School vacation

Published June 16, 2013

SCHOOL students, especially those living in Karachi, are so unfortunate that for them summer vacation is another period of imprisonment in their homes. After months of studying hard nonstop, it is a pupil’s right to enjoy these vacations. But there is a continuous fear of an act of terrorism which swallows all the happiness.

Summer camps in the economic range of a normal person are difficult to locate. This creates boredom, tension and agony for students and nothing looks better than viewing 24-hour news channels with news full of sorrows.

I think our country craves for peace because our students are satisfied in the state of harmony only.
