The community sisters at Kalyani had a happy day out for a picnic to Monsada. We set out at 8.a.m. in our vehicle, and flew like a jet on the smooth roads as we journeyed along through fresh vegetable markets and squares, green fields and small villages, singing, joking and praying too all the way long. At a point on the road we had a very bad odor…holding our breath and noses impatiently. Just then Sr. Margaret blurted out ‘This is Self Love!’ We all burst out in a nonstop of great laughter! On reaching Monsada, the little boarders and sisters gave us a warm and hearty welcome with song and offering us flowers. It was a happy and long awaited joy of both the communities coming as one family. A sumptuous and delicious meal prepared by the community of Monsada  is worth mentioning greatly after which we had “dumb shards’” played, each having to do a forfeit, that made us happy and laugh to one’s contentment. We left the premises thanking profusely Sr. Valsa and the community of Monsada for making this day an enjoyable and happy one for us sisters at Kalyani. We thanked the Lord for favoring us with good weather and his blessings throughout  this day out.
