A ride to countryside

Returned from a trip to madar lake. Badi. Started out comfortably from home relying on google to drop off sure footed. But suddenly the roads got narrower, not enough to fit our car, the turns got impossibly T shaped and we drove with none of the relaxedness and leisure of the start. Stopped twice only to become aware of the fact that is to be traversed on foot, dipped in stream water. Put the car in reverse gear, hoping that the fact cannot be true and somewhere around is a path which ends in to the lake and there we will get to open our sandwiches, as planned. Started asking around for the right road and came to know that the place we should have gone to was choti madar lake. Not the badi one. The choti one has perfect accessibility. Mourned on our lack of proper research and kept on to reach the wrong place. Reached finally. Also got to see a few other faces besides ours. Straightaway got warned that the place is going to be flooded in a few hours. Opened our sandwiches and clicked some photographs simultaneously. Always kept an eye on the exit and soon started walking towards it. Made a video of us walking through a dense canopy of trees, amongst the shrubs, nearing the end of the shortest picnic ever. Started back the car, drove again through the miniature road-art before emerging on the way back home. 
Welcome home!
