Vacations are the best time to relax and enjoy and I eagerly wait for my summer vacations every year. Every year my school closes in the middle of the month of May and reopens by the end of June. Annual exams get over and the results are declared.
This time I got promoted to class nine from class eight. After the hard labor for the examinations, I wanted some rest and also some refreshment. Hence I put aside my books for a few weeks. Next day morning I went out to play with my friends.
It was a very hot and sunny day so we decided to play indoor games. In the evening I asked my father and mother to take me to any of the hill stations because I wanted to beat the heat. My father told me that we cannot go to a hill station because all the hotels and resorts are booked beforehand only.
Last summer vacations, I visited a historical city, Delhi. It was an adventurous and exciting experience. Delhi has been known by different names during different periods. In an ancient period it was known as Indraprastha, medieval times it was known as Tughlaqabad. In Delhi, there are many monuments which are known for its history.
There is the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Humayun Tomb, Jantar Mantar and Qutub Minar which makes the Delhi rich is history and glorious past of India is narrated through these monuments. Whereas, there are many wonders of modern time such as Rashtrapati Bhawan, parliament, Lotus temple and so forth.
Another major landmark of Delhi is India Gate which was built in the memory of soldiers who lost their lives during the first world war. India Gate is extended into the greater area and has become the picnic spot for people and tourists. Lastly, Delhi has become a major tourist attraction point as it is developed with the metro rails, museums, and center of shopping. Visiting Delhi was a very fascinating experience.
