Sukhna Lake Trip

For those of you who don't know what Sukhna Lake is, it's an iconic lake in Chandigarh. I've lived here for quite sometime now but I've never been to the touristy places like Sukhna Lake, The Rock Garden etc.. My sister has been to The Rock Garden and she says it's amazing. In The Rock Garden they display statues made out of recycled materials, considering that it's basically our trash. Anyways my family and a close family friend have been planning to have a picnic since Spring break started (which was about 11/2 ago...) and we finally did it! My mom has been urging to go out since the break started but I just stayed inside hiding away from the sun, turning my AC on high. Here in India the weather doesn't gradually slip into another season but it just goes straight into it. We still have Autumn and Spring but just for a little while... ( I LOVE Spring it's my absolutely favourite season!)

Sukhna Lake is beautiful. I should've come here earlier. The trees are nice, big and provide a really good shade. We bought lots of food with us, we didn't have a proper lunch but I was stuffed after eating all that brownie, tarts, muffins, cookie and nuggets. The police didn't let us use our scooters at first but after some convincing they let us in. Now the difference between a scooter and a bicycle is the fact that one has a seat and peddles while the other doesn't because really they're both just 2 wheel vehicles. But for some reason the police doesn't let a bicycle in while they let a scooter in...... Though overall it was a great picnic and there was good weather with it too, nice and breezy, not too hot either.

I took pretty much everything that we possibly need even sunscreen and a change of shoes. I like to be prepared. My grandmother is like that she has pretty much everything in her bag, she's got plastic bags, candy, handkerchiefs, food, book, water, even a mini iron (trust me though there's more)... she's like Mary Poppins taking out everything imaginable out of a seemingly small bag. Anyways I thought I got everything except my camera so from now on I'll always bring one every time I go out.
