Lahey-Lahey Picnic - 6th January 2006 - Sayeed kas lens - 2

The Best Dressed Axomiya of the Day: His suave and manners nothwithstanding I think the pictures Sayeed ka sent and ones you are viewing has a surreal feel to it!

Here is what he has to say about his work:

So here they are, for what its worth. Because as you will see that they did'nt come out well. It at least proves that I am not a great photographer. Evidently I did'nt set the digital camera in the correct way, unfortunately. If you decide not upload them to the website, that's all right. I will understand-- and maybe make me resolve to do a better job next time around. Lets hope the others who had their cameras that day, have some better photographs, and put them on the web even with some more lahey lahey.

Shall We Bihu?: Pulen ka coaxing me to 'get into action' - for once nobody asked me why I wear a 'gamcha' on my head, which was very reassuring! I love the 'poster' effct in this image.

Amar Bihut Amoni Nai: Self left and Wazir Ka 'get into action' and sure enough.......

Never one to Dissapoint you: It was the first time in my life that I 'b-Hood' with Akhter ka (R)

.....we have Bhonty baity 'leading the charge' of ladies -- I am sure we will have some more pix of who else joined in the 'kokal hiluwa'

"Guess who will win the next election": Not sure if Azad bhai (L) (Nasru baity's husband) is discussing politics here -- but this is a great shot of him and Dangka (R) -- as usual bubbling with energy and vitality

Lahey-Lahey Picnic - 6th January 2006 - Sayeed kas lens - 1

Logistic Nightmares: (LTR) Selim, Mahmood ka (Dangka) and Tanvir (Tannu) sorting out the hiccups that came along -- for one we were without electricity for 2 and half hours. Its the only time in the picnic that Dangka 'visibly' panicked!

Heat of Battle: The Axomiya language test for spouses. Notice the seriousness in Ela bhabi's (3R) face and Labloo (4R) with his 'must win' look!

'Supporters' intervene during the result -- but thankfully there was no 'rigging' (not one that I know of...!) :

AND THE WINNER IS....................

Early Hours: Hasan ka busy making a point, Wazir ka smugs for the camera, while Akhter ka busy signing autographs for his granchildren!

Pep Talk: By the time the electricity arrived the news of George da's death had shattered us. Sadness is writ large on Akhter ka's (1L) face, Wazir ka (3R) looks like was enjoying whatever I was delegated to say to create an 'upbeat' mood.

Breakfast: Nellie Baity leading folks to the table

Breakfast: Steaming hot, and everybody made a bee line for it
