Island Resort

This is about the unofficial office picnic that 20 of us had been to on saturday the 22nd of April 2006. We had planned to go for a picnic about a week in advance. The picnic spot was decided after we guys voted. The choice was a resort in virar or esselworld. Majority votes went for resort and also we got a concession, as one of the females uncle owned the resort. The destination was khanvide near vaitarna some where in thane. The resort name was Island Resort. After deciding over our mode of transport we finally reached an agreement of hiring 2 sumos. We decided to meet the next day at about 7:30 A.M.

I reached borivli station around 7:25 A.M, and i met 3 girls from our office on the platform. We waited and waited for all the guys to come and finally we left around 8:45 A.M. The person who happened to come last was Altaf (who the previous day was like i won't be coming). Kunal was the person who had planned who would be sitting in which sumo. This was done as there were certain females who couldn't tolerate boys drinking in the sumo. The plan went for a toss at the end and around 10 boys sat in one sumo, these included the guys who wanted to drink. The other sumo contained around 8 girls and 2 boys.

On the way, our sumo stopped several places to collect chakna for the drinks. We had kunal, alok, and shrikant doing the necessary arrangements. Jiten who was sitting at the backend of the sumo was almost fultoo tight. I was getting scared he would vomit. We stopped the vehicle and had dheeraj shifting behind and jiten next to the driver. None of the guys in our sumo had been to this place before. We happened to go to virar west and were totally lost. Infact even the people out there were giving wrong directions. The girls in the other sumo reached the picnic spot at around 10:45 A.M. While we guys happened to reach at 11:30 A.M. But the journey was very enjoyable. The girls can hardly argue that the final 5 kms of reaching the resort was like an esselworld ride. Infact with the sounds we were making in the vehicle, the driver was looking confused all the while.

Once we reached the resort, we were informed to have our breakfast immediately. The breakfast was good enough with some idlis, fowa, medu vada and sambhar. Once we had tea, we went to the place where we could change and keep our bags. Last time round i had been to a resort and had not been in water. The entire day i was playing TT and Carom. So the girls were like, don't act sad this time. I had decided to remain in water the entire day and i exactly did that. The first thing we did was to go in the pool and cool ourselves. After that we went to the slides and enjoyed ourselves. How can we forget a girl nicknamed Raju (For all the wrong reasons). She seemed to enjoy all by herself. How can we forget her pole dance.

We were informed at 1.00 P.M to have our lunch. So we went straight out there, and had ourselves enjoying the lovely veg food that was available. Lunch included rice, bhendi vegetable, mixed vegetable, salaad, puri's papads, aamras, etc. The food was really tasty. If my mom could cook such vegetarian food, i would really consider stopping non-veg.

Once we had our lunch, we took some snaps and after a while took a dip in the pool again. This time we started playing some games, like dhamsharas (raju was a expert in this), and something like chinese whispers. It was a good time pass. All the time we were removing snaps and finally as luck would have it the day was coming to an end. We ended our day by having a rain dance. We had a bath and changed ourselves, all ready to leave for the day.

Going back we changed the group in the sumos, it had a mix of both guys and girls. The girls in my sumo were constantly singing and we guys were just enjoying by ourselves. The traffic before we reached borivli was terrible. We reached around 8:30 P.M at borivili. All were very hungry. We decided to have frankies and other stuff just near indraprastha. After filling ourselves we decided to part for the day. It was truly an enjoyable exerience. Hope the people who missed this experience will regret not joining us.
