Government decided to close all schools and colleges. We once again became sad and
dropped our second tour also.

We Head to Ancestral Home

Next morning we woke up early and went straight to our native village, otherwise our
summer paradise. We always spend our summer vacation with our cousins and
grandparents. This vacation would last three months, an extra month gifted by corona virus.
When we reached, there we ran to our cousins. After some time, our parents went back to
Thiruvananthapuram for work. As they are college teachers, they had to go to college even
though there were no classes.

Nice Times Begin

We played many games. In the evenings we played cricket. Some days passed. My
​
cousins went to their mother’s house to spend some time with the grandparents there.
When the Kerala government announced complete lock down, our parents also came. We
ate many delicious foods that our grandmother prepared. To overcome the boredom
created by the lockdown, we started making a hanging garden.
