After a bit of friction and opposition from our BELOVED sir we set out our first picnic - to Punyagiri. We were to go out together for the first time with our classmates; buddies with whom we would cherish memories of a life time.
We assembled at RTC complex in the wee hours of the day. We had a bus booked along with three sumos. All the girls were into the bus along with a few ambitious boys who had clinched the opportunity to interact with them for the first time. The rest of the troop followed in sumos. Lot of energy was exuded in the journey with songs being played and we booing each other at the stroke of every overtake.
As we drove along, the country side seemed wrapped in a sense of ineffable peace. On reaching our destination, we chose a place to sit around and play. We had all the fun that we could. After having our lunch, we set out on our adventurous expedition, holding each others hands and taking calculated paces, careful not to miss our steps. We went past tall shrubs and sloping valleys in small groups making weird noises and communicating. Having spent a few anxious moments, we finally reached the water falls. Each one of us got under the chilled water enjoying its freshness and splashing at each other.
All in all, a perfect ten for the first outing with class in our Engg. Life. This was the stepping stone for various such outings thus far.
