Did someone say swimming?

I discovered swimming!
Not that I can glide or dive like my other friends but hey they say that whatever I did IS swimmin ;)

There are so many things in life that you wish you can do or achieve. The list is unendin but the results are always otherwise....I remember in my other blog I wrote about my determination to learn something new and stylish (Salsa!!!) and the usual blah blah about how there are so many things that you wish...

Alas it remained Half- done as many of my other "projects"...
Anyways, coming back to my swimming...I am so proud of myself! Its still half done but I plan to perfect it on our Goa trip which is gonna happen in a week s time frm today :)
So we went to this resort which was like an hour away from the city. After the initial ooh ahhs about the place we jumped right into the water. Like any other day I relegated myself to the safer end of the weird shape pool or watever. My two friends with whom I had gone to Goa the first time...as usual were flaunting their skills while another friend of mine was struggling to learn the 'art'.
An hour pass...my friends almost gives up on me ... suddenly I see my other novice friend. She ackwardly but is swimming and I see that she glides underneath the water. I get inspired and immerse all my body underneath and let loose my friend's hand. Lo and behold I am underneath and moving!!! but I still have a long way to go...

A week after this we plan another trip for a place called water world or something (enthu me!)
And I have never screamed or taken water rides like that since I left college! It was exhilirating...the speed almost gave me a stroke! And then we swim and swim and swim. I am much better :)
I also laugh at my ex-novice friend who is now bent on improving her diving style. What a pout and sight! :D

mmmm am I stupid or a loser to just discover that we can actually open our eyes underneath the water and SEE. I felt like Jack Johnson in his upside down video ...well er I thought that the whole deal was thanks to technology. I tend to blame the wonders of technology for every illogical incomprehension that is on tv! :D
Not stupid but definetely a loser! :D
