Our school was closed on 14th of May for the summer vacation. I packed my luggage and caught the first train for Mathura. I reached my native village in the evening. My friends came to know that I had reached there. They came to meet me. We kept talking till midnight. I spent about a week there. We went out for a morning walk and enjoyed ourselves. After a week, I received a telegram from my elder sister. She had asked me to come to Agra.

I reached Agra. I spent many days visiting all the historical places around Agra. I saw the Taj Mahal every night. I also visited Akbar’s Fort. I often used to bathe in the holy water of the Jamuna. I stayed there for about three weeks.

I returned to my house in the middle of june. After a few days I paid a visit to my maternal grandfather. I received a warm reception from my maternal grandmother, maternal uncle and maternal aunt. My cousins were wild with joy at my sight. I made many friends there. We would play many rural games. We could take bath in cold water of the canal. I studied every morning. My breakfast consisted of stale chapaties, butter and butter-milk. After staying there for two weeks I returned home, I finished my home work. Our school opened on 8th july and I reached my school.
