“I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket…” — Roy Lichtenstein
Life’s daily grind turns us into robots. Picnic = reboot button.
One weekend, my friends and I escaped to Head Balloki Farmhouse—40 km from Lahore—for a day of pure joy.
Here’s the full story: fun, food, and life lessons under the open sky.
The Plan: From Idea to Bus
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Idea | “Let’s go somewhere!” |
| Destination | Head Balloki—lakes, greenery, fish |
| Time | 9:00 AM departure |
| Group | 25 friends + 1 teacher |
Breakfast: Paratha roll at college canteen. Prayer for safe journey—then nonstop masti began!
Journey Highlights: When Broken Speakers Became a Blessing
- Bus sound system? Dead. 😩
- Our solution? Live concert! 🎤
One friend sang Atif Aslam hits—whole bus clapped. 1 hour felt like 10 minutes.
“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.” — John Keats
Arrival at Head Balloki: Nature’s Grand Welcome
| Sight | Reaction |
|---|---|
| Crystal lake | “Wow!” |
| Green fields | Phone cameras out |
| Cool breeze | “This is paradise!” |
First stop: Boating
- Rowed like pros
- Splashed water → full clothes drench
- Laughed till stomachs hurt
Tube Well Adventure: Cold Water, Hot Fun
- Spotted a tube well pond
- One brave soul jumped → chain reaction
- Even the shy ones got pushed in 🤣
- Winter chills? Ignored.
Result: Soaked, shivering, smiling.
Lunch: Fresh Fish Feast
| Dish | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Fried fish (specialty) | 10/10 |
| Cold drinks | Ice-cold perfection |
| Fruits | Mangoes, guavas, bananas |
Ate under a mango tree—felt like royalty.
Bonus Activity: Pig Chase (No Guns, Just Guts)
- Saw wild pigs
- Chased with sticks → epic fail
- Captured on video—future blackmail material
Moral: Some hunts are just for stories.
Return Journey: Sunset & Songs
- Left at 5:00 PM
- Sun painted sky orange-pink
- Sang Coke Studio on loop
- Reached Lahore by 7:00 PM
Hearts full, phones dead, clothes wet.
