MY VACATIONS
Although I love my work and college but vacations are
nevertheless most welcome. And it couldn’t have been better with exams ending
after my first year in college.The best aspect of a vacation is escaping the
stereotyped daily routine. So here I was, set to make the most out of it. These were the days of recreation
and rest and ofcourse they were hard earned after a rigorous exam schedule.As
they began I was enthused to plan for the days ahead.
The only thing that was on my mind was how to spend the vacation pleasantly
in visiting new places, in reading of literature, spending quality time with my
family, catching up on small joys of life with my childhood friends, relishing
my mother’s cooking.
While reading through the literature I came across these
inspiring words by Langston Hughes
“Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken
winged bird that cannot fly” I held my dream of becoming a thorough industrial
professional since my high school although i will not have the oppurtunity to
fulfil my desire until I get into a business school, undergoing the internship
would have given me a chance to fulfil my dream.
So with the advice of my parents and other family members I
won myself an internship at Escorts Construction Equipment Pvt. Lmt. after a
short interview with the company’s HR personnel.The company’s location on the
outskirts of the city in ballabgarh gave me a chance to enjoy long drives along
the lush green fields and admire the beauty of countryside. I went there for 5
days a week and an average of 30 hours, a time well spent.
I had already found what I wanted .Our industrial guide gave
us a warm welcome and briefed us about the functioning of production units.One month
flew away within no time and I felt more confident and inspired.The valuable
experience gained during internship did not only improve but also extended my
potential.
I still had 15 days left from my vacations.So I planned a
trekking trip to Manali.Manali is a paradise for trekking enthusiasts.The dense
forests, lush green meadows, colourful flowers, the emerald blue lake, the
cliffs and deep narrow gorges, the musical streams and the picturesque
waterfalls were a delight to experience.The ups and downs during trekking made
me a bit tired but exploring the virgin Himalayas under the blue sky with
magnificient views allowed to to relax like nowhere else and the curiosity to
know what lies beyond the next mountain pulled me deeper and deeper into the
lap of mighty Himalayas.
Back from the trip, it was time for some pampering by my
mother.It’s altogether a different feeling to rest the tired body lying on the
couch and watching television while my mother cooked all my favourite dishes. A
movie with the family gave a perfect ending to my vacation.
The last day paased by preparing to come to college .But
there was a fresh mind body and soul raring to go and touch the skies.With a
fresh surge of energy to conquer the world.And as it’s said:
“Too much work, too much vacation, too much of any one thing
is unsound.”
So here I am again back to what I enjoy the most.....my schedule .
