National Picnic Day

   

On International Picnic Day this year, you cannot pack a snack hamper, hop into your car and head to a picturesque area as it is not advisable to step out among the COVID-19 pandemic. But you can definitely celebrate the 'picnic' spirit with friends and family. Get on a zoom call or whatever online chat platform you prefer and connect with your loved ones.

The origin of the word Picnic actually comes from a French word: pique-nique (it means and sounds the act same way but the spelling and the language is the only difference!

International Picnic Day has been celebrated on June 18 for over a decade now. Traditionally, in the Northern Hemisphere, when it's summertime, the day is spent in nature outdoors. In the Southern Hemisphere, a similar day is observed on the first Monday of August each year.

International Picnic Day isn't a public holiday in most countries.

A sea of foliage A sea of foliage girds our garden round, But not a sea of dull unvaried green, Sharp contrasts of all colours here are seen; The light-green graceful tamarinds abound Amid the mango clumps of green profound, And palms arise, like pillars gray, between; And o’er the quiet pools the seemuls lean, Red-red, and startling like a trumpet’s sound. But nothing can be lovelier than the ranges Of bamboos to the eastward, when the moon    l ooks through their gaps, and the white lotus changes Into a cup of silver. One might swoon Drunken with beauty then, or gaze and gaze On a primaeval Eden, in amaze.              ~ Toru Dutt Toru Dutt Place of Birth – Calcutta/Kolkata Span – 1856 – 1877, 21 years Father & Mother – Govin Chunder Dutt and Kshetramoni Family – Rambagan Dutt famil Girds - surrounds Unvaried – monotonous Tamarinds – Hindi –  Imli Abound – Exist; Grow Amid – In the midst of Clump – Clusters Profound – Dark and deep Seemuls – Silk-cotton tree with maroon flowers S
