Its been a nice summer & its time to blog. Summers thru the years have changed so dramatically ! No, its not about global warming, its about growing up . Summers meant once upon a time endless cricket matches in the day , book fairs in the evening , local gangs and new ideas , expeditions , fun adventures with copy book execution of ideas from 'famous five ', drinking citra after chipping in money , meeting new kids in the colony who came from different places to spend summer vacations or go to familiar grand mother's village and get acquainted with endless mango trees.
Years rolled and summers meant watching 'cable TV' ..figuring out 'DOS' , getting to know cool older friends who were into weird things like computer games , floppy discs and 'magazines' ..years still rolled and summers meant wondering what that high school hottie' must be doing and wondering when school would reopen . That was when things started changing dramatically. The silvery dawns and the glowing noons of summers were not felt or noticed anymore ..how to learn to ride a bike and how to get taller than the rest of the guys 'this summer' suddenly became priority one.
Summers later meant just additional time to prepare for the next class in advance and crack competitive exams, summers meant endless rounds of studies ,studies and just more studies. There is nothing more important than this. Later on , summers meant movies, chatting on the internet or simply lazing waiting for college to reopen.
Ofcourse now all things are different. We don't need summers to freak out ..we freak out everyday ..just like we have cricket everyday in some form ( IPL or ICL or some other circus ) and the days of waiting for those original India England series to begin in beautiful summer settings at Old Trafford are all long gone. So I have planned to revive the summer concept with a vengeance. This summer me resolved to enjoy the silvery dawns and the glowing noons once again the vintage way ..
