I remember when I was in school, I craved for holidays during the winter season. Not that nowadays I want a reason for a holiday, those days used to be different. After Christmas holidays, our school reopened on the 2nd of January. Usually it would be an unit test or a week away from the unit tests. So, it would be study time.Did I crave for holidays so that I can study? Never.
Winter has always been my favourite season. It feels so nice to sleep under the blankets till late in the morning.The lazy bum that I am, I was always annoyed when mom used to wake me up early for school. I used to pray that somehow she forgets to wake me up and I can a have good early morning siesta. That could not have happened. She was always on time. Strangely, when the alarm did not ring, I remember waking mom up so that she can get me ready. Such foolishness, I was apprehensive about missing school.
But things have been different in the last three years. We have holidays in the month of December and January after the odd semester exams. Have enough time to sleep in the morning. Somehow I feel, my prayers have been answered. I will not trade these months from the last three years for any price. Since I am staring at an important period in my career, I doubt how much time will I have for my lazy musings.I guess there will be harsh winters ahead, leaving behind my slothful attitude I hope to be hardworking and energetic. A new prayer.
