Picnic

Jubilations galore when the plan is executed in the arrival of winter,

Cheerful faces inspect the entire arrangements for the trip.

In a bus the journey begins to enthrall the beautiful moments ,

The exuberance and the ebbulient hearts enjoy ;

The spirit of freedom and a close proximity with nature.

At Tughlagabad fort the battalion gathered for the picnic to spirightliness.

In that serenity we could move towards an undaunted destination,

To rejuvinate alone from the gathering to be with nature.

The leaves that fell on the ground in autumn,

Were trampled by us and their sound really generated a fervour.

The smell of the soil while we explored the unknown routes ,

Instilled a thrill as if an adventure was surmounting.

Boating in the river uplifted our spirits ,

It was as if nature enveloped into its arms to embrace.

By that time the cooking began ,

In an open ground the large vessels were washed.

Vegetables were cut into pieces by a team of cooks ,

Meat was the centre of attraction with some eggs.

At breakfast all were sitting in a circle to sing a few songs,

Boiled eggs , bread and bananas filled the appetitite for further indulgence to relinquishment and leisure.

The divine paradise gifted us with unending good vibes ,

Playing badminton with friends and hence visiting a nursery nearby.

Strolls in the serenity left us astounded,

The nightangale mesmerised us with its beautiful songs in an amazement.

In a row we all sang songs and played ANTAKSHARI to rejoice,

With a short nap we returned for our abode in a peaceful journey.

How wonderful that picnic was while we clicked pictures ,

The abundant happiness and smiles continue to fascinate us.
