Chapter 2: Planning

Planning...
I came up with the idea of picnic, with full hearted support from Swapnil Tayade and Sandesh. We started looking out for people who can come along with us...and here is the list of people we asked and thought would come with us:-

Omkar (myself)
Swapnil Tayade
Abhijeet Patil
Krishnendra Singh
Sunil Mahadeshwar
Amar Seth
Yogesh Salunkhe
Sandesh Satam
Prashant Nimbalkar
Ganesh Pathak
Basker Nadar
Gaurav Goel
Pawan Brokar
Sachin Gharge
Gaurav Pandit
Sorabh Sethi

In all we planned out that 16 of us can go for picnic, but the moment we asked, there was an amazing array of responses:-

Abhijeet:- "Chal naa kahin jaaten hai ...tum log decide karo....mai aaunga!"
(...this was initially...and as usual, he will never take any responsibility or help others to work collectively, he only expects from others...that others will do it from him)

Amar:- "Aree...nahi re ...pooblem hai...mereko possible nahi hai yaar! ... meri shaadi hui hai...thoda kaam hota hai!"
(he pronouces "PROBLEM" as "POOBLEM")

Abhijeet:- "hmmmm......hmm....ammm..."
(...wierd isn't it?)

Krish:- "Aaaaaaa.....kidhar jaaeyenge...lekin ladki log nahi chahiye!"
(...when he says "Aaaaaa" it sounds like some old wooden door of some old haunted haveli is opening slowly)

Prashant:- "Baghto....jamla tar last minute la honar re"
(...he is also married ... :) )

Ganesh:- "Chalel naa....chal jaauya ...maala kahi problem nahi...pan kuthe jaanar?"
(...and he says this as fast as possible in Jalgaon accent)

Sunil:- "chal ...mi ready ahe! ....Aaplya company chya conference chya agodar jaaun yeu!"

Yogesh:- "arey boss!....bas kya....all time ready ....kidhar bol.....murud, janjira, alibaug chod ke koi bhi spot bol!"
(since he knew all these places so well, that he could guide us blind-folded....this is what he claims....we can only laugh ...lolz !)

Sandesh:- "Aapan naa...mast beach var jaau!"

Gaurav Goel:- "haan...chal!"

Gaurav Pandit:- "Arey nahi re bava.....problem ahe....vadlana bara nahi....mi weekend la punya la asto!"
(...initially we all thought he is giving this as excuse to not come with us and spend time with his girl friend....but we all are sorry, gaurav and apologies to you.)


Sunil:- "arey......mulin nahi naa yenar picnic laaa?"
(...he was scared when he asked this question)

Sorabh:- "dekhta hun....aann....ek min muze check karne de...ann....nahi re possible nahi hai ...mera exams hai us din!"

Abhijeet:- "aaa....aree mera fix nahi hai.....tum log muze consider maat karo! mai mostly gaaon jaaunga!"
(...observe how he is changing his answers gradually)

Sachin:- "support kaun tera baap karega.....mai nahi aa sakta....sandesh yeto ahe naa ?...maag tula problem kay ...chutiya!!!"

Gaurav Goel:- "Arey omkar, mai nahi aa sakta, mereko do din bore ho jaayega tum logon ke saath....mai frankly tere muuh pe bolta huun!..dekh mai tere peeth peeche kuch nahi bolunga....waise us din bus mai aur yogesh discuss kar rahe the...kahan fas gaye omkar aur tayade ke plan mai yaar? shit! ....but tu ye sab yogesh ko maat bol...usko ye bhi mat bol ke mai naahi aa raha hun! ....aggar tune usko bola ke mai nahi aa raha hun...to woh bhi nahi aayega!...ek din ka hota to mai aata re!....lekin please mai nahi aa sakta!"


Basker:- "nahi re...maat maat....nahi ....aree nahi....abhi to jaa ke aaya mai......nahi to chod woh...mai nahi!"

Yogesh:- "arey bhai log....kya picnic ka update? .... kya plan kiya ?"

Ganesh:- "areee tyacha kay mahite ahe ka....amhala khup kaam ahe re...Bhushan ordel mala.....late hoil mi nahi re yeu shakat!"

so this was sequential responses of the people we asked for picnic,...and later following people dropped out and only few came...here is the list:-

Final members:-
Omkar
Swapnil
Yogesh
Sandesh
Sunil
Krishnendra
Pawan..........he was the only guy who until last minute did not say a word, or replied to mails....but came to the picnic and njoyed to his fullest extent...hats off to you dude!

Drop outs:-
Gaurav Pandit (genuine reason)
Prashant Nimbalkar (excuse)
Amar seth (excuse)
Gaurav Goel (excuse)
Abhijeet patil (a seemingly genuine reason ...but we doubt that it was an excuse!)
Sorabh (genuine reason)

This final member list was finallized only at the last moment before going to picnic.
