The great adrenaline rush

The great adrenaline rush

Well this message was actually meant to be posted on 19th feb nite but I was damn tired that every muscle strip of my body had became numb. And since than everytime I thot of posting , the net speed was too slow to allow me nething as such . This is all abt the last picnic that we had over here .
So here goes the story. Well it started all wid melodramatic scene where in a happy-go scene a villian enters and spoils the party. Here in this case was our very own Asst Reg and our acting HOD. It was like a bad day that day. No doubt we had the permission from our former Reg. S.Das and from our HOD to go to TIkarpada, on the 11th hour of the day i.e on 18th that we can't go so far for the picnic moreover to a palce where there are water bodies. All our requests went to deaf ears and even our acting HOD washed off his hand from taking Even no male faculty was was there to accompany us. Seemed that all the odds were against us and finally a time came when we were discussing abt pulling off the plug abt the picnic. But than from nowhere came Nishant and did the heroic task of calling Samaresh Sir saying either he or we will reciprocate in the same way . So finally we drafted a new application and forwarded thru samaresh sir . Time was around 7.30 and still nothing was done like forwarding a copy to the LH. Seemed time was running out of our hand . Samaresh sir managed to convince Arup sir to accompany us while Sastry sir helped us by forwarding the letter to the LH. Me thot that at that time Angels are drivin the devils. And that marked the beginning of a great day .
On that nite we all got busy getting our stuffs ready. Till that time there were six new entries and we even didn't have time to forward their undertakings. Everything seemed alright but we were still undecided abt the venue like we had the permission to got to Kapilash but we had done our arrangements for Tikarpada.
When me and Lips enquired wid Gol abt the spot , he told tht even he is undecided and that we will take the decision on our way .
After getting everything ready I slept at 4.00 in the morning(Don ask me why so late, cos that was a spl nite for me for some other reason) and Barik woke me at 4.40 am. I mean can U believe this ,I had slept only for 40 mins :(. But somehow I got ready by 5.20 and we went to pick up the gals . But as usual they take too much of time to get themselves ready . So we were late by 15 mins by the time we left the LH.
And from there started the journey and I smashed a coconut which goes by some kind of ritual b4 a long journey, for a safe journey. We left bbsr town by 7.30 and till han Gol had already convinced all the faculties concerned to go to Tikarpada. On the way out to the spot, we danced in the bus like mad, than did some singing(I was rather hummin juz the lyrics). The singing was all the songs that were dedicated by someone to someone (I wud rather term that as leg pulling). It was all Nak and Gol's plan to pull the legs but than Lucky reciprocated by dedicating a song to khushbu from NAK and the song was "Hum Tumpe marte hain". Songs were dedicated to everyone who was even a crush for 1day. This all went till there was no more energy left in our body. I slept for around 30 mins. I just woke up to find that we had travelled in a wrong direction and that too for around 38 kms. By then lucky and lalit had started torturing by their lethal Pj's so went to the back seat to find some solace but that was a blunder. That two hr was a greater torture session initiated by barik, and suported by nak and adyashree.
But somehow we managed to reach the spot by 2.00 PM and it took another 15 mins unloading the stuffs.
I scanned for the spot and it was one hell of a beauty. It seemed as if Mother Nature has carved each and every curve on the mountains in her own hand. It was an awesome scape with dense forest, greeny mountains and a branch of Mahanadi flowing in between .What separated the spot and the mountains was the blue river that had crocs in it. So we never dared to venture into it.
Thanks to the cook who finished the cooking before 5.00 and till than we had played many games like Tug-o-war, balloon dance, and the dog and the ball(or bone?). Our team was the winner in the first and the last while the winner of the dance competition was the team of jassi and swarup.
After that we had our lunch and we left the spot by 6.30. And it took another 5 and half hours for us to reach bbsr. So it was around 12.30 when we reached the LH. We dropped each and every localite at their desired place .During the back journey also they started a song dedication session and played Dumb Charades but I was too tired to continue, so I searched for a comfortable place and slept for around 3 hrs.
In my view ,though I had attended all the picnics, this was the best and the most memorable one with no signs of groupism and where we all enjoyed in a group. Even all the people had worked in a group.Another gud reason was well planning by Rosy and Co. regarding the games. And best reason we enjoyed was that neither we had ne spiritual ( read spirit ritual) nor any doping session. So it was an all round effort by the organisers and I wud say "task well done".Thank U organisers for adding such memorable moment in my life .Three cheers for the organising team of Golak, Lips and Rosy and all the persons involved in making this picnic a great success.
