On a Picnic ... Happy day for Waluj Wockhardians
Wockhardians from the Waluj Plant chose Mumbai's Elephanta Island as the venue for their annual picnic.
About 150 Wockhardians made a memorable trip in October to the Gateway of India. They then proceeded on an hour's journey by sea to the island, only to be treated to an overwhelming exploration of the famous ancient caves. The remainder of the day was spent back in Mumbai shopping, and a visit to the city's favourite Juhu beach. The picnickers enjoyed their time together and were rewarded with wonderful memories of the day.
