Picnic Hangover

The Lonavala ‘picnic hangover’ is yet to lift from the Garden. It’s been more than two days since we returned from the picturesque hill-station on Bombay’s outskirts and everybody seems to be still tripping on the trip. Even strangers, who do not know us too well, but merely see us every day at the Garden during their morning walk, have been wanting to know everything about our trip. They want to know where we stayed, how much it had cost us, the places we visited, whether we could go to Khandala and Karla Caves as well… And this is not out of politeness or common courtesy. They genuinely want to know.
For members who could not make it, the questions were predictable and repetitive: How did Shekhawat acquire the name “Daddy”? Where exactly is the Narayani Dham? How clean were the rooms we stayed in? What do they serve for lunch and dinner? Didn’t we all get drenched in the waterfall? Who were the winners of Housie? How did Nafisa Sayed perform her old heroine act? They want all the details. To satisfy their curiosity, Bhaswati Bose did a small presentation on her laptop (pic above) of the photographs clicked during the trip.
You can see some of those pictures in the slideshow at the top of the panel alongside.

Thanks to Bhaswati Bose for making photo arrangements. All the photos are very nice. They have really been well taken, covering the full trip.

Until you go to Lonavala personally, it is hard to explain everything in detail. A lovely place for anyone who just wants some peace and quiet. Despite going for the second time, we enjoyed ourselves and just being together was important. We ensured that we made the trip memorable and like it is said, what happened at Lonavala, stays in Lonavala. Guess, I got some people curious... Well, no big deal, whatever anyone wants to think.
