in THE LAKE VIEW CAFE- RENAISSANCE

"All work and no play makes me a dull girl"

If the above statement holds good for you too, you would appreciate the importance of work life balance and peer congeniality. Office is a place where we spend most part of our day and hence it is of utmost importance to have a good work environment. There should be healthy relationships between colleagues and then only we are able to work to the best of our abilities. 

Recently, our group had visited "Lake View Cafe, Renaissance" for a team building dinner. Frankly our small group of simulation and modelling nerds as we call it , is a well-coherent and balanced group. Insecurities, politics etc could never pop in their covetous heads, to disrupt the friendly work-oriented environment within the group. So dinner time, could hardly build our team, as it was already well built, but it served as a breeding ground for frank conversations and gay time spent with people, we mostly discuss work with.

Now coming to "Lake View Cafe", it's not the first time I had been there and definitely not the last time either. Implying, most definitely that we liked the place. The physical location, is one very positive aspect of the cafe and that is the exotic view of the Powai Lake. Day and night serve different eye catching views, while the sun- light is on, you can cherish the ripples and as darkness descends you can revere the city lights forming savoury discord of lights on the black waters of the lake. We chose the night beauty. And enjoyed the soft lake breeze caressing us to peace and more so as some of us, had reached early and had ample time before taking the plunge.

The food was great too, there was an elaborate dinner spread ranging from Indian to Thai to Chinese but the best was the desert extravagance. While the gulab jamuns were casting a magic spell, some of us couldn't get enough of the oreo delight...and there many, many more too.

The sweet delight

Smoking hot..well dinner!!! :-)

The lovely ambience, great food and hospitality made our dinner, a joy ride. Team, implies togetherness and no team can exist with inherent differences. So it very important to build a conglomerated team of discrete personalities and activities like this serve as ice breakers. And we recommend "Lake View cafe" to all intending to do so.
