| Serious deliberations after the exercises today |
The idea has since gathered momentum and were it not for the large scale absenteeism due to Ramzaan, we would well be hightailing to Lonavala by now.

| Naseer Putani Shah suddenly reported ill this morning |
But then, Lonavala is not the only picnic spot being mentioned. Saina Resort, where we had been to last year (ref post of November 26, 2016) and had a ball is another option being talked about. So is Royal Garden Resort, besides a couple of other holiday getaways that have come up recently which we are yet to explore.
The issue at stake is however, not so much about getting soaked in the rains. (That, in any case is inevitable, no matter where we decide to go.) The point is whether we would like to return the same day or spend a night out on location. Lonavala, or for that matter, Mahabaleshwar (as some were also mentioning) means ‘night stay’. Going to a holiday resort or beach (such as Gorai) amounts to a ‘day picnic’. Each has its pros and cons, upon which a consensus is yet to emerge.
Consequently, it has been decided to wait for Ramzaan to be over and our absentee members turning up in the Garden. Thereafter, we would take a call on how and where to celebrate the monsoon this year. For the moment though, Lonavala seems to be everyone’s favorite destination – simply because it is more than four years since we had last ventured there. So much for Dilip Babani's tempting treats in the rains -- kanda-bhajiya, garma-garam adrak-wali-chai, corn bhajiya...
Karun Sharma:
It may be better if we plan to stay overnight. Many would get tired travelling to and fro and may not enjoy as much.
