Oh my god, winter vacation is here once again. I don’t know how my friends around the country feel, but this long vacation really scares me. There are reasons to be scared. Winter is a cold season and cold season welcomes cold atmosphere. Cold atmosphere invites sickness and diseases. It is a grave season. People cannot think beyond snow when they think of winter. I have enough reasons to be alarmed. But this is the only tim of the year that takes me closer to being ‘me’ and ‘myself’, and not have be what I am not, which I am so used to at school.

Winter is a season that clearly sets out differences between what your parents have and your parents may not have. For lucky brats it is time to enroll in some luxurious sporting activities while for others it is a time to join some high-five workshops or conference that teach fellow students to either cook or sing or dance or seldom read and hardly write. It is a pity though.

Anyway, winter is time to do different activities. For children of rich parents it is busy time of the year to be stuck near the television or get busy with their play-stations. For others it is time to enroll in paid tuitions and prepare for the coming academic year – that way they would be far ahead of others in the following year. For others it is time to experiment new things, new substances, new friends and explore new sexual experiences.

Money can do so many things.

Some struggle for it while others use it to ease their burden.

It is time to read some old tattered books for me and forget what money can or cannot do in life.

Winter is the best time to do that!
