To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if

for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.

1)Holiday time is the time to relax and take it easy. People prefer to visit different places and enjoy

with their families.

Imagine you are a travel agent. Pick any 2 destinations (anywhere in the world). Prepare two travel

brochures depicting the place of tourists interest, the famous cuisines, area of the city, population, fare

of travelling, cost of accommodation, currency, budget etc to attract your potential clients. Also prepare

one week planner for each destination in the month of June. You can use colourful pastel sheets and

other decoration material to make your brochure attractive.

cross checking systems. Vedic Mathematics converts a tedious subject into a playful and blissful one

which students learn with smiles.
