<span>How I Spent My Summer Vacation - Essay </span>Mili
The summer
holidays are the days of recreation and rest since these days come
after hard work. These days come after the declaration of the school
result. As the holidays began, I was enthused to plan for the period. I
did not have to think much of the examination.
I was only thinking how to spend the vacation
pleasantly, in visiting places, in reading of literature. I sought
permission from my parents to pay a visit to Puri, a place that has fame
all over the world. I had a desire to visit an ancient temple. I had
heard of the attractive features of Puri with all its pictures que
beauty from one of my friends. Its climatic condition on account of its
location close to the seaside further attracted my mind to pay a visit
in summer.
After
the declaration of the result on 6th May, I caught the Talcher Puri
train. The journey was interesting. I reached Bhubaneswar first and
there I visited Lingaraj temple, the caves of Khandagiri and Udayagiri
to know the historical importance of the places. Next day I went to Puri
from Bhubaneswar by bus. The temple of Lord Jagannath is sacred for the
Hindus. The temple has a spacious yard surrounding it.
The
attractive feature of the temple is that even the lowest caste people
partake the Prasad offered to the gods with the highest caste people.
The people of the highest caste do not reject to this tradition.
The crowd the place draws during summer is large. We offered our bhoga to the Lords. In the evening I spent the time on the sea beach enjoyed the cool breeze of the summer nights. The heat of summer was not felt there.
From
Puri I went to Berhampur by bus. There I lived in one of my friend's
house. I visited the movie, held talks with other friends. When I went
Tara Tarini temple at Berhampur with my friends we had to climb hills.
The passing of the evenings on the sea beach was indeed joyous. On my
way back to home I did not miss the opportunity of visiting the zoo at
Nandankanan.
As the school was to be opened on 15th June, I had
to put an end to my pleasure trip there. I had no much money make
further journey. I had got the pleasure of sightseeing. I engaged myself
in the revision of my lessons of the previous year. I paid undivided
attention to studies in order to make up for the time lost. Since I spent the vacation
in moving new places I began my lessons with a refreshed mind and a
cheerful heart. I felt as if my journey to those Places increased my
capacity for work.
