About this ebook

"Imagine a world where there was no internet, no mobile phones, tablets or any of the hi-fi gadgets that kids today are used to. Telephones (Landline), Transistors/Tape Recorders were the most high end gadgets of those times and were considered luxury items, found in only certain homes of middle class India. So how did children spend their time, especially their holidays? Holidays were mostly spent travelling (by train or bus) to meet relatives/friends or hosting them. This book takes the reader on an enjoyable trip down the memory lane to the 1970’s and attempts to recreate the memorable summer holiday of a little girl with her family. Growing up in a cosmopolitan city (Madras), Anju visits her hometown (Trivandrum) during her summer holidays, which leaves an everlasting impact on her innocent mind forever. It turns out to be a remarkable vacation of new experiences, little adventures and lovely discoveries for Anju through her cousins, family members and friends. She experiences a new way of life amidst nature’s bounty that becomes an unforgettable part of her growing up, creating lifetime bonds."
