9th Picnic to Ooty on 12-05-2013 [Sunday]
A picnic can be defined simply as a
pleasure excursion
at which a meal is
eaten outdoors (al fresco or en plein air),
ideally taking place in a beautiful landscape
such as a park,
beside a lake or
with an interesting view and possibly at a public event such as before an open
air theatre
performance, and usually in summer.
Descriptions of picnics show that the idea of a meal that was jointly
contributed and was enjoyed out-of-doors were essential to a picnic from the
early 19th century. Picnics are
often family-oriented but can also be an intimate occasion between two people
or a large get-together such as Friends Picnics, Company picnics, etc.,

lake constructed by John Sullivan, in 1824. The water flowing down mountain
streams in the Ooty valley was dammed to form the lake. The lake became empty
on three occasions when it breached its bund. The lake was originally intended
to be used for fishing with ferries being used to travel across the lake. It
gradually shrunk from its original size giving place to the current bus stand
race course, and the lake park. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation
on behalf of the Tourism Department took the possession of the lake in 1973,
for providing boating facilities as a tourist attraction. [Vetri and Dhatshin] pedaling with drizzles. We are rounding and enjoy with magic
