With our bags packed and ready for a night at Greenfields, we reached school at 9 a.m and a briefing was given to us.We departed from school at 9:20 a.m and reached the campsite at 10 a.m, where we were warmly greeted by Mrs. Zenobia and her family. We walked on the Osman Sagar Dam, which was only a few minutes from Greenfields. Zenobia ma'am explained to us how the dam-gate mechanism worked and told us of the problems that had occurred due to the reservoir drying up in the early 90's. On returning, we freshened up and then played a couple of games. We went around the farm for a tour where we saw a variety of plants and trees and had lunch of freshly grown farm vegetables. Later in the afternoon, we were divided into two groups, one of which went to the Burma bridge and the other to test their balance and team work in another activity, switching places after everybody had a chance at each. We cooked dinner ourselves. The menu included chicken curry, corn salad, pav and a potato curry. After our dinner we had a bonfire where we danced , sang and in between also took chances at fire-blowing. Though the night was chilly and none of us slept well, it was an unforgetful experience.
