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 26th 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.
