How You Spent Your Last
Vacation
Vacation is the time when a
student can get an opportunity for some change from routine life which is
generally very boring.
Mountains and hills are a
fascinating sight. I have always longed to see them. During the last summer
vacation, I got an opportunity to visit Shimla. Only a month before, my uncle
who is an officer in the H.P. Forest Department, was transferred there. He
invited me to spend my summer vacation there with him.
It was the month of May, when it
was very hot in the plains. I alongwith my friend, Rakesh, went to Shimla. We
went there by train which passed through many dark tunnels.
As we reached Shimla, my uncle
was already there to receive us. He at once took us to his house. We were
simply charmed at the conducive climate of Shimla. There was no more heat of
the summer. It was rather cold there and we had to be careful about wearing our
clothes well.
At Shimla we had a routine for
alternating work and rest. We, both the friends were very weak in studies.
Particularly, we abhorred English as a foreign language. We wanted to make up
our deficiency in this subject. We had brought our books with us. Fortunately
for us, my uncle is an M.A. in English Language and Literature. He helped us a
lot in our studies. At the end of a month we realized that we no longer dreaded
this foreign language.
We took regular exercise and had,
morning walks at Shimla. Occasionally, we went for sight-seeing. The green trees,
colourful flowers, dancing springs and floating clouds and occasional showers
kept us refreshed. One day before our holidays were to be over, we returned to
the hot plains. But the memory of Shimla is still fresh in our minds.
