Did you find Lake Minnetonka?

Group Pic
Few days back, I got a shock when I got to know that I have explored only 5% of the earth. I want to keep up to explore the rest area and hence I am roaming now a days, so I am not able to find any time to document every trip.






Foood
Here’s an example of a different experience that I had 2 weeks back. If you are from India, you might have heard Tiffin Party concept, in US it is called as Potluck. People will make dishes at their home and bring em to a picnic spot to eat together. I never visited such functions in India, but with the help of a friend, I was able to join it here. Thanks for that. It’s known as Potluck in US.




Yummy
We were planning for a potluck from quite a long time and finally the day came when we visited Lake Minnetonka-the famous Venue. Dishes were planned in advance, everyone brought one dish, some brought snack others rice, chapati and sweets. My signature dish was different shaped Chapatis and Moat Beans (Sprout Gravy).





Nearby Places
I always wanted to have a parade of Cars as it looks spectacular, and as most of us stay at single place and were going to a same place, it was possible this time. Hence I proposed this before starting, but people didn’t agreed. I was ready on time, but after some time I got to know that I have to pick a family which lives in a nearby location and most funny thing, they weren’t answering my calls, so obviously I was supposed to be late. I went to their place, picked them, put address in my GPS and reached venue in 15 mins. I was searching for people, thinking I would be late, but to my surprise no one reached before me. In fact all of em were roaming around here and there, they visited every place nearby but not the Lake Minnetonka Regional Park, now if they would have followed me, and all of us would have reached on time. Anyways I watsapped my location to the group and then they followed me.

Njoying Water
As soon as everyone reached, we started eating like hungry Indian which makes sense as no one had any breakfast. I must say, I am not a very good cook, but a true eater. Yes, I like to eat and try different dishes. I belong to a city which is known as Street Food capital of India, just type “Indore is known as Foody City” and you will find on WIki. After lunch, first thought came in mind was of sleep. Ha ha ha typical me. But we started playing games like Ramudi-Sita, we will write characters of Ramayana in separate chits and one will be provided to everyone. Ram will be revealing his identity and then he has to find out Sita. If he is not able to do so, then Sita will be punishing him. Punishment can include anything, it’s just like truth and Dare game with a religious touch. Then we started giving a task to everyone, each has to share a funny, good, any story. There were few real good stories.


Last, we explored some nearby spots of park and then headed back. Overall trip was good, planning to have more potlucks soon.
