Tomorrow Iam organizing a picnic for 125 people...
Every year 25 people turn up, my luck 125 people are turning up..It is like organizing a big party but you have to entertain 125 strangers...
It was fun organizing a picnic...yesterday I went and bought 125 plates, bowls, 125 glasses..and I was finding myself all confused foam plates or recycled plates, plates with partition or plates without partition, foam glasses or plastic glasses , will 125 glasses do or people need more, will they want to eat with fork or spoon, how many paper towels each person would need..endless questions for a libran girl like who takes time to make decisions..there are too many choices in US for everything..
then what games..
finally I zereoed on trashbag race, water baloon race, baloon balancing race, tug of rope, antyakhshari, cricket,bingo, chits with funny messages which people have to do.. now what funny things can I make people do with the chits..so I thought and thought and came up with this list..
Do your happy dance, you sad dance, your funny face, say yerralorry 10 times fast,fav. film dialogue,sing an indian song, define India in one word, some filmi dialogue, your fav.joke,makeup a funny name ..
hope this will be funny when people try to do it..
there will be face painting for kids...
with so many people organizing events is hard..so divide them into groups, let them race, winners get prizes as groups..
I even got 2 first aid kids incase someone gets hurt.
ordered food from restaurant, pitch in is also there..
food, entertainment, keeping them busy making sure they are having fun is the key..
Iam so glad my whole team is helping me out...everyone is doing a lil bit of everything..assigning people responsibilities is key..
Iam also running a bone marrow drive, so I had to train my volunteers, get kits and everything..
two goals in one event..funpicnic and bone marrow drive...
I am looking forward to playing cricket myself tomorrow, hope the guys let me play cricket...
I have to see how it goes tomorrow.. Iam gone from 9am to 5pm to make arrangements , get the picnic going and clean up after picnic..the whole day is gone..
but on the whole it was a wonderful experience though it took some of my spare time away and Iam a lil exhausted..
cant wait to get it done..
what else
went to temple this morning with friend..they made spicy telugu khana at the temple..I met a lot of friends at temple, so caught up with everyone. sometimes temple makes me feel less home sick..it feels like home at the temple..
nite looks relaxing..I have to make yogurt rice for the picnic as my pitch in...but after I should be free.
so looking forward to reading, writing, crosswords, may be watch an odd movie and have fun..
