The HR team at Infy BBSR went on a picnic to Jahaniya Pir (Near Kakatpur), today. It is a famous dargah situated about 3 hours from the capital city of Orissa, on seashore.
13 of us started at around 9 in the morning, in a minibus. Thankfully it a very comfortable one, with push back seats and functional AC. Had packed breakfast to have it on the way. Breakfast consisted of "Bara, samosa, ghugni, dahi bara, Malpua and fruits". Reached the sport at around 12:30 PM. Had taken a cook with us, who immediately got down to the task.
After frolicking in the crystal clear blue water of the beach, for almost an hour, we sat down for lunch, which consisted of an elaborate affair, Pulao, Mutton curry, Prawn curry, Paneer, Chilly mushroom, dal, papad etc, we started for the return journey at around 5:30 PM. Reached at BBSR at around 9:30.
Incidentally, I used to frequent this particular spot as a child with my family. But this was the first time, I came with my office colleagues. The place has undergone tremendous changes over the years. Shops have sprung up everywhere, muddy village road has been replaced with pukka road, but what remains unchanged is the cool and calm beach, still clean...thankfully!
