Being a 90s kid, I know how curiously we waited
for this time to make some of the best childhood memories.
Though the days are hot enough, the summer
breeze is always special, especially to me, and it blows me down with nostalgic
memories of the past and a boost to look forward in life. When I think back,
many of my poems or inspiration to write wake up during this time, and the
silent afternoons are the best to connect with emotions and thoughts.
And also, living close to the sea, the cool
breeze that rose from the sea would sway me and flatten the day's hotness!
Beaches are one of the best places to hangout
often during the summer, which I guess is the mindset of all over the world,
but those living close to one would truly enchant the opportunity. Beaches are
my favorite places, perhaps because they're easily accessed here but never
close to the water. Beaches provide small amusements watching through the
activities of people, stalls, and hand carts and for me, the best time to visit
beaches was on the full moon day to see the silvery moon rising over the sea.
There was a time where I visited the beach constantly for few full moon days,
but it's been a year since I have gone close to a beach.
Summer is also a season where we get to taste
ice creams, and this is the time where parents could not deny buying us ice cream when we insist on the sign of summer. On the other hand, there are
watermelon, muskmelon, and mangos, the only available fruits of the season to
take down the summer heat.
The vacations are another interesting thing we
anticipate over the season and planning mostly for a cold region or hill
stations to enjoy the pristine nature and weather. But things aren't the same
now as we started to avoid this season esp. to keep away trouble in accommodation,
booking rates, and the crowd. Still, the
thought of vacation haunts me whenever the temperature takes a toll or someone
reminds me of the time spent together or the mind recollects the moments
cherished.
I hope, you guys too have your favorite season
that connects you in one or many ways. If possible, share few interesting things in
the comment. Thank you
When I was schooling, I always looked forward to holidays. When I am working, I too looked forward to public holidays. Now I am retired, every day is a holiday. We are now enjoy the mango season and looking forward to durian season.
ReplyDelete...summer is a wonderful season, but sometimes it gets too HOT!
ReplyDeleteSummer means holidays and playing, that's why I used to like it. But nowadays I find it difficult to work with kathiri heat during May. Probably I should schedule more rest during that time...

I grew up within a mile of the beach. As kids we used to head down there with our lunch and swim and play. There was a playground that was fenced in at the entrance to the beach. Lots of fun times and family memories.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Jeevan.
Summer has always been my favorite as a kid and as an adult. As a teacher it was so nice to have a couple months off and do fun things. Visiting Minnesota lake areas was wonderful. Like you we are all stuck inside. I hope we can travel this summer again.
ReplyDeleteEvery season has its own special charms, but I thing Spring is my favorite. That's when the world around me turns green and flowers break out in bloom. But Autumn is a close second, since the mountains around us are filled with color.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, I too really looked forward to summer to be away from school...but then it brought hard work as I lived on a farm and there were always chores. But I did not hate them.
ReplyDeleteNow that I am older, fall is what appeals to me most.
