I have been wanting to go for a picnic with my friends for a while. I have mentioned this to Mummy a few times but then either I would forget about it or she wouldnt remember.
Yesterday, when I was on my way back from school, I remembered the picnic again. I quickly told my friends Ved, Rebant and Sanat about the idea. They all were very excited and agreed. We agreed when we would meet and where.
As soon as I reached home, I told Mom also, lest I forget.
In the evening, I got Mom to pack a few of the junk-food packs that Papa had got (kurkure, chips, cheese balls). I took 4 of them as there were to be 4 of us. Rebant and I were the first to reach. We waited for Ved who took his own sweet time to come. And finally Sanat arrived as well.
First we sat down in the B Wing lobby and opened up our tiffins. Just then some older girls came by and wanted to take our tiffins. We tried telling them to shoo off, but they wouldn't listen. So we got up, went across to the play-area and parked ourselves there. Immediately, a swarm of young kids started buzzing around us and disturbing us.
We soon got fed up, packed our stuff and decided to go to the garden on top of the gym. We sat on one of the dry patches and finished our picnic food. It was a lot of fun. However, our joy was shortlived as a security guard came along and told us that kids were not allowed here. Ved tried to shoo him off, but the security guard would have none of it. I decided to go down the stairs and the others followed.
Having finished our food, we started playing pakda-pakdi in the play area. Soon Pranav (from our AVM van), Vedant and Sidhant also joined in. I didn't want them to join because again they will be mean to us and Rebant doesn't like it. However, everyone (including Rebant) said majority wins and got them into the game.
They immediately said that they wanted to play the racing game and not pakda-pakdi. Reluctantly I agreed and laid out the rules of the game. There were to be 3 zones - safe zone, danger zone and ultra danger zone. If someone lost in the ultra danger zone they would be out of the game for 1 week. I explained each of the rules very clearly and very carefully and they all kept saying ok, ok.
As we started playing, first Pranav started being mean to Rebant. And Rebant started crying. I went to him and said - "I told you so!!"
Then something else happened in the game. I reiterated the rule. However, they kept saying that I had never said such a rule. And then again they said majority wins. I got really upset, but I did not cry. I decided to stop playing with them and come back home. They wouldn't let me!!
And then Pranav started kicking me on my ankles. I jumped to avoid and make him miss. Then the others also joined in - Ved, Sanat, Vedant and Sidhant. Even Rebant started doing so. I got very very upset and came back up. I tried very hard to avoid it, but I did end up crying a little.
I am only glad that I lost the race (purposely) and now wont have to play this silly game for the next 1 week.
