A normal day in Summer 2002

It's 2002, i don't know why, there is no specific reason I'm fond of Summer season. Maybe because of the summer holidays i get or that's the only time I play chess with my dad or mom prepares a variety of eatables that i can eat for the whole summer or playing with my friends from dawn till dusk without experiencing tiredness. Even now, not having all the above luxury , beautiful summer brings me a sense of freedom, calmness and the feeling that I'm alive.

In those beautiful days, during summer holidays you sleep late(12am) and wake up early(6am) with the same energy as Goku has in dragon ball z. But now, out of 8hrs sleep if you lose 30 mins, you are done for the day. Your mind and body go crazy. This is the only time mom encourages you to have more sleep so that you won't be a hindrance in her morning routine. When you wake up and come out of the bedroom , first thing  you will be seeing is your dad reading newspaper in the hall. With one eye closed, you just go and sit near him. Suddenly you bring all your energy in opening the another eye to search for the remote. That's the point your dad hand over you the two sheets of newspaper to read. That's how I started the habit of reading. Reading starts in the sports page and ends in the same page.

In schools, your class teacher rarely bothers you, if you submit your assignments regularly on time. Like that, your parents never bother you if you have your breakfast, lunch and dinner on time. If you try to skip any of these or not having them on time then you are done. If anything goes wrong , mom will correlate the incident with the skipped meals incident. Eg., Mistakenly if I drop my mobile phone, mom will say "See you don't even has the strength to hold your mobilephone". So, never ever skip or avoid your meal.

At 9.00am, you hear your friends calling your name. All ready with the bats, stumps and cricket balls. Everyone have their own bicycle. My bicycle name is "Ambush". Dark brown color, sport model. Minimum 3 and maxmimum 4 can sit. I got this as a result of losing an another bicycle. Match at 9.30, against our school senior batch, we are short of 3 players. This is a weekly routine. Our team always short of players. But somehow we arrange 3 more players by 10am. Match starts , mostly we win sometimes senior wins. 

Those were the days showered in sun rays with the temperature of 33℃. Those we the days, fetch and drink water from any source nothing happens, fall anywhere nothing happen, eat anything nothing happens, bath anywhere nothing happens, speak anything nothing happens. Basically nothing happens. You just have sit in the flow, you will be carried like a leaf fallen into the river.
