I have traveled widely in the last 60 plus years and I have been to both the US and the erstwhile USSR and also to UK , China and to the Middle East . Within India also , thanks to my career in the Army , I have been to all the states of the country . But , I still remember my first ever picnic from our school way back in 1950 .
I was part of the Boy Scouts Batch in my school and our Scouts Master took us for a picnic cum study tour by bus to a destination 10 miles away to a rocky area called ” The Pandava Rocks ” . The legend says it was a place where the Pandavas camped during their banishment from the kingdom when the whole place was a thick forest . On top of a rock ,there is an impression of a sari which is believed to be that of Panchali , the wife of the five Pandavas .
We really enjoyed the outing and understood the historical importance of this heritage site.
