oh what a day!

we went for the tcs annual picnic yesterday to a water park. Shangrila water resort, off nasik-mumbai highway. a corny lookin place with an even cornier name.
it would not be wrong to say that we were skeptical. very very skeptical.
and then,it would be an understatement to say that what we got was exactly opposite to what we expected.
we expected : chaos, crowd, mis management, boredom, irritation etc etc...
we got : pure unadulterated fun!!
all of you people who didnt come for whatever reason missed out on something real nice!!
what began as a bus journey at an unearthly hour (6:30 am) soon became the best day of the year so far!
i wasnt that keen on going into the water but these amazingly gutsy people actually pushed me into the pool!
i got sweet sweet revenge by dunking each one of them in the water. ;-)
from playin with a football in the water to splashing water on each others face, untill the other one couldnt see anything..we did everything possible!
the best part was that some or the other "chot" kept happening with someone or the other.

nishant (was) was standing like his confused self, right where people land when they come down a slide, and he got pushed so badly..my stomach hurt i laughed so much!!!

and we didnt even leave poor shailesh..he didnt have a change of clothes and yet we threw him in the pool! at the end of the day he was a much cleaner shailesh..he doesnt have a bath everyday na....
hehehehheeeee...

played donkey football with naveen, santosh, and viv and most of the time, i was the donkey in the middle!

to cut a long story short, we were very apprehensive about the whole day, and abhi and i had actually decided in the bus that if we get even the itsy bitsy bored we'll leave and go home on our own.
but at the end when they announced that the buses were leaving, we actually didnt want to leave. where time flew, no one realised!

bottom line : things are not what you expect them to be, so give everything a chance!!

and yeah..a peice of sincere advice : the next time you go for a picnic, dont take responsibilty of someone else's football.. its very difficult to actually keep track of it!!

untill next time...
