English
I. Heat, sweat and the sticky feeling of here we go again. There is no turning away
from this unpleasant situation. It’s the time of the year when summer throws its
arms around you in a warm hug. For the well-heeled, the season augurs happy
times-going to the beach, lolling up in the bed and watching TV all day long. But,
for many, it's out-of-the- frying–pan-into-the-fire kind of situation with power
outages and water scarcity adding to the misery.

II. Summer means different things to different people. For some vacation is having
nothing to do and all day to do it. But moms and dads dread its onset for a different
reason. With schools closed, tranquility goes for a toss. Summer vacation and kids
make a good working definition of hell. One makes you sweat and the other fret.
The little ones get into the hair and there is no way you can shake them away. Hot
days and hotter nights. To remain holed up in home is to tie oneself up in knots.
What do you expect the kiddies to do if not let out the steam. When they turn a
Kohli then the idiot box and glassware go for a six.

III. But of late children are being deprived of their well-deserved holidays. For
many there is no escape from the classroom. Even as temperature soars, some
schools and colleges are conducting special classes for improving the academic
performance. What about children’s right to holidays? On the contrary, some
educational institutions are holding summer camps that impart skills and hone the
innate talent of students. Summer Samurai, the holiday special programme of
Telengana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society, has become a
good hunting ground for talent. MalavathPoorna, the tribal girl who ended up
scaling Mount Everest, discovered her mountaineering skills here. Such
programmes of course help kids get into a positive frame of mind and imbibe the
can-do-spirit.

IV. Time was when summer vacation meant a grand get-together of families-
catching up with cousins, recalling granny’s tales and indulging in oodles of fun and
frolic. Unfortunately smartphones have snatched away this good clean fun too.
Today's kids live in virtual world. They would rather go for gaming on mobiles than
play outdoors. A few love to bury their nose in a thriller while some like to just laze
around. Of course summer is when languor finds respectability. Whatever happened
to games like gilli-danda, marbles, kho-kho and chor-sipahi? These favourite
activities of the 1960s and 70s are on the verge of extinction now. Time the
traditional Indian games are revived.
