Fun n Food Village

The most memorable place I visited in my childhood was Fun n Food Village ,Gurgaon,at the age of 9,with my uncle's family and his family friends.I was new to the city 'Delhi' and  liked the hustle bustle all around very much.As we children got out of the bus in front of the park entrance,we got so crazy to enjoythe rides,etc. The ticket counter at the entrance was in shapes of different famous cartoon characters of that time , which were attractive for children.We entered and found ourselves on cloud nine ,as we saw huge giant wheels and other rides all around. That was most impressive moment as one could  imagine,standing at a place,how much he has got all around to enjoy. Before we could start on to them, the elders with us asked to first have food instead as it was already afternoon. I thought they will take us to some indoor restaurant which were nearby, but they decided to have lunch on the grass itself .Having food sitting on grass had a very new and amazing experience. After having lunch,we started moving towards the rides.The paved pathways leading to different amusement arenas where one could find everytime a new junction or new space which never got repeated . Besides there were green grass and small trees/shrubs all around. Finally we started going to the rides and that was the most craziest experience I had ever had. In the end, we reached a place which had stone seating on its three sides and a platform in the centre, where people were singing or dance or cracking jokes on mike, in front of the crowd. I felt it to be very interesting as one who once came to the stage , used to forget about the daily routine and did whatever he felt on stage.Now, when I grew old,I realize that it was the first open air theatre I had seen in my life. After that I dont remember anything, we might have come back to our homes.
