Essay on How I Felt Bored During the summer Vacations

A fortnight before the summer vacations were to commence, we stopped taking interest in studies. Everyone of us made ambitions plans to tour this or that place. But, ‘man proposes and God in his turn disposes’. On the very first day of the vacation, my mother developed serious pains and she had to be admitted to the hospital. In the hospital, her condition worsened and it was decided by the doctors and she would be operated upon. It led to the cancellation of our annual trip to Nainital. The decision of cancellation did not make me unhappy but my mother’s illness made me indifferent to the tour.

My mother was hospitalized the very next day. Worry was waiting large on father’s face and tears rolled down my cheeks. Unfortunately, my mother’s condition worsened during the operation and it was for sure that her recovery would now take a long time. I took the responsibility of preparing food for my family and, after giving it to everyone in the home, I would go to the hospital.

In the hospital screaming, wailing and crying of patients made me sad. When I came back home, my younger sister would cry to go to see the mother. She refused to eat or drink. Our clothes were dirty and house was unclean and in a very bad order. Cooking was turning out to be a nightmare for me. The dishes were often spoiled. At this point of time, I came to realize about the hard work my mother used to put in. I myself could not eat the food that I cooked, I could not talk my heart to anyone as my sister was too young to understand me and all my friends were away with their families enjoying their vacations.

The vacations were passing at the blink of eyelid. Sometimes I used to think of the happiness of my friends and compare it with that of mine. My life had become a dull routine going to hospital and preparing food. It bored me a lot. All activities like reading books, watching television, which is had interest in, were suspended for weeks. The days passed and the summer vacations came to an end. On the other hand, I thought that going to school was more interesting.
