summer vaccations- wat a torture!

hey
my summer vaccations have actually started(as in, the 1st four days i went for the social service camp vich was pretty gud).. now i can recall how boring it is to spend holidays especially when i am not going newhre, out of station.. n im already getting bored..

why summer vaccations are fun..
  • u get to sleep as much u want n wenevr u want to: i end up sleeping at 2 in the morning n get up at 12 or 1.. once i hav also slept till 2:30 also..that was simply great..
  • u can b online for hours and hours till u r bored of the net as well
  • u get to experiment all sorts of things..as in trying out recipies n making ur own recipies.. trust me its fun
  • u can watch all the movies on star movies n hbo and all ur fav shows
  • u can watch day and night cricket matches n soccer till late night
  • u can talk to ur frenz on the fone late at nite cuz that time no one's gonna disturb u from talking on the fone
  • u can read books nonstop..this is for those who like reading
  • yeah, one more very important thing, summer means time for swimming.. which is fun.. so for those who luv swimming, hav a cool time
  • n mangoes..they r the best things abt summers...lots n lots of mangoes.. :)
there are many other things as well vich make vaccations fun.. the best out of them is travelling n going places.. the best r beaches n hill-stations...

why summer vaccations are boring
  • when u hav to study
  • wen nobody's online on ur contact list
  • wen ur mom keeps telling u to clean ur room
  • wen all ur frenz are out of station n u r left alone
  • wen u hav surfed all ur fav sites n blogs and u r waiting for them to get updated
  • wen u hav to go for tutions/coaching/classes(they are all the same) at specified time
  • u plan for a getogether n it duznt work out
  • evn wen u r online, ppl ask the same questions n u hav no answers for them
  • wen sum stupid guests cum to ur plc n bore u(cousins n frenz are most welcome ;) )
  • u cant go out during the daytime cuz its so freaking hot oustide(try this, 45 degrees)
  • if u dont like watching tv and surfing and chatting then u dont hav many options.. sum ppl join workshops.. they r fun.. but not for me.. cuz u hav to b regular with it..go at the specified time.. nah, not for me.
  • power cuts..this is the worst thing.. it's damn hot n the ac/other electrical appliances not working spclly da tv n da comp!
  • u cant go out with frenz evry other day cuz of many reasons..blah blah blah
holidays r cool but too much of them is boring cuz u r sick of being vela...n this time 2 months n r results r also gonna b out by the end of this month.. so i can jus pray for them.... wat a torture!holidays, results!!
k bye bye ppl..

PS: the social service camp was awesome..it was fun n it made us aware abt many things.. i'll rite abt it later

life at old age homes

hi all.. it's bin reely boring these days as i hav sed b4.."i hav nuthing much to do"..but today was gud..actually i was damn bored at home..since da holidays are here n i hate holidays coz none of my cuzins liv in delhi n cant go out wid frenz evry other day.. n a few days back i heard about this social service thing in vich our skool wud b taking us 2 many places like old age homes n sos village n blind skool n tamana skool..so instead of getting bored at home n cribbing abt getting bored i thot this is a gud chance of meeting these ppl n getting to kno them a bit..n v can giv sumtime to them..n many of my frenz were going so u can say i was kinda inspired by them..n i also got to kno that they r gonna giv certificates n it helps in getting thru colleges abroad..but it hardly matters to me cuz neways im not going abroad for studies at under graduate level..
so v started frm skool at around 9..n hey, b4 that v were supposed 2 prepare sum songs for them.. n gess wat i was singing..lol.totally offtune..but v dint sing later..k so v left skool , around 182 of us..yeah..that many ppl actually showed up..so this plc is in south delhi..way far frm chattarpur temple as well..so v reached that plc..n v got to kno that there r only 10 ppl in that old age home n 182 of us! so all of us went to talk to all those uncles n aunties vich wre pretty sweet n most of them were 80+..so u c, they were pretty old.. n these ppl were actually talented..v met an uncle..he was an artist.. n then there was this economist..n many ppl wre around him..i dint get a chance to talk to him..n there was this aunty..who was great in shayeri..my frenz were telling me..actually after sumtime i went 2 another old age home cuz that plc was flooded(not literally!!)..so i went to that plc..n even there..there were lots of ppl..neways i started talking to this uncle.. he was a teacher frm kanpur..he was reely nice n then i met 2 more aunties..so they had been telling me about how bad it is for women (spclly in india) cuz sum of they had to sacrifice their ambition for their family..wel..now it has improved a lot..still a woman's life is not easy(how true!).. so moving ahead.. then i got to know that many of them do visit their children n their children also do so.. so that's nice.. these ppl r given food n rooms n ol but they do their works themselves like washing their rooms n clothes..n mind u they r old ppl.. n sum of them sed, that watever v giv them as in biscuits n fruits, v shud giv them directly n not to da 1s managing the old age homes cuz they lock all those things in a room n those ppl dont get nething at all.. how unfair is that! neways, i had a great time interacting wid them n my frenz did 2.. evn they enjoyed it cuz v had sum to spend sum time wid them.. n i got to kno even they luv music..all of them reely enjoyed wen sum ppl were singing n even they listen to songs on radio..wel..its reely hard living there,i feel widout ur actual family.. i reely miss my grand parents a lot, they dont liv in delhi.. they did stay wid us for a few months but then they dint like it much..cuz they are so absorbed in that plc whr they liv..so they went back.. i m going to meet them this summer..i hope i do.. i luv 'em.. n my dadi(paternal grandmother) is such a sweetheart!luv 2 talk to her..she's like a kid..totally!luv her loads..
