You start your day at 9 am. Quick breakfast, bath and then onto your busy schedule. Dark room with curtains drawn, cooler whirring at high speed. You are sprawled on the ground, tongue sticking out, coloring your imagination, trying to stay within the lines.
One hour goes by and it seems like you are wasting some precious time doing this. You push aside everything and curl up to start reading a book. Mom serves you lemonade. Uff. Distractions! Famous Five had just found a secret cave and now you have to finish off the lemonade before you can carry your adventure. You delve back into the book.
And just when Enid Blyton starts describing a lunch made of ginger bread and chocolate eclairs, Mom makes a home-made pizza! Its no coincidence that lunch is ready at the same time as Adventures of Tintin on Cartoon Network. And of course, the Little Lulu Show.
Super-busy working lunch this was.
Time for post-lunch activities. Too much stress - you take a two hour "power nap".
4:00 pm - The day is coming to its high point climax. You get served a nice customized spicy chaat. Time to go out and play! Its no game, this I tell you. Bunch of kids, decision on what to play, forming the teams, cheating, accusing others, walking out in a huff - High intensity management practices.
7 pm - You take a quick bath and take stock of the day. Its been busy, but good.

Summer vacations. Those were the days!
Dear Two and a Half readers, did I depress you sufficiently enough on a Monday morning, while you perch in front of your laptop, looking at your mailbox and pending items list? I hope so!
Have a *great* working week ahead! :)
And don't worry. Those kids who are enjoying their vacations today will be in your place 15 years from now! :D
Signing out,
Sigh! I had no Cartoon Network though, it was some summer special programmes on DD. Super-sigh! :)
