Summer Vacations

Ahhh well, for some people summer vacations has always been the time when they spend it away....going away to some exotic resorts, going to their native villages... whereas for us... it has always been spending the time in our home... and plz...not at all home bound... there has always been so much to do.. :) and full action packed..

The earliest summer vacations which I remember are from the early nineties... in UBL Flats... the days were spent playing school school, saib saib, chupan chupayee (hide n seek), tip top, cho cho... and so many other activities... and offcourse visit to the zoo...safari parks...and so many other places... :) and offcourse the picnics..

hahahahaha... and I remember the last few days, when we used to sit down and cover the copies with brown paper and plastic cover, naming/labeling the copies and completing the sixty days handwriting....both english and urdu... and the St Peter's van... so many good memories..


Moving ahead... the summer vacations were still action packed... the movies, the cousins coming over... playing different kind of games...the cycling around the area... and picnics ... and watching the movies... :)

Then, came the days... when we played... cricket, badminton, throw ball... U name it and we played it all... Ohh... I used to love playing with dolls...so hell yes, I used to spend most of my time making clothes for my dolls... designing them... and playing... the wedding of the dolls... Friends, Cousins coming over.. The cooking and baking at home... we made donuts, the methais, the halwas...and what not at home.. :)

Watching movies late night... and meetha parathas and blah blah... It used to be so much fun.. ;) The shopping sprees... going for shopping in Bus / Rikhshaws / Taxis... and the walks... the chit chatting...

Offcourse, the studies for O' Levels - studying and exercising... Giving tuitions to children... of all age groups...

The cooking and baking continued.... :) Growing up...and studying at Fast..the Summer Vacations were spent Interning at different MNCs... Jaldi bhaghna... travelling in buses and rikhshaws... Suits and shoe shopping... spending the stipend when the semester starts for books / clothes / shoes / CDs and other stuff... the Tuitions continued..

Well, this year... I wanted little flavour of the summer vacations which were spent at home...shopping / cooking / reading books / watching movies / sleeping... Cleaning... and offcourse Mummy's dants... "kamray se bahir awaz nahin ani chahiey" :) hehehhee... and I got all that... Just when I needed it most. Loved it!!!
