You can plan the perfect picnic, but you can’t predict the weather. The evening witnessed the downpour by the opening of the skies coupled with dust, which neither failed to diminish the zeal of the Players nor the Volunteers. Everyone on the ground continued their games and responsibilities with equal keenness until all games came to an end. TKK Family Picnic commenced with a unique concept and concluded with unpredictable rain showers.
