MTK celebrates annual picnic


The Men-Tsee-Khang (MTK) community here in Dharamsala celebrated its annual picnic on 15 & 16 October. The two-day annual picnic saw the MTK staff engrossed in fun & frolic, forgetting all their mundane works and household chores.

Most of the staffs were busy playing cards while others play games such as table tennis. Very few kept their spirit alive in burning midnight lamp with traditional Tibetan Nangma songs and dances to the tunes of dra-nyen (traditional Tibetan guitar).

The party this year wore bit deserted look. Since most of the doctors from the branch clinics were missing this time. Usually the picnic is held right after the founding anniversary in the month of March. Foreseeing scarcity in vegetables in March, the party is postponed till October. It is now scheduled to take place in the month of September or October every year from now.

From adults to the kids, everybody has a blast.
