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.

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.

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.

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.
