MY VACATION
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 college result. As the holidays began, I was
enthusiased 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. But then came the news that I have to undergo
an operation for my gall bladder stone. First I thought that this must be the
end of all the vacation plans that I’ve made, but it wasn’t the way I thought.
Because I had more fun in the hospital that I had ever had in my life but only
read in the novels, like night outs and all the crazy things.
The first day when I got admitted in the hospital, it was like all my
vacation plans were grounded. But I thank to god for that lucky moment when two
of my friends came to see me. They planned for the nightstay in the hospital
and I asked my parents to go home as they were there to take care of me.
And my real fun started at
10p.m when the nurse took my drips or the saline bottles off my nerves. After
the nurse left the room, we three were only in the room as it was a personal
room and a bit spacious too. After the nurse left us all alone for the whole
night,we decided to order dinner as we all were hungry ,”the dinner that I
wasn’t supposed to have ,but then also I had it”. Then ,after having our dinner
we trio sat for a chat and after half-an-hour one of us suggested a plan to get
out of this hospital and go for a long drive. As it was very risky ,to get a
patient out of a hospital getting unnoticed ,so we all were excited to do it.
And in order to get out safely I had to be in my civil dress and not that one
that hospital gave to wear. As it was midnight time so many of the corridors
were empty and somehow we escaped safely from the hospital. From there we got
into one of my friend’s car and decided to have a look of India Gate at
midnight, so we all started. That nighout drive was awesome and a memorable one
to me. We did all the fun in our way, “FUN-refers to the stuff that engineers,
specially mechanical engg. Love to do in India”. After three lng hours of drive and salute to the AMAR JAVAN
JYOTI, we returned to the hospital and again I got into that hospital dress.
After all this fun we decided now to
rest and have some sleep.
It was about 8 point
something in the morning, when my parents came to my room and the first thing I
heard from them was ‘Your operation has been postponed’.
What??.... i mean why? I
said.
Then they gave me the news of
my grandmother’s death. She was 97. And was suffering from many internal
problems.
So, it was supposed to be
god’s grace on her that she passed away to the heaven.
But to me it was another bad
news for my vacation plans that came with loads of work for my family.
The same day in the afternoon
we left for our home town Bihar for the cremation, rituals and all the preparations
for what we call the ‘shradhh’. As I was going to Bihar after 3 yrs so I was
not in any mood to go but at the end I had to as I didn’t have any choice.
After 18 hrs, we were at our home or village in Bihar. From the discussions of
the family members and the neighbours I came to know that we have to be there
for 25 days. And that meant only 10 days of vacations I will have after this.
And in those 10 days I have to undergo an operation for my gall stone.
but all in all, I had a whole
new experience by going there. I met new friends and many of my family members
whom I saw after so many years. And not to forget the most special thing about
any village, is the feel of being in your own village and its scenic beauty.
The days spent there were
awesome. I never thought that those 20 days will pass so fast like this. After
returning from there, the very next day my operation got scheduled. It took 1
whole week to heal and making me normal.
And after that week my
college days and my second year started. This was my whole vacation layout
after my first year in college.
