Why are the pictures so small? Can’t I get a CD of all these pictures? But I want prints of some of the photographs to send home. Double-click on the pictures and you’d get bigger images. Suchh-muchh, mast hai!Renu Babani was right. Indeed, the after-effects of the Lonavala picnic won’t leave us for a long time. This feeling of collective joy got a further boost this morning when Kishor-bhai laid out his laptop in the China Hut and played the slideshow of the trip for the benefit of all those who hadn’t already seen it on the blog.
Mrs Harbans Singh could not figure out what was so special about the camel close-up. When told it was Dilip-Kajal on top, she simply cracked up. That appears to be the funniest and most popular picture on the slideshow, though Yusuf Rassiwala would like to credit Dilip-bhai for taking the “best photograph” of the picnic – the Boses getting close and mushy, a la vintage Rajeissss Khanna and Sharmila Tagore!
Mr and Mrs Shekhawat caught in almost a similar pose came for equal appreciation, prompting the former to request for prints to take home (in Rajasthan). “I want prints of all the good pictures to show my people there,” he said. "I am leaving on the 5th (of October)."
The bad news of the morning was that the CD (containing the pictures in high resolution) could not be played as it got inadvertently reformatted. The good news is that nothing had got deleted since it was not a re-writable CD. The pictures are now showing up in perfect condition. But by way of abundant caution, 10 copies are being burned right away and would be distributed among those who need the CD.
So Kishor-bhai, don’t feel bad: We’ll play it some other time. And we won’t need to go to Lonavala again, only to take pictures!

What a relief! The pictures are in tact. Hopefully we will get a copy of the CD tomorrow and enjoy watching it at home. Each picture holds a certain memory, recalling the incident, all of which are worth remembering. I am sure, another picnic like this will be planned in the near future and those who were unable to attend will definitely come for the next one. Who likes to hear about it but not enjoy the fun too?
