Mango Party


Saharanpur (26 June) :  Had a wonderful picnic-cum-mango party-cum-meeting today. Rain dance, with thandai, pakode, fruit chat, followed by full lunch. Children had a gala time jumping and laughing in water pond and then horse riding. Dr. Upadhyay and Sh. Rampal Agrawal gave a talk. Children participated in drawing competition. Good work done, dear organizers !


Nearly thirty five families joined in this great family get together. Rains, though considered to be a spoil sport, added to the enjoyment. Those who shied away from the pond had no problem in getting totally wet in the rain. When people got tired of eating mangoes, they switched to dance and those who were tired after shaking their body, took a dip in the pond or resumed eating, rather sucking mangoes again! No one could really count how many mangoes one had sent to his / her stomach and how many glasses of thandai had wetted our already wet throat ! Thank you Pankaj Bansal for the great venue and thank you Bharat Vikas Parishad Greater for the nicely organised event. Just wait for the photos (but the photos also are wet in the rains!)


The venue was - Bansal's Farm, Chilkana Road. Guests of Honour - the famous environmentalist Dr. S.K. Upadhyay and the Osho Dhara Meditation Practitioner Sh. Ram Pal Agarwal (Tagore Shishu Niketan). While Dr. Upadhyay suggested that SAVE GANGA movement be strengthened, Mr. Agarwal described for the benefit of everyone how they can achieve success, health and wealth in their life through simple techniques of meditation and pranic mudras (the special postures of thumb and fingers of hands for a few minutes everyday).


Even when Sundeep Sharma's bike got its tyre bursted while way back to home, it was a new dimension to the already adventurous day. How the bike was uploaded to a tractor trolley with the help of five people (one of them wonder doll of Saharanpur Phalguni Bhardwaj !) was worth seeing. As if it was not enough our comedian Sundeep Sharma also uploaded himself on the trolly and sat beside the lying bike as if he was taking his ailing bride to a nearby hospital.
