Chapter 5: The countdown started...

Count down started...
The days were approaching....Yogesh repeatedly asked me to convince gaurav goel to come to picnic...i felt so bad....since with full faith i invited goel and he rejected my invitation. We even went to the extent of asking the Andhra guys in our company...who actually thought hard ...and hence did not come with us.

Yogesh tried hard a lot, to convince, them....he literally became a salesman....giving them offers....he even went to the extent of offering free invitation to Abhijeet patil....but "hmmmmmmmm...." it was of no help! :(

For Goel, i seriously wanted him to come to the picnic, from the bottom of my heart. Therefore i thought i will take help from gals - Kajal and Sridevi to persuade him. But, later it dawned to me, whatever i was doing was not right! I was unneccessarily dragging two jubliant energetic gals of our company who were not a part of picnic to help us. Apologies to them. Also, thanks for all the mails in helping me persuade Goel. But alas....Goel did not budge ..i cannot compel him...infact i cannot compel anyone...i was not only feeling embaraced, but also bad and sad....i lost hope and faith in him. On his be half like a fool initially i gauranteed everyone that GOEL will come for cock sure....but he screwed me in the end! :(

Lastly on thursday we all started discussing what to bring and what not to bring...etc., we all were very excited! And then Friday 11th April dawned, i shaved a day before, donned the best shirt i had so far...and packed my bag....bag given by company on Diwali...to my surprise, everyone brought their same company's bag with them, and it was difficult, in identifying "kiska bag kidhar hai?"

Our picnic by now had become very famous, we got tremendous support and encouragement from other friends, i would like to mention their names:-
1)Kajal
2)Sridevi
3)Basker (...he did not come but wished us goodwill for our picnic)
4)Barnali (...barnali had been to MJ before, and wished us a lot to njoy MJN and the fort)
5)Raphael
6)Kavita (...she also suggested us some spots and hotels to eat...gracias seniora)

... thank u guys! :)
