Fluppy: First of all are we not your friends? We have not gone anywhere on vacation. Secondly, this is no way to talk to your friends. Cliparti: Cool it man! I have said sorry, haven’t I? Now what more do you want from me, to bend down on my knees and ask for your forgiveness? Windy: Thank you but that won’t be required! Fluppy: Cliparti, why don’t you also plan a short trip and go someplace? I will tell you of a wonderful site that will help you plan it. At www.netguruindia.com/travel/index.asp you can find loads of ideas to choose from. It has some excellent tour packages to take you to Khajurao, Puri, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Naukuchiatal, and even to Shimla. Even your air tickets, hotel reservations and car rentals can be taken care of easily. You know this site has lots of stuff to interest you. It has not just travel but entertainment, fashion, horoscope, recipes education, books games, chat phone card, gifts online and____ Cliparti: Fluppy, Fluppy can you please let me interrupt you for a second please? It is not that I don’t know of sites like this. In fact, I only suggested so many of such site addresses to help my friends to plan their vacations. Further I cannot go anywhere because my father is very busy at office nowadays and mummy says it would be wrong on our part to disturb him by pestering him to take leave at this time. Windy: Wow, you sound so sensible, Cliparti. Then you shouldn’t be so sad. After all, you are behaving in such a mature manner and I am sure your parents will really appreciate it and be proud of you. Cliparti: Thanks and I think I know that. I think, I am feeling bad because when my friends will return they will have lots and lots of things to tell about the various places. And all the time I will have to listen to them like a dumbo. Windy: Hey, that is no problem at all. You can also talk of places they have visited and the places they have not visited. Cliparti: How can I talk of someplace that I have not even seen? Windy: Of course you can when you have________ Fluppy: INTERNET! Windy: Yes, I will tell you of this best geography site for kids. At www.appukids.com/portals/geography-help/ you can visit as many places you want. If your friends have visited some historic city, you can also visit some monuments and share you information. If they have been to the hills you can visit mountains on the net and tell them not only of the hills they visited but also about lot many others. If they have been near some river you can read about some river and so on. Now is it not a brilliant idea? Floppy: I think it is superb! But what if her friends have been abroad? Windy: That is also no problem. There is lots to learn here on Africa, be it Mount Kilimanjaro or Sphinx or Victoria falls; Australia, the Great Barrier Reef or Sidney Opera House; Europe, Buckingham Palace or Vatican; America, Niagara Falls or Washington and other many wonders of the world. Fluppy: Good, so that will take care of my friends when they come back. But what do I do to beat my boredom till then? Fluppy: Here I can offer you a good solution. May I? Cliparti: Sure. Please go on. Fluppy: You can make friends with Garfield till then. You will find him at www.garfield.com/.You will find lots of fun, games, comics to read, postcards to send, new screensavers, fan club and other wonderful links. Cliparti: It is going to be a year of our weekly chat and I think Fluppy has really become very intelligent since then. What do you say Windy? Windy: Sure, after all it is all because my company! — Ira Verma |
