Hi Friends

This is with regards to the above subject. We had a executive committee meeting in between to discuss about the overseas trip and it has been decided to postponed the said trip to later months. We will come up with a new plan shortly keeping the convenience of everyone. 

Same time i would like to request all of you to pour in your ideas. Lets start discussing about the trip from now onwards. Requesting everyone's participation in this pls... 

Many thanks

Hanosh.

guys when u reply send it to "dkmembers". coz some mails are gone to excom members only.
coz all these things should be discussed among all members. 

first point is our group is an umbrella to discuss and execute things which will help to improve our photography side.
so we don't need to take it as a personal trip even if the expenses are not from the association. the DK is a platform to unite, plan and execute ideas.
so please use it to the maximum. 

my suggestion is to plan this trip in August.
coz that is summer vacation and most of us will be available in india. so we can plan a trip which departs from there.
we can plan any destination in india, nepal, thailand or malaysia.  coz from kerala it will be comparatively cheaper  to all these destinations.
and another advantage is we don't need to take extra leave from the company since we will be already in vacation. 
and the places like north india, nepal, malaysia or bangkok will be good for street photography, nature, or architecture photography. 

i hope more people will come with better ideas.

cheers
shahir.

Good morning guys,

 

I agree with Shahir.

The best time is in Aug. when most of us will be in Kerala. Nepal, far-east countries and Indian states will be easy reachable destinations from Kerala.

But personally I’m not interested in far-east (Malaysia, Sin, Thailand) this year, but I’m OK with Nepal or even thinking of Kailas-Manasarovar trip which will take 15 days from Katmandu.

 

With best regards,

 

Manoj

Hello all

A 5 days trip during a 4 weeks holiday is difficult for me.

I prefer a 2 nights program, somewhere near by like Munnar.

if we all are going then the primary objective wont be sightseeing or photography or a long drive but it will be to have some fun time with all families togather... so its better to choose somewhere close.... munnar is a good option.... or kumarakom... some nice resort where ladies kids and us can enjoy ......

A family get together and short 1 day trip would be great. 

Another trip consisting of 2-3 days can be planned for photography/travel/adventure for which it should be bachelors only. If its a place not too far away or in South India then 2-3 days is feasible. If in North India then flight can be considered to be used for similar trip. 

I have a suggestion to conduct a photography exhibition in Cochin or Thrissur at a suitable place during the vacation time (Aug-Sept). The exhibiton should be multiple theme and consists of DK members photos only. If others are interested we can discuss further.

So finally it's coming back to a family trip???
What about a two days trip to Rajasthan or any other place like that. Can go in flight. 



About the exhibition I support that suggestion by Viju.

I’m OK with Vaythiri Resort or Kumarakam.

As most of us agreed on exhibition, we should seriously start work on it.
