Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face. Unaware of this significant reality, he and two others continued swimming. This  goes on regularly but sudd...

Netaji's panache


We are surely in the busiest days sparked by the ongoing parliamentary polls. As the third round of polls lurks, the first two rounds reportedly hinted at the trend set in voters' moods.

Given the election campaign for seeking vote and support of the common people, a deft politician was going to his constituency by boat when suddenly a strong storm in the river came and his boat capsized upside down. It was undeniably not good for him.

Netaji did not know by swimming. So, he better opt to pray to the most powerful God. He vowed, 'If God saves me, I will extend my all strength in helping the poor in the undeveloped area. 

He even vowed to distribute as many as 21 kg of laddoo among the poor in his area.

Then a strong wind suddenly blew and as a result, the tree trunk came floating along with a huge turbulent wave. 

Netaji taking its support began to swim just to save his precious life. This situation was beyond versatile. 

As everywhere political leaders are sought after these days, it is hardly surprising that they can dare to perform in any dangerous situation.

When the shore came closer, he with a sense of confidence shouted, 'Which laddoo, what kind of laddoo?' He thus seemed to have been beset with his political disposition.

In a flicker of a second, another strong wave came and the wood fell from the tight grip of his trembling hands. 

Finding himself in a tight corner Netaji said beseechingly, 'Hey river god, why are you getting angry at this critical time? My life is in danger. Forgive me at this moment What have I been thinking? Of course, this is not honest thinking, he thought.

I asked about whether the size of the laddoo would be small or big and whether these would be made of gram flour or boondi? 

His tone of tongue changed at the time in an uncontrollable dangerous situation. His words changed when he found himself out of danger but sooner he corrected himself. 

It has more often been seen how our politicians forget their strong promises after the polls? 

Even in danger, he always counted on doing something good to add a little panache towards his loyal support
