Was wondering what to write on and couldn’t think of it
since days :/ okay I was obviously busy enjoying the perks of summer vacations
:D after all, this is the only time I get mom’s food and all the pampering and you see all of us don’t reside at nearby cities to VIT(yeah, that’s where
I am gonna rot the next 3 years). Some lucky chaps run off to their home at
Chennai or Bangalore (I still prefer calling this rather than bengaluru) every
chance they get. Anyway, we do somehow manage to have fun our own ways by not
coming back to where we belong. Now as I thought of what to write, I almost
covered a lot of things I usually go through or I think about or whatever…so
this time I randomly came up with something to write , no nothing about the
presidential elections or the Indian economy downfall…too boring for me to
write and you to read and neither am I writing about Euro2012, you see I have
football knowledge almost equal to zero(yes I agree) and those occasional times
I watch them because of the hot players :P
It’s freaking hot in India and I am glad I am not there to
suffer it all B) and for all of you there,I feel bad, survive the heat! I am
sitting in Lagos(for all those of you reading this don’t know what lagos is,
google it;)!) thank God! *phew* Summer vacations is one LONG,BIG break from
your regular life. Now if you are thinking I am going to write some essay on
summer vacations, I am not. For me summer vacations from childhood were always
a trip to somewhere. I have travelled a lot since my childhood. Every summers
was a chance for me to explore new places and I used to wait for the month of
may because I knew my mom was going to pack bags and my dad was looking for
places to go :D I have almost covered the entire 26 states of India, except for
a few of them, fell short of school years L
There was this one summer where I went to the north covering nainital, mussorie
and further higher to Badrinath, snow in summer a bliss I tell youJ And every time I got
to spend my birthday at different places :P explains my inconsistency. My 18th
I spent in Mauritius paragliding, now that’s more cool than to get drunk :D

| yeah, that is some weird expression i am making there! |
Though not my favourite season but it has still been a great
one whenever I had plans for vacations. This summer I turned 19, no vacations
and just looking through old albums where it was different me. Childhood is one
of the best period of one’s life. How much ever you were beaten up for those
naughtiness, how much ever you were scolded for your low marks(some of us are
still screwed for it:P), how much ever you were told not to do this and that,
but that was one hell of a freedom we had got. Freedom at its height I would
say… College is no doubt fun but not more fun than running towards the swings
and flying high with them, seemed as if we were on the top of the world, those
times when friendship was just about being the best of friends, times when
getting a chocolate for something was considered the greatest reward, times
when the only relationships we knew about was with our family…those times are
never going to come back. We find kids and their stupid activities annoying,
but maybe you were one of those annoying kid. I miss being that free, I miss
those times when all mistakes I did were forgotten saying , “ leave it, she is
just a kid!” An anonymous saying, "today is the oldest you have ever been and the youngest you will ever be", true words!
But after all these years, there is still a small kid within
us who just wants to run wild in the free without any boundaries. I know a
friend of mine who is elder to me by few years in age but is such a kid and
throws all kind of tantrums when it comes to fulfilling demands :P its said,
youth is a state of mind. Be young at heart, and world will be much simpler
than what it is. So unleash the child within you this summer and do something
you last stopped when you were a child with no responsibilities.
Go ahead, open the fridge and grab some chocolates, eat as
much ice-cream you want, go as wild as you can(now many of you, not going
wild that way :P don't read between the lines XD) live life as you used to, and
enjoy your summers like you never did before.
Cheers :D
