Old 'Sunny' days


'Summer holidays' is, i guess, one of the most favourite terms of every person since childhood. It has that special significance in life of every one of us, which we understand, hard way, when we get old. I remember my summer holidays from childhood, coloured with mangoes, wet with occasional thunder storm, sticky with dried drops of ice creams and lousy with long sleeping hours. Almost every summer holiday we use to go to my grand parents house and all cousins would meet and have loads of fun for next couple of weeks. Getting up early morning with grandmothers voice, having breakfast lazily, playing inside house to avoid heat, late lunch with aamras, post-lunch sleepy discussions about what to do in evening, early dinner and late night stories before sleep, all these made each day of that vacation. Though I had been a bit of asocial kid, I always enjoyed being a part (passive!) of these activities. As we all grew up, we all got engaged in different activities and could not get together due to different reasons and those fun-filled vacations, with all of us together, remained just as a childhood memory. We still try to take time out of the (self-made) busy schedule, but its impossible to get all of us together. I still wonder if not a week, but we get to live a day from that summer holiday. I know I want to spend it exactly same way, forgetting everything and living freely with no worries. What do you want this summer?

  2. Most kids have the same summer holidays. My grandparents place was in Haryana, and electricity till date is a huge pain. The rest of the story remains the same as narrated by you.
