Are holidays thrilling?
When working professionals are busy slogging away, students get to make them absolutely jealous by chilling out during their holidays or semester break. The vacations are truly rejuvenating. There’s also the Ganesh Chathurthi and Eid holiday plus this weekend which ensures a break for many.
Engineering student Pooja R is super kicked about her trip to Goa. “My college friends and I have planned a trip to the land of sun and sea. Also, as part of our college mountaineering club, we’re planning to do fun stuff like trekking, river crossing etc,” she says.
Pooja recollects her first visit to Goa with her parents and says, “I couldn’t really have proper fun. But with a gang of 10 friends, this trip should be super fun, especially when I’m going to be attending my first beach party!”
She also has another trip on the cards, but this time, with family. “We’re planning to go abroad. I’m also going to catch up with all my cousins, who thankfully have a break just during mine ‘cos all of them are doing their engineering,” she says.
For 18-year-old Shreyas Meda, travelling during the break is about visiting his cousins in different places — from Chennai to Hyderabad to Mysore. “I already did a trip to the US where I visited Florida, Philadelphia, Annapolis etc. Now, it’s time to visit cousins,” he says.
This holidays, student Nikita H Nagpal played with snow in India’s ‘heaven on earth.’ The youngster headed to Kashmir with her family and cousins for a vacation.
“We went to Delhi and then Haridwar by train, before heading to Kashmir. We also went to Srinagar and stayed in a boat house near Dahl Lake. We then headed to Gulmarg, which has a cable car called gondola which took us 10,000 feet high,” adds Nikita.
She gorged on the gulab jamuns and puri-sabzi in Haridwar and also at the boat house. “There are also shops on the boat and shop keepers who sail on the lake and sell stuff.”
Engineering student Arjun U is travelling to Kerala during his semester break. “I’ll be going to Wayanad. God’s Own Country is a place that I’ve always wanted to visit.’
Looks like there’s nothing that can beat a ‘trippy’ holiday!
