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.

BJP flays Congress for issues in Kashmir

In Jammu & Kashmir, the political parties are raising their issues rather pensively and slowly or even potentially. With the EC's complete election schedule there, the days are not drawing so close, BJP and its top leaders have stepped up their attacks on the opponent Congress party.

In this consequence, the BJP leader Amit Shah has chosen to devalue Congress by questioning the Congress party's position on renaming prominent places in Jammu and Kashmir, such as Shankaracharya Hill and Hari Hill, to names with Islamic connotations.

“Does the Congress want 'Shankaracharya Hill,' to be known as 'Takht-e-Suleiman,' and 'Hari Hill' as 'Koh-e-Maran'?” he wrote, using the narrative often employed by the BJP, which accuses its rivals of indulging in "appeasement politics."

Hari Parbat also known as Koh-e-Maran lies on the west of Dal Lake in Srinagar, in the UT of Jammu & Kashmir. This Mughal structure was built by an Afghan Governor Atta Mohammed Khan in the 18th century.

The Shankaracharya temple is housed in the Srinagar district on the hill known as Takht-e-Suleiman. It is at a height of 1100 ft.
