Etiquette Dining :O What a pain...

Two days ago, our careercenter had organized an etiquette dining session, free of cost for all students, at a local country resort (Pebble Creek Club). The purpose for that was to teach students in business programs how to behave in formal business dining sessions i.e. during interviews/company events.

They taught us everything from how to sit at the table to how to eat/how much to eat/what to eat/what not to eat/how to hold spoons or forks/ at what angle to hold them/whcih spoons to use for different types of food....man it was exhaustive! I thought "If I'll have to keep so many things in mind, I won't be able to eat anything". As it is, I could hardly eat as most of the food was non-veg.

But overall, it was a good session and I learnt a number of things that we overlook during normal dining at some event. After all, a business dinner is not about eating but to get to know more about the company and vice versa!

Had a good time (especially interacting with the loads of beautiful and perfectly dressed HR and Marketing female students hehe...) Oh boy, when will I ever be able to say I've seen the most beautiful woman on this planet, for the final time. Because I do so everyday in this country :) :) Oh common, don't give that wry smile now, Can't I honestly appreciate beauty? :P :P
