It’s as simple as a lemonade since it was a summer. It was my summer vacation, and I had gone over to my native where my grandmother’s day. In the scorching gear after coming back from playing to home. I demanded her to give me a fruit juice or if I’m not wrong, I remember quite vividly. I, in fact, demanded her to buy me this uh, drink, uh, from outside. It was a lemon soda. So instead, she very gently uh, told me that let’s let me teach you something new today.

Oh, this question brings back a lot of nostalgic memories. My grandmother taught me how to prepare lemonade when I was just eight years old. It was during my summer vacation, and I had gone to my native place where my grandmother lived. In the scorching heat, after coming back from playing outside, I demanded her to give me a fruit juice or, if I'm not wrong, I remember quite vividly, I demanded her to buy me a lemon soda from outside. Instead, she very gently told me, 'Let me teach you something new today.' And that's how I learned to prepare lemonade. Although it sounds quite silly and simple now, it was the first drink I learned to make on my own, and it was so tasty. I still have the taste of that lemonade on my tongue. After that, I've tried making it a number of times, but it doesn't come up to the same standard, I guess. It was a long time back, and I felt so proud at the moment. I went and gave it to all my family members to have a taste of it, and even they applauded a bit for me.
