Working Picnic

Shekhawat announces picnic to Chhota Kashmir

After extensive discussions over the past two weeks, Shekhawat today concluded that the next picnic from the Club should be at Chhota Kashmir in Aarey Colony on December 6, 2014, i.e. next Saturday. It will also occasion the long-pending general body meeting, followed by a working lunch to celebrate the registration of Big Laaf.
Making a formal announcement in this regard, Shekhawat said that like the last time (ref post of February 15, 2014), we would be hiring autorickshaws to and fro, each unto his own. “We shall all assemble at the gate (of the Garden) and three to each autorickshaw, we will take off at 9:00 a.m. sharp,” he elaborated. “While the travel costs should be met individually, lunch and refreshments will be provided from a common kitty. Non-members cannot be part of this picnic.”
Barely an hour ride away, Chhota Kashmir is a popular weekend getaway for canoodling couples, school children and nature lovers.

Srichand Arora submits resignation

Tucked away from the hustle-bustle of the metropolis, this expansive stretch of forested greenery and water bodies close to Goregaon has served as a picturesque backdrop for many Bollywood movies in the past. It has a beautiful lake also where paddle boats are available on hire.
Last time around, the picnic was initiated by Dilip Babani and it was his idea to hop into autorickshaws instead of booking a bus for the trip. That was when half the members were already on tour in Kerala and many like Shekhawat, Srichand Arora, Monthi Serrao, Yusuf Rassiwala and Arun Patil had missed out on Chhota Kashmir. To an extent, it is for their benefit that this picnic is being organized at the same spot.
Meanwhile, Arora created a flutter this morning by submitting his resignation from Club presidentship. He cited ‘personal reasons’, but everyone knew from where it was coming and nobody took him seriously. Moreover, nobody is technically competent to accept a president’s resignation. Jagmohan Papneja’s sage advice to Arora was to wait for the next meeting and place his resignation letter before the general body for consideration.
Jagmohan Papneja:
By having a picnic and the general body meeting at Chhota Kashmir, we shall kill two birds with one stone. This is a beautiful place. The view of the lake and all the boats is great too. We are really lucky to have such an accessible picnic spot near our area. Surely everybody will enjoy this opportunity.
