This Easter weekend we had a fun Easter Egg Huntat the Native Place Guesthouse followed by
a special ‘East Indian’ Easter lunch. We had invited children from Palegaon (
the nearest village) to take part in the hunt.
The children arrived at 10.30
and sat shyly in a group. We invited them to join us blowing up balloons. This
worked as an icebreaker and soon they were all running around helping with the
decorations.
To continue the mood of excitement we played a game - anyone
heard of ‘Mamachya patra haravla’ ? It’s the local version of ‘a tisket a tasket’
a kindergarten game I’ve played myself as a child. Such a simple delightful
game – one could feel the nostalgia as our garden crew and the paragliding crew
spontaneously joined in the fun.
Before we knew it chairs were being called for and musical
chairs was next on the plan – have to say it was so much fun that the Nirvana
Adventures paragliding students and guests also wanted to play
Next came the Spoon and Lime race – Vinod won hands down –
he seemed to have a cheat code of some sort but we never figured it out J .
It was a fun morning and everyone had a great time – we are
inspired to do it again next year
Mark the dates and see that you show up.
