Not the Destination”.

                              

Picnic is very important part of education system and as per my understanding all students are waiting eagerly for the day of Picnic.

Our Department of English also organizes picnic every year. But important thing of this Department is all students will decides that where they want to go. Picnic is planed out by all the students and this time this opportunity is taken by me. At first stage this thing is not very easy to plane out picnic very easily. This thing needs help and I got help from all my friends and from all my classmates. So, first of all I want to thank you all of them.

This time we all are very excited because in a history of Department of English it happened very first time that we arranged picnic at very far place from Bhavnagar. And that places are Diu and Somnath Temple located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat. And because of this all students are very excited for this picnic.

We planed to start our journey on 11th of January 2016 on Monday at 11:30 p.m. in the night,  12th of January 2016 - Tuesday is the day of picnic and we reach back to Bhavnagar on 13th of January 2016 Wednesday in the night around 2 or 3 a.m. this one day picnic becomes picnic of two nights and one day picnic.

We started our journey on 11th of January 2016 on Monday at 11:30 p.m. in the night but our bus reached late at our department we leaved department around 1:30 in the night. Then first we reached Diu in the morning and we take our breakfast there and we saw so many things there like Diu fort, beaches, some temples, some historical places, church, museum etc. we take our lunch there and then we go to beach called Nagva beach and after that we leaved Diu for Somnath.

We reached there in the evening, visited this Somnath Temple famous for Lord Shiva we take our dinner there. We tried to see light and fountain show there but unfortunately that show was canceled and after that we leaved Somnath Temple at 10 p.m. for reaching Bhavnagar. 

We reached Bhavnagar at 5 a.m. in the morning on 13^th January 2016 on Wednesday. This one day picnic became picnic of 2 nights and 1 day picnic.  But as it is said that it’s all about journey, not about destination. We enjoyed a lot and had a great picnic.

At last I want to thank you our Prof. Dr. Dilip Barad  sir for making this trip very happy and awesome. And I am very thankful to Part sir too for his support. The thing is Heena Ma’m is not part of this picnic this time and because of that we missed her so much.

Specially I want to thank all the Boys of Semester – 4 i.e. Ravi Bhaliya, Kishan Kubavat, Nikunj Bhatti, Sagar Ladhva, Nimesh Dave, Milan Parmar and Hitesh Galthariya. That they managed things related to travels and travelers, they helped a lot in managing the things like food and Bus. So, I heartily thanking you to all of you for making this long distance picnic possible without any hurdles.

Thank you to all my classmates and our juniors too. Thank you to all of you for making our last picnic very memorable.
