The very thought of this takes me back to the good old school days where we wait for an year to get that one day 'picnic'. Yes, we have all decided...to be kids again for a day...to forget all the tensions and fears and spend a day filled with fun... to collect loads of memories to cherish throughout..
Off we start at 9:30AM in three bikes and an auto on an otherwise lazy sunday morning to Lal bagh. Apparently we ended up realizing that lal bagh has just 4 entrances and we have successfully managed to cover each of it not sparing atleast one gate. Hemanth, Mr.Confusion has accompanied Sush at the back of her bike with a huge L board on it. Sush was very much pleased by his amazing direction sense of which we shall discuss later.
Each of us having entered the park through various gates in different groups finally managed to assemble at a place called "glass house". A lil plant watching, fish washing and bird watching ;) , we dispered in various directions through which we entered with the understanding that we would all be meeting at the west gate. Sandip, Sandip's uncle, Dibu and I have reached the gate only to realize that there were no signs of the remaining people around. It only alarmed one of our minds that Mr. Confusion was leading the remaining group. No wonder they were lost..!!
We moved onto Kamat to have a sumptuous lunch. A flash news about the riots kept our go karting at a stake. Did I mention that Mr. Confusion is also THE GYAN GURU(GG), who is one of his kind? While we were all discussing the pros and cons, GG and sush marched towards the policeman whom they spotted on the road to get the latest gossip on the safety of the road we are gonna take. Who can predict that??!
Finally, we have decided not to backout. Hurray..!! we were all set to go on a long ride to go Karting. Wait.. did i just say long ride?? hmm.. i also need to say that the ride seemed even longer with Mr.Confusion taking on the driving seat of the bike. Poor Krishna.. he definitely had a tough time in marking the route map for our chap. I cannot put in words the infinite amount of fun we had in trying to trace out the missing bike at every point of our journey. Even after spotting out the lost bike driven by the GG, it wasn't an easy job trying to convince him to turn clockwise by 45 degrees and spot us there. 45 degrees clockwise for us would be 135 degrees anti clockwise for him..!!!
Tracing and retracing the path, we finally reached the venue. I dint know that go karting was so much fun. Equally memorable was the journey back home. Meetu, half asleep in the beginning cursing Dibu at every possible chance, Krishna's kid running around spreading her cute smiles around, Harshada as silent as ever :P , Rammi, the mommy's pet and the terror for Sush updating all the happenings as quick as a live telecast to her mom, Sandip and Dibu vigilent throughout never missing a single oppurtunity to crack their PJ's, MR.Confusion trying his level best to spread his talent across and ofcourse the bubbly and charming ME around.. all in all, it was an awesome day.
