Things I Love About Summer-2

That I wake up early and it's already light outside!

In this light I can see dust particles swirling around lazily. For some reason, that always makes me smile.

It's summer, and I can chase sunrays, stepping only on patches of light or shadow. It's summer, and in the summer morning, I can hear birdsong in the trees just outside my window. It's summer and maybe time for a few more freckles.  

Things I Love About Summer-1

For so many years, summer meant two months of vacation - no school, no homework, just a lot of time to play, read, dream and have copious amounts of lemonade. Not much has changed. Of course, I can now take time off from work any time I like, but vacations during summer are still special. To uphold the fine tradition of Summer Vacations, I make it a point to go places where I can read, dream and have copious amounts of lemonade, uninterrupted by mundane matters.

Last May and June, I visited Shimla, Ajmer, Pushkar, Goa and Shillong.

This year, so far, I've been to Ladakh and Lansdowne.

This is me being a regular tourist. It's what regular tourists do, visiting mountains in summer. I am also skilled at being a regular tourist visiting the seaside, but more on that later, perhaps.
