I and my siblings would spend our summer vacations in our distant relatives home. It was a bit
customary for the kids to spend their vacations at some other relative’s home in our family at that time.
The entire summer would be spent with a new family every year. It was kind of good. It helped us
understand the actual meaning of the family. It taught us that a family might not be living together but
they will always have each other’s back in the time of needs. We also learned to adapt to different
situations and scenarios and learned that we cannot always have what we want, sometimes we have
to settle for a little less. The summer was great during our childhood. It was filled with lots of love and
care and imparted a sense of togetherness and collective belonging to us.

Every summer would have a story of its own. It’s not always the same every year but more or less, it
would be interesting and entertaining. This one time we were sent to our uncle’s home in Delhi and
we were really excited about it. As a kid, Delhi used to be a dream destination and every kid wanted
to see the historical monuments that they have read about in their history books in real. So we were
all very fascinated about going to Delhi. We had planned everything from the places we wanted to
visit local cuisines we would like to try. we boarded our trains and landed on the New Delhi railway
station the next day. Finally, Delhi wasn’t far anymore.

Our uncle and aunt picked us up from the railway station and we directly went to their home. It was a
long time since we have met our Delhi cousins and so it added to the excitement. But the moment we
entered the home, we were really disappointed. The entire house was under maintenance. all the
sofas and televisions were covered under old clothes and the entire house was being re-decorated
and painted. They told us that it would be finished in a couple of days and we thought that so would
be our vacations. If they had this in line why not just tell us and we would have gone somewhere else
instead. At least we would have enjoyed.

Anyway, they showed us to our cousin’s room and we just wanted to doze off for a while. We bathe
and got all freshen up and just jumped on to the bed. Our aunt gave us a lot of things to eat but we
just wanted to sleep. So it was around noon when we went to sleep and the plan was to get up in the
evening and go out for an evening stroll. We switched off the lights, pulled down the curtains and went
to sleep.

It was a little while after we have slept that I could hear uncle’s voice calling us to have our meals. I
just replied that we would skip the lunch and directly eat the dinner. I was astonished to hear what he
said after that, “I am calling you for the dinner only”. I turned on the light and looked on the wall clock
and it was around 10:15 in the night. We had slept for 10 continuous hours and it seemed that we
could still sleep a lot. We thought that it must be because of the tiredness from the journey and went
to have the dinner with the family. We all were chit-chatting and laughing throughout the meal and we
really enjoyed it. After that, we were really worried if we would be able to sleep in the night as we
have just woke up. But we thought it is better to lie down and whisper than wander in the house.the
next thing I remember is being called for the breakfast in the morning. Why was I sleeping so much
was beyond my understanding?

Anyway, I made it to the dining table and started with my breakfast. I was really confused and asked
my uncle that if he thinks I am ill and that is sleeping so much. To which he laughed and told me that
it’s not me but the mattress. He told me that they have brought these new mattresses from Sealy that
are very comfortable. It is the best mattress you can buy and is easily available everywhere. They
were buying all these new stuff for the house when he visited the best mattress shop in Delhi and
the owner recommended these mattresses from Sealy. It was really very comfortable and the summer
vacation was too relaxing that year.
