WHAT IS SUMMER?

--Summer is empty classrooms and overcrowded beaches!
--Summer is playing beach volleyball or tug-of-war or snorkelling to look
for "Nemo" among the corals!
--Summer is travelling for business, but mostly for pleasure and for pilgrimage!
--Summer is being bombarded by political advertisements and given the freedom
to choose the candidates that suit one's taste!
--Summer is young people clicking their digital cameras and wondering
how beautiful their pictures are!

sweet nothings!

--Summer is abducting and killing persons done by goons paid by godless people!
--Summer is finding time to make a "retreat"
