I used to pray god for my exams to get over soon…..so what was planned for the summer……

Dance classes? / English building classes? / Robotics workshop? / summer camps?

Well…A BIG NO!

2 full months of oneness with nature!

As a kid summer time was the best time of the year……our locality had at least 10 other kids like me …jobless in holidays and looking to just wander here and there….

We spent a lot of time in the open ground ….

Summer hitting us hard on our heads

Running around with bursting sweat Beads

Pooling all our friends for a fun Deed

Racing against the wind at top speed

Wandering mercilessly in paddy field

Playing endlessly not even bothered about our need

Taking rest under the grandpa sowed seed

We swayed with the branches

Danced with the peacocks

Raced with the rabbits

Grew with the seeds

Rested like a lion

Enjoyed the rain, hot sun, fresh air & lovely breeze……..

Those wonderful carefree days! Summer time was more like Eat, play, sleep & be merry!

Today kids hardly get this enriching experience (have few reasons to support them though …like its getting too hot now a days) – the moment the school gets over they are put on vacation camps / summer camps…running tighter schedules that schools …

Do we even give them a chance to be free & one with nature?
