STAFF PICNIC
The school staff went for
their annual picnic to Boscowadi, Uttan on Friday, the 17th February 2012. It
was a long and winding way going down to the beach and were welcomed with music
and coconut water to refresh our picnic spirits!
Boscowadi managed and
maintained by the Salesian community of Bosco Boys’ Home, Borivali, is well
laid out with lush green surroundings, coconut plantations, a beautiful
swimming pool, a hall and of course also the beach.
The teachers after having
toured the place, were offered a beautiful burgee pav breakfast with chutni
sandwiches.
After breakfast some went for
a stroll to the beach while others began a game of throw ball, the ladies
versus the gents. Of course the gents won in spite of the ladies trying their
best to confuse the referee with the scoring.
At 12.30 pm we went in for
karaoke singing with Pamela leading the singing and all taking turns. It was
wonderful getting back to the oldies and some of the staff took to the floor to
dance and jig their way around.
In the meantime starters went
around and indeed ‘all was good’. The lunch too was excellent.
Some, a very few in fact,
ventured to swim in the sea and some in the swimming pool to cool the spirit in
the already chilly waters.
The games, dog-n-d-bone; dumb
charade etc were organized by Miss Valerie and it was fun watching all
participate and enjoy themselves.
All good things come to an end
and so did the day of fun-n-frolic. The evening ended with kanda bhajee and a
cup of chai and a trek up the slope to catch the bus.
We look forward to our next
picnic next year!
