ESSAY ON HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION IN MY VILLAGE – ESSAY 
3 (400 WORDS)
Introduction
For those of us living in metropolitan cities summer holidays mean watching movies and 
television series or hanging out with friends or just surfing internet. This consumes all of our 
time. But, this summer spending time at my aunt’s place in Bhiwani village was an 
enthralling experience. It seemed like a different world to me.
Knowing Village Culture
The houses in the village are as big as palaces but still people are emotionally attached and 
aware about what is going on in each other’s life. Eating together, understanding situations 
and opinions of other people and working together are some of the few small things that add 
up to make a beautiful village life.
Waking up early in the mornings is a practice that most villagers follow. It keeps them 
healthy and makes their day more productive. So, all the people of the house are required to 
be awake by 6 in morning which seemed like a curse to us initially. My uncle owns a utensils 
shop in the village and he opens it at 7 in the morning each day. He left for work before 7 am 
each day. Most of the people were seen heading for their work around the same time.
I spent my mornings in the kitchen with all the ladies of the house doing preparations for 
breakfast and lunch. I also helped them clean up the house after the kitchen tasks. In the 
afternoon, me and my brother took a round of the village and also delivered lunch at my

uncle’s shop. Rest of the afternoon was spent in slumber after having a heavy diet and loads 
of gossips.
The evening time in the village was the time for which I waited with a lot of excitement. One 
evening we went to the village well where women went to fetch drinking water. It was great 
to see them balance the pots full of water and walking back in a row. But the main treat was 
to see the confidence and happiness on their faces. The village also encompassed a big 
playground that used to be full of kids during the evening hours.
Our aunt and uncle also took us to the farm to show us the beautiful process of growing and 
nurturing of fruits and vegetables. Looking at the farmers, putting so much effort on their 
harvest and their faces during the harvesting time was a great sight.
I also went to one of the panchayat going on in the village under a banyan tree where issues 
of the village were being solved by the elders of the village with the consent of all other 
people of village. This is where I witnessed a small example of democracy.
Conclusion
The simplicity of the life in village is where its beauty lies. My visit to village always teaches 
me compassion and to have love towards our family.
