Did we hear that right? Winters are definitely the time to be outdoors! Yes, at least till the foggy weather sets in. Taking this forward in the form of a community exercise, Tricity Picnics organised a get-together that aimed at spending some quality time outdoors with loved ones and others.
Speaking about the experience, Upasna who runs Tricity Picnics says, “We have been doing private picnics for some time now but we really wanted different people to come together and have fun without any inhibitions. This is why we organized a community picnic.”
The picnic came at a price though: Rs 1300 per adult and Rs 650 per child. Included in this extravaganza was brunch, a live pottery wheel experience, fun games and interactive activities, in addition to fun with farm animals and other such interactions which were aimed at bringing children close to Nature.
Sharing about her previous events, Upasna says, “We hosted a Children’s day picnic at Leisure valley in November. We organized a private picnic for the family of a client, Mr Dinesh Mohan at Machaan farms and many more”. Coming up soon is a Christmas movie evening.
About Tricity Picnics
Speaking about her initiative, Upasna shared her journey with CityWoofer “I was always a creative student but destiny had other plans, I did engineering and served in the corporate sector for 10 years,” she shares nostalgically. She wanted to break free from her sedentary job but had no valid reasons to convince her family. “One day my son’s teacher called me up to discuss his behavioural pattern and how he needed me. I got my calling and I put in my resignation papers without asking my family,” she adds. No one was happy, except her and her son.
“I started exploring the options which do not require sitting inside the four walls. It is said that things meant for you, find you one day. So I got to know about picnic parties held in foreign countries, rather than the usual restaurant parties. I loved the idea because I am an outdoor person and moreover, my own childhood picnic memories reinforced my decision,” Upasna says, about how she came across the idea.
“The next challenge was the partner. I approached my brother and his wife and it became a team of three. We cater to Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali, so the name,”she adds.
‘Tricity Picnics’ finally took shape in June 2021. “Lockdown was almost over and we were getting a good response. And now, after one and a half year, there is no looking back,” Upasna signs off.
