A Day-by-Day Tale
Journey to Yercaud
The excitement of the Diwali holidays began with a cool morning drive to Yercaud, the “Jewel of the South.” The winding roads through the lush green hills and the refreshing breeze instantly lifted my festive spirit. I visited Lady’s Seat, enjoyed the misty views from Pagoda Point, and ended the evening with a warm cup of coffee by the lake. It was a peaceful start to my Diwali vacation — surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Exploring Yercaud’s Charm
The second day was all about a mix of adventure and calmness. I spent time boating at Yercaud Lake, wandering through the Botanical Garden, and tasting some delicious local dishes. The serenity of Yercaud offered the perfect pause from routine life. As the sun dipped behind the hills, I felt refreshed and excited for the upcoming family celebrations.
Diwali Celebration at Home
After returning home, the most awaited day arrived — Diwali! The house glowed with diyas and string lights; the whole family joined hands to decorate the home. We lit sparklers, enjoyed colorful crackers, and shared homemade sweets. The scent of laddoos and snacks filled the air, and the evening echoed with laughter and music. It was the warm heart of my holiday — celebrating love, light, and togetherness.
Movie Time in Chennai
After the Diwali celebrations, I traveled to Chennai for a fun day at the movies. The festive energy of the city and the aroma of theatre popcorn made the outing cheerful and relaxing. Watching a good movie with family and friends was the perfect way to unwind after the Diwali excitement.
Sunset at the Beach
The final day of my holiday was a peaceful evening at Marina Beach. The soft sand, the rhythm of waves, and a golden sunset provided the perfect ending. I sat by the sea and reflected on the five days — the cool hills of Yercaud, the bright Diwali lights at home, the laughter at the movies, and the calm of the ocean. It felt like a perfect blend of travel, celebration, and rest.
My Diwali holidays were truly a blend of travel, celebration, and peace — a time filled with lights, laughter, and love.
