Under a Cloud

While Goa is on firm footing, the picnic for February 11 has suddenly come under a cloud. Some members, who had visited Nirmal Resort (in Karjat) with a group from the adjacent Garden No 2, now insist that it is a “horrible place” to go. And this after the two Haris, Shekhawat and Naraiyani, have almost finalized the arrangements, including hiring of the bus. Some like Nazma Sayyad have even paid their share for the trip.
The issue was thus thrown open for discussion (pic left) this morning, soon after the exercises. One suggestion that came up was Tikuji-ni-wadi, a popular theme park in the Manpada Chitralsar hills of Thane. According to Shekhawat, a trip there would cost us around Rs900 per head – which many felt was on a higher side, considering the poor quality of food and limited facilities available.
Another option thrown up was Suraj Water Park, also located in Thane. Now this appears to be virgin territory for our members as nobody has any clue what it offers – but for the fact that it is touted as “Asia’s largest water park”. Shekhawat offered to make enquiries and check on the admission rates, etc. before proceeding any further with the idea. In principle though, most members seem inclined towards exploring this option.
Till Shekhawat reverts, we are back to waiting and watching.
Renu Babani's PICSPEAK:
* "Oh God, please help me on how to deal with these ladies... I give up!"
* "Badmaash Company rules. Two additions to the group."
Harish Wadhwa:
Renu-ji, if only he knew how to deal with the lady at home, I am sure he would not have come to the Garden every morning and evening religiously.
