Summer time....

Summer holidays........the ideal time every kid in school used to look forward to.....its the time for fun!!
We are so in love with chennai!!that we hardly used go out of town! :)

summer time.....reminds me of endless hours of play........ice creams......exhibitions.......cycling........water melon......the marina.....
My paatis house had 'marudhani'(henna) tree......this was the time when we get to apply marudhani on our palms....funny patterns with circles!!all my cousins...used to wait in a queue ...and the ritual was an enjoyable one......

disastrous attempts to make ice cream at home......jus to end up with some kinda funny liquid!!
the yellow flower trees in the neighborhood used to be in full bloom.....echoing the spirit of summer....bright n beautiful......

The favorite past time...was "to play".......anything.......from cricket to marbles......!not to mention butterfly catching.....Frisbees ......
evenings used to be "cycling time"...my bicycle was my best buddy....used to try out all sorts of stunts to fall flat on the road!end up with scratches ...but walk home with a lot of pride!!(veera thazumbu!)


Summer vacations also used to have a bit of assignments .....now thats boring!

dad used to insist on reading newspaper everyday morning....also a page of "writing" to keep hand writing in good condition......me n my bro used to fight over who gets to color the picture that comes in the young world!

the regular power cuts also added value to the fun......it used to be the time to do star gazing!and moon watching.......moon chasing also in the agenda!
summer rains.....mangoes.......!yummy!

these little things seem so bygone....but memories still afresh.......its kinda refreshing , all the fun n frolic in the sun!being a kid is a privilege in its own ways!
