Holidays

As a student , I eagerly waited for summer vacation which would last two long months.Those were the days, when I watch Chuti Chuti serial in DD1(the only channel in those days).No studies and mostly fun.

The usual routine changes with us getting up late, though usually we get up at 5.00(during school days) but since vacation we will get up at 6.00am.

Each year we visit Calcutta during our summer vacation.I too will be too eager to visit as i love the greenary and people taking bath in ponds all over the places in Calcutta.Though our results got declared, and our vacation of two months starts, my father would buy the books for the next class and we would carry it with us to Calcutta.Daily after getting up at 6.00am in Calcutta me and my brother had to study the new books(so that we know little bit about our new courses).I hate that as i thought vacation is to enjoy but here i am studying again.Me and my brother will sit in the madur(it is like a mat though it has the size of a large carpet)and would start reading with my father sitting and listening and taking our lessons.The whole thing will stop when my mother would call for our Breakfast.Thats the only time when we study and the the rest of the day is Chuti.

Mostly during my stay in Calcutta i would end up staying in mamarbari(my Uncle's place).They would treat me as a princess as i am the eldest among my cousins.I loved mamarbari a lot as the house is on the roadside with markets all around .I would watch people from all walks of life with various emotions.In the evening the roadside would be full of people who will go to purchase items from shops.Though i remember i didnt like my house(we have our own house in village)as it has not much people and not modern environment and all my father's side cousins are not much close to me.

Sometimes when i remember the days when we used to visit calcutta during vacation it was real fun as the stay was more, and being small the love was more.As compared to now when i visit calcutta it would last only maximum a week and with full of responsibilities.I really miss those long sweet holidays.
