As a little girl growing up in the south of India, my summer holidays were filled with promise.
There was the yearly vacation to look forward to, of course, but apart from that, there were visits to the community pool, lazing around reading books all day, eating creamy, ice-cold, pistachio-studded kulfis, and day trips to the hills of the Nilgiris. Summer meant day after languorous day filled with laidback summer activity.
