Shilpa KarhikSummer Holidays !!!

When the long-awaited summer holidays finally appear, those who are no longer children experience the flood of memories of days gone by...........I remember how as a student i would eagerly wait for this time of the year.Holidays were fun...just relaxing,reading a book or two,watching movies ,meeting friends but more importantly no studies! I always loved the fact that school never took place during that season. Since there was no school, that meant that I had about two months of free time .. I wouldn’t have to wake up early every morning to go to school. No home -work and no time tables..
As children, we were free; free to daydream, free to spend our time doing what we wanted to do, free to believe anything was possible; but as we grow and get older, our freedoms change and our responsibilities grow heavier. It’s ironic how what you enjoy doing as a young child are the exact things you dream about doing again as a young adult.
From little kids to grown adults, summer has many meanings. Kids look forward to summer and grown-ups just look at it as more work to do around the house. That’s just the way it is. One of the best memories I have of is the trips to places near and far...Meeting relatives and friends was an annual affair not to be missed .Visits to Grandma's house were fun ....
It was not so much where we went... but the journey getting there! ..Traveling through the scenery instead of over it, being able to stop frequently to visit big and small towns/villages on the way, enjoying the journey as much as the destination.
These days Parents are queuing up to enrol their little ones in the umpteen hobby classes and theatre workshops that have sprung up in the neighbourhood.While vacations provide a platform to children to learn many new things ,Holidays are those rare instances where families can utilise the opportunity to bond and spend quality time..
