TAKING A BREAK..........

THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS

the evening was cool.we had many guests today.guests become rare these days.we don't have time for visits and the visits become a disturbance to others.people can't spare time for others and we forget the golden culture,''athithi devo bhava.''

summer holidays usually translate to vacation time.we plan for holidays and relax.


i love saturdays as the next day is a holiday.it's always work,work and work.it's high time to take a break.we are getting ready to leave for trichur after one week.i really pray,the heat should not confine me indoors.let's enjoy the sunny side of life.

we can enjoy summer with a lot of cooling food items.in fact nature provides us the right fruits and vegetables for the season.

scorching summer days are nothing new for us.to beat the sun,i want to jump into kulam,to swim in the cool water.

i fondly remember,mariyam and pranchi.mariyam chettathi was our helper at kamalayam,andathode,in my achan's house.after crossing the field,we often went to mariyam chettathy's house to play and enjoy the real life in their neat,cool hut.there was a small kulam,on one side where the ducks swam.there were trees lining the kulam and chettathy used to wash the vessels there.you won't know,how much,the memories are alive in my mind.they didn't have children and now both of them are not alive.
mariyam chettathy used to make tasty ariyundas.

i will be soon with amma and nanda.i want to go to temples in the mornings with nanda.she takes me to different tempels and the morning fresh air is so refreshing.i want to have a stroll among the different pooram exhibition stalls.the kuppivalakal are so attractive and i just love wearing them.


i know,nothing completes our day better than a home cooked meal.but there are so many new hotels in trichur to try out some new dishes.


here,people shake their legs to the rhythm of the cha cha,hip-hop and salsa to keep themselves in shape.

let's like what we do.before the rains and before the school bell rings and before work beckons us back,let's go back to our child hood activities where we can have our masti.

i will be away on along vacation to trichur,guruvayoorand chennai.i will miss the long hours that i sit infront of pc.i will miss interacting with you.
