It was the month of March. The weather was quite pleasant. We made a programme to have a picnic on the river Chenab. It was only five miles away from our place. We worked out the little details of this picnic. Different friends had different suggestions regarding the lunch. Some proposed to assign one dish each to one group and to carry the cooked food there. Some suggested to place order for fast food like burgers and sandwiches to avoid any inconvenience. After a long discussion it was agreed that food should be prepared at the picnic spot and a cook be engaged to go with us. That will be a great fun and we will eat the lunch hot. After the decision was taken we engaged a local cook to go with us.
We assigned duties and prepared the menu according to our tastes. At about 9 O'clock in the morning when the sky was overcast, we started. Within an hour, we reached the bank of the river. We chose that point for our pleasure spot which was at the farthest end from where the double bridge of Chenab was visible. We put the things on the sandy bank under a shady tree. Free half an hour we took rest and enjoyed the scene. The water was flowing smoothly. The rays of the run fell on the river water and made it sparkling bright. A few people were boating in the river.
After some time we lit the fire and proceeded to prepare our meal. The cook started his work. A few of us lent him a helping hand. A friend made a tasty salad. At about 12 O,clock we had prepared everything. One of the girls spread the table cloth on the sand and we enjoyed a delicious meal. We had also brought some fruit which served as the sweet dish. After taking the meal we took rest for some time. Some of our friends, however, busied themselves with playing chess while a few listened to the music cassettes we had brought along with us.
We also enjoyed the stroll along the bank. Some girls sat on the bank of the river and splashed water on one another. The sun had now started descending. It appeared like a red ball, and its crimson rays on water and sand made the spot amazingly beautiful. The people bad started going back. We decided to return as the darkness was fast approaching. This was one of the most beautiful days of my life.
