We reached Okhla within forty minutes and searched as lonely spot under a big tree. We spread a carpet there. The branches of trees were swaying to and fro and were providing us cool breeze and shade.
We sat on carpet and took our breakfast consisting bread, butter, jam and honey. For tea, we have to go to nearby restaurant. With no anxiety, we decided to enjoy picnic by listening songs from translator. One of my companions was a good singer so we decided to hear and enjoy his song. He was good singer so he recited ghazals and popular film song. It has been remarked that everybody does not get a chance to show his worth and ability. As such my friend in spite of being or good singer did not get name and fame even in our college.
My other friends told me that he is a good swimmer and so we decided to take a bath in river Yamuna. My friend jumped into the river and showed us his expertness and feats of swimming. I also enjoyed bath. Later on we started splashing water on each other. After about half an hour of swimming, we came out. We felt happy as we felt free from studies.
