'Royal Hills' Picnic

biglaaf's ROYAL HILLS album on Photobucket
They call this place ‘Royal Hills’. Neither was there any hill, nor had it anything to do with even climbing. It was appropriately a water park (and a beautiful one at that) where all you did was swim in a pool, use the water slides, fool around getting wet, and do some rain dance if you will. But who was asking for more?
This was THE perfect opportunity to let down our hair, inhibitions and much else, away from prying eyes. The spontaneous songs and dancing extended on to dry land with round after round of improvised games, including the usual Housie, passing the ball, tongue-twister challenge and most enjoyably, musical chairs. By some strange coincidence, Yusuf Rassiwala followed his wife, Niloufer in winning two successive rounds of the musical chairs.
Mercifully, there was no antakshari. But it has to be said that this was one resort that was incredibly spic and span, afforded a degree of privacy not seen elsewhere and most importantly, maintained excellent standards of hygiene. The food served – be it breakfast, lunch or high tea (with a surprise ice-cream break in between) -- was sumptuous and the service absolutely top-class. Tara Chand Seth, for one, was so impressed, that he wants to book the place (they have a swank hotel in the complex) for guests during a family wedding this October.
