We have a tradition of going out on a picnic to a garden or farm
when a family member is in the family way. My nephew, Ch. Sridhar and
niece-in-law, Ch. Swathi are expecting their first child. In celebration of
this happy news, my brother-in-law, Sri. Niranjan and sister, Smt. Hemalatha
organised a lovely overnight picnic at a 200-acre farm at Solipur, 65 km.
from our house at Secunderabad, along the Hyderabad-Bangalore highway. Thirty-seven
members of our family circle went there yesterday morning (Sunday, 19th
August) in a caravan of eight Cars. We had a wonderful and memorable time. We
surveyed parts of the huge farm having a beautiful landscape, plenty of fruit-bearing
trees, paddy and cornfields. The farmhouse is beautiful and modern, well-furnished with all amenities and a lovely swimming pool and all facilities for
overnight stays. Being the rainy season we were surrounded by amazing greenery
all around us, the weather was cool, it was cloudy but fortunately, it did not
rain.
We played lots of games like Cricket, Tambola and Musical chairs. A
number of us spent a long time at the Swimming Pool. Between all these
activities there were plenty of snacks, sweets, fruit juices and sumptuous
lunch and dinner. After a comfortable overnight stay, we returned to the city
today, in the afternoon (Monday - 20th August, another holiday due to Ramzan).
The attached photographs are a few clicked with my camera, there
are many more from other cameras which I am waiting to see.
