Every Summer Has a Story

12 May Every Summer Has a Story

As much as people disgrace summer for the heat, children

love to spend their time without any timetable, books, teachers and school 🙂 Each one of us have been through this wonderful phase of our lives “ Childhood”. Summer is the time to relive these memories time and again. While I face the scorching heat while on roads, these beautiful memories make me nostalgic.

Here are some of my very special summer memories:

• Waking up to the cuckoo’s coo, a typical morning alarm in India during summers
• The opening of the carton of Alphonso mangoes specially brought from Nagpur
• The breakfast of Aamras and roti. Topping aamras with ghee every single time before binging.
• Indoor games with cousines like carrom, rummy, chess and now pallanguzhi
• Filling water in cooler making it ready for hot and scorching summer afternoons.
• Making of pickles, aam panna, appalam and papads
• Relaxing on the lazy evening sipping on aam panna
• Playing with water for hours together, to beat the heat
• Reading champak, chanda mama, tinkle, chacha choudhary and saboo’s shenanigans.
• The red hot petals of Gulmohar and Blushing Bahava or Yellow Bells
• Evenings on the beach, eating candy floss

These are just some of them, I am sure you may be having many to add.
