It was the summer when I was in class 7. One morning mother came and broke the news that father would not be able to come home that summer. He had been put on emergency duty. My sister and I felt like deflated balloons. We sighed at the thought of not going to a hill station and not meeting father until the next holidays and spending 14 months in the hot Delhi summers. On the last day of school we dragged our feet home, not at all happy at the prospect of having to spend a boring vacation at home.
The first few days were not too bad, as we enjoyed the no-hurry, no-study schedule. The desert cooler, of course, was a great relief. Our family, being, very environment conscious. We do not use an AC. We were chatting over cool drinks when mother waved two blue slips at us. They were the forms of the swimming pool nearby. We could start right away. What a surprise!!
When we went there, we met many of our classmates. From that day the pool became the centre of our vacations. All of us being good swimmers, the coach gave us liberty to play games. Water polo was fun as also under water ‘catch’. Mother always packed some sandwitches and a fruit juice or a milkshake which we shared with our friends when we strolled back home. The days just flew by, though I missed father and our trip to the hills, summers in Delhi was not so bad after all.
