Schools Being Opened By mid-June schools in whole India are opened.
In our childhood two months summer vacations used to extend from 15th May to 15th July. On 15th July announcement were made that today Schools, Courts and Khoa (Mawa) are opened. In previous time the life was altogether different from today. We used to go to our grand maa (Nani – Dadi) house. All used to assemble in same house. In Punjab and Haryana Tandoor chapatti were prepared in the night with Dal and pickle or papad or Pakoda.
Gone are the days of the fight between brother and sisters to sit by the window of 3rd class coach of the train. Now tour packages are booked atleast 6 months before. Special attraction is given to the facilities of the trip. This has lessened the craze of the travel and enjoyment.
Now the schools are closed by 15th April. New session starts from 1st April. Home work is given and projects are to be prepared. These days kids as well as their parents are busy in doing home work. Let us welcome the change. But now the thing is that schools are opening. Let us be prepared for this. Make certain plans and follow them strictly.
