SUMMER SOMETHING MORE THAN HOLIDAYS

SUMMER SOMETHING MORE THAN HOLIDAYS Summer, irrespective of geographical location brings a special feeling to every being, For plant kingdom, it’s the season on rebirth. For employees, it’s the time of financial year end, for some people its all about the disgusting heat, fatigue etc… In India it is the time for cricket fans to enjoy the season of their favourite sports at its peak. After all this it is the favourite mate for school going children in India. It is the most ambient season for them to enjoy themselves, witness the beauty of nature just after its reincarnation through spring. • 10 month of waiting, lots of planning and thousand and one day dreams. Finally yield them a 2 month vacation which according to me, is neither just a time which abandons then learning process as many think it. Summer “ if used to its complete potency” will surely contribute towards upgrading one’s competence and also help to strengthen and build his\her personality. Summer provides children with perfect atmosphere to exploit everything from their childhood. It enhances their physical fitness. It’s a summer which allows families to plan trips, explore the richness of our land and also embrace inclusive thoughts. If there is time where exchange of thoughts and ideas happen intensively, its this time .After feeding the children with ideas all over the world and infinite facts ,its very important that we provide some time to express themselves. When we hear to exciting stories that our elders told they would enjoy every single day, any normal kid would definitely feel that he/she must reach it at least cheering their time. Yes, its also an important thing not to forget that parents in India prefer to put their children in new environment, to give them sum new experiences, what better place would we children get than out grandparents house. That’s why they say “grandchildren are last friends for grandparents, whereas the grandparents are the first friends for grandchildren” both demands each other need during that stage in life. Its not just an emotional sentence, but a practical thought process to be honest. Grandparents during the fag end of their life require light thoughts, pure emotions and a satisfactory feeling whereas children require thoughts of experience which blends greatly with already existing excitement in them and help them in being better personalities. Therefore, there is no doubt that, summer in India is not only about season or holidays but it’s the season of happiness and growth of the children . But now under changed circumstance, I see lot of dullness and underuse of summer. The reason I feel why it is so is, the discussion between rural and urban children who meet once annually is never about their cultural and lifestyle difference which once used be, but now, it is largely about present social media trends. But you may think what’s wrong with social media ? I am a large believe of the story that right and wrong gets decided based upon situations. So, too much indulgence of young minds in social media may make them broader and same with their thoughts, but when we look at the percentage game, we clearly observe it the risk of the being influenced by it in an unwanted way. So, to sum up the summer, the bottom line it would like to highlights is, in spite of the fact that we live in 21th century’s tech-world, its important for us to provide good amount of real world experience which is not only for recalling ,but, as I see them, they play an important role in forming potent personalities. We have seen it in the history that people who have strong emotions in their childhood have done wonders to the world. So, now at the far end of this summer, I request everyone { including me} to look back at the things we did and take some lessons to make next one better. Let our next summer be a summer of joy. Hereby, I end my note with a thank to summer for its has given me.
