picnic spot within one hour and enjoyed the remaining day. Actually, everyone
tried to hold the picnic just before or after the Christmas.
But my grandfather
became too sick and was hospitalised. Without his presence, we cannot make
a picnic. So, we waited for his recovery. And thus made the delay.
I went with my family at the Philopappos Hill. This is a very pleasant place to
have picnic and sightseeing. In fact, this was one of my preferred places across
Athens. I came here a couple of years ago to have a picnic from my college.
And I was in love of the natural scenarios of the location. Besides, the spot was
not far from my residence. Hence, I suggested making the picnic in this spot
this year. The other family members agreed
with my proposal and finally, we
made it here. They also loved the spot and praised me highly for selecting this
one. Even, some of them have selected it as a regular visiting place. They had
no idea that the place could be so beautiful.
I was one of the organisers of this picnic. So, I had to be very busy with the
preoperational activities and others. Besides, I was also responsible for
shopping foods and gift items for the family members based on their age and
gender. I was accompanied by a cousin of my age. Both of us handled
everything. Cooking meals were the part of another
team and I had to help
them as well in selecting the menu for the day. The day began with a light
snack in the car. After reaching the spot, I distributed the responsibilities
among the other young members. The females were ready to cook. They
wanted to complete the cooking early to take part in the recreational activities.
Finally, everything was done in the right manner.
This was a really memorable event. When I went at the spot for the first time,
the feelings were different. I was with my friends and other mates. But this
time, I went with my family. They are the beats of my life. So, I enjoyed every
second at the picnic spot. Besides, I also enjoyed
the natural scenes and
especially the sunset scenes. The sunset view was splendid and the entire
western part of the sky turned golden while the sea water appeared liquid
gold. The night appeared gradually and we left the place. All the events -fun,
songs, food, everything was enjoyable. So, this was a memorable event for me
in all aspects.
Generally, my family does not make any picnic outside of the home. In fact, the
family is a bit conservative. But this year, we made a great family gathering by
a family picnic. We made it at the end of February this
year and visited a nice
place here in Mumbai. Thank you for the nice question and I will describe the
entire event now in brief.
Actually, we had no plans to hold the picnic. It was my brother in law who
convinced everyone one to be in a single place together. He wanted to make a
blast. In fact, he wanted to arrange the picnic marking his first marriage
anniversary with my older sister. He was son enthusiastic that anybody could
not refuse him about the matter. So, the date was fixed at the last date of the
month.
Though it was a working day, everyone managed a leave from their
workplaces to attend the picnic. We all went together to our private vehicles at
the picnic sport and passed the day amid fun and festivities.
There is a good number of visiting places are available across Mumbai. But not
all of them are suitable to pass a family gathering or picnic. So, it was a bit
difficult for us to select the appropriate location. There were proposals about
various places and how they were suitable to the purpose. And finally, the
Elephanta Caves were selected as the picnic venue. This
was a great location to
spend the day. It is located on the Elephanta Island. In fact, this was the
location some special caves. We selected the place because it was only 10
kilometres away from Mumbai city where we live in. There are two groups of
caves are available on this island. The island holds both Hindu and Buddhist
caves. Besides, the caves are sculptured in rock cut stones. They have a great
look. The sculptures are dedicated to Shiva, one of the Lords of Hinduism.
None of the family members has been here before. So, it was a bit attractive
place to them. Everyone was happy to be there.
The kids of the family were
extremely glad to have a chance to visit the caves. They had heard about the
caves many times but this was the first time they are seeing them in person.
So, their joys knew no bounds. Besides, the other members of the family were
also glad. They enjoyed themselves. It was my first visit there and thus I moved
to the places to see and know about the history of the sculptures. The meals
were cooked in a corner and we took prior permission for the cooking. In fact,
the brother in law is a government official and he managed everything. So,
there were no worries about the fact. We reached there in the morning and
returned right before the dusk. It was a nice day for all of us.
It was a memorable event for me and everyone else. And we are grateful to
