Summer Ended - Enjoying Olympics

So finally the time is getting closer. The summer is ending…our class finally ended. Neeraj and I did really well - we both got an “A” in both of our summer classes. Now its time to party - go on vacation!! Yes, the family is going to Europe - and really, I can’t wait.

We have some great things planned while we are in Europe, and I really hope that everything goes well for us. We will be traveling alot and going through a lot of countries in a short time period. I hope that the famiy does not get tired throughout the 8 days that we will be in Europe.

Its been great watching the Olympics the past week. I have watched some great soccer, gymnastics, tennis, table tennis, swimming, diving, etc.. I think that Olympics is a great stage for athletes from all over the world to come to one place and show the spirit of the games. Its been really great to see China shine in so many different fields. Unfortunately its very disappointing to see my home country India, that has the next biggest population after China, did not have a very high level of participation in the various fields. The biggest problem that is in India is that not many sports are popularized. Many kids don’t think about becoming a swimmer or gymnast. Its usually just becoming a cricket player - that too only boys think about that.

I can’t believe we are almost halfway done with August. Time sometimes flies so quickly. Its going to go much faster for us as we finish the month with our trip that I mentioned above. Then we will be back for two months and then we will go to India. Then by the time we get back it will be halfway through November. Soon after it will be December. I can’t wait!!

Alvida. Jai Mata Di.
