If you hear the word summer what do you think? It will be so hot, can’ t go outside or take rest, but for me this all tension will not be there, I will be like a free bird I can go anywhere I want to. Do you know why? Because I will go to my village. My village is near Villupuram. From Kottur to my village it takes 7 hours. I know it is a long journey but to enjoy my vacation I have to travel far.
In my village, most people there are my relatives. They are fun to be with but some people are rude. When you enter my village, first thing you will see is the idol of a God. When I get down from the bus, enter the village, I pray to God.. We go directly to my uncle’ s house, first. When we walk to my uncle’ s place, my relatives on the way say“ Come mahalakshmi, eat and go!”. Mahalakshmi, my mother promises to come to their house. In my village, my mother’ s nickname is“ Manu” because during her childhood she used to eat sand.
My sister had got married and lives in the village with three children. Whenever we enter to my sister’ s house we will forget our stress play with my sister’ s children. We even forget to eat. My aunt’ s house is also in that village it is opposite of my uncle’ s house. I jump and play between these two houses. My sister and my uncle do farming, they have 8 cows and 20 goats in total. It is so difficult to manage them but one good thing about it is that every day we get to drink pure and healthy milk.
Exactly at 10 o’ clock, my friends Dhanalakshmi, Dhanai lakshmi and I go to our farming field. It is 2 km far and we walk to the field. It will be hot to walk but the fresh air, cows mooing, birds singing and people working makes me glad and the walk pleasant. My friends share their experiences about their school, farm and sometimes their feelings. I share about my city, school and my friends. While walking back home I will learn something new everyday because my friends will teach me something new.
During summer, fields are filled with lots of watermelons. My brother will ask the field owners and take a watermelon for each one of us. We sit in my sister’ s house or in the farming field and cut it and eat. In our field my friends and I play hideand-seek.
All my days at the village fly away in a minute. For me, summer vacation are wonderful days which I will never forget. My friends always say that“ I don’ t like summer vacation” but I am the only one who says“ I like summer vacation”.
So, I ask everyone to your village and enjoy your life in summer vacations. This happiness you will not get anywhere else.
