A Picnic – (292 words)

Man is a social animal. He is always burdened with the works of daily lives. No time for himself. From morning to night, he works and works and returns home dog tired.

As this is the story of every house, in my family too it’s the same matter. So, last month, we all decided to go on a picnic. Early in the morning we started the preparations and left by 10 am. We reached our picnic spot by 11 am. We had already booked a guest house. It was a delightful place. We had to park our car in the parking lot near the guest houses, then a short walk of about 5 to 10 minutes. Then we boarded a ferry and reached our spot.

It was almost like an island surrounded by a big river. There were many such ‘islands’ in the river with picnic parties on each of them. The river was surrounded by forests all around. We first went towards the river and dipped our legs in it. We enjoyed playing to our heart’s content in the nature’s lap. Fresh air was blowing which we don’t get in the deadly polluted cities.

By noon we were hungry enough to gulp down the delicious food prepared by our moms. Then we rested for some time listening to light music and relaxing, sightseeing the beauty of the sceneries all around us. At evening, we were back to our guest house. We took a little rest over there and began our journey to our homes.

I felt very sad leaving such a beautiful place, but I had to. Still now, the picturesque of the beautiful place is clear and vivid in my memory. It was the best picnic I had ever experienced.
