MY STAY IN INDIA
Rachna Suzanne Mathew
Grade 2
The
Millennium School, Dubai
( D/o Lalu M Varghese, 1983 E )
After
staying in Dubai for five years, my sister and I went with our Mama to India in
2007. I joined school in KG 2 and my sister in 9th grade.
We stayed in our own house in Trivandrum.
I enjoyed playing with
my friends in the neighbourhood. In the evenings, I would take my bicycle
out along with all my friends and ride around in the open area. Sometimes
we would collect flowers. We played games like Hide and Seek, Hopscotch
etc. I enjoyed the rainy season with my umbrella, jumping around in the
puddles, but my Mama was not very pleased with this!
I had a good time
in school too. My teachers and friends were very helpful. We went
for picnics to the Museum, Zoo, beach etc. I took part in many
inter-school competitions and even won an Individual championship trophy
once.
I used to visit my grand-parents and other relations very
often.
But I missed my Papa very much. He used to visit us frequently
in India and we also made trips to Dubai. But I feel that we all should
stay together as a family. And so, we are back in Dubai along with Papa
and now that we are together again, I am very happy.
