Someone always tells you what the best part would be when you start out with something new..
Yesterday learning to float on my back for the first time, I was remembering an old conversation. In his characteristic excited style, dost A had told me long back-"Back-floating is the best part"..Its a weirdly amusing feeling to let go of yourself and be water borne on your back, i couldn't agree less.
And then I was thinking no one can ever tell you what the worst part will be..you have to take the fall yourself to realize how hard it hurts and if you can stay afloat in the end..
I have just too many thoughts when I swim..
When i am swimming outdoors I tend to think about the universe and the bigger things in life and when I swim indoors my thoughts tend to be more inwardly focussed-the petty challenges of day to day life.
I like to believe that swimming is like a zen state for me with wise floating thoughts!
