Swimming is my favorite sport. Specially during summers. Its such a wonder full cool feeling to be in water. But probably swimming is enjoyable only to those who know how to swim. I can say this because once I was on the other side of the door.When I was very young, my parents tried to teach me swimming. We had this early morning family batch. They self tutored me but I had an immense dread of water. Once I remember an incident which resulted in my parents never again trying to teach me to swim. It were some summer holidays and our usual family batch. My dad had been forcing me to leave the wall and try to swim in the middle of the pool. But I was so damn afraid that I did not let that side bar go. Finally he pulled me and took me on his back and started swimming towards the deeps. I started shouting loudly and hitting him (yaa I did hit him I remember.. but worst is yet to come). But he was in no mood to leave me. As an last resort, I bit him hard on his back. ouch!!! bit my dad??!!.....

Sunday the Funday .. well not so much for me. I'm in office. But our office isn't that much a bad place. You get to surf a lot on the net, free coffee. Food isn't all that bad either. But still I hate to be in the office on a sunday. Saturday I may not mind that much but sunday???!! Since school sundays are supposed to be special. Back at home both parents had a holiday. So it was a feast day. We surely had something sweet for lunch. Again in college, sunday we used to go out for lunch to escape the boring monotony of hostel mess. All in all sundays have always been fundays. Also before the advent of this cable network, we had a lot of cartoons and children programs on DD on sundays. We used to look forward for this rare TV viewings. So looking forward to next biiig weekend now.

Why should boys have all the fun??!! Pretty popular line from a famous advertisement of the latest 100cc moped. But this has been around us for quite a few years now. It all started from the time when we (me and my like minded friends) realized that there are some things which boys enjoy more and which are at times inaccessible to us. Always into the rebellion mode, I took a surest way out of my secured environment, my home. I went to study in a residential college away from home. Not that I had to face a lot of restrictions back home but there are some things which are more enjoyable when done secretly. Examinations are a time when all your real friends are there with you (in planning things which involve skipping studies) .That has been the time when I’ve discovered most of my real close pals. This was my first year in college and my very first university exam that too of a subject which I better don’t say anything about, engineering mathematics. A real scoundrel who has taken up ...
