We organized our Annual Humrahi Picnic on 7/27/24.

It was at the Dean park in Shrewsbury .

The weather was “Goldilocks perfect” just the right amount of Sun with a gentle pleasing soft breeze . The Gazebo at the park was nicely decorated with clusters of white and pink balloons interspersed with crepe paper streamers!!! The American and Indian flag with our Humrahi banner was fluttering softly and conveying the message of integrity in diversity!!

We started the day with some introduction and then dived right into playing some group games like passing the parcel ,a modified version of Antakshari .All our senior friends were engaging with full vigor and enthusiasm and exhibited lively and positive spirit when it came to things like “walk like a duck “ or “ do a chicken dance “ as part of the tasks in the game.

Narayan ji and Sharat ji were skillfully managing the music and sound department and helping with the games.

We had an extensive array of delicious snacks and desserts.There was chick pea salad , pasta salad ,Dhokla, sandwiches , poha ,laddoo, brownies and biryani just to name a few . Of all the different culinary delights Sev Usal was by far the most popular choice among the attendees!

The whole atmosphere of fun and play and Masti was quite tangible!!

Everyone enjoyed and savored the sun and fun through the 3hrs we were at the Dean park .

The incredible turn out we had for our picnic is a testament to the growing popularity of our ISW Humrahi clan. We are a family and we are growing . Lots of gratitude to the volunteers that helped with the organization and execution of the plan . And of course heartfelt appreciation for all the people who attended .we look forward to see you all soon
