D/Chawngtinleri,

Nice reading ya writing. The more our parents bother about where and what we are, it is for the better of us, but we youngster dint understand about this. We will understand when we are only a parent.

Thanks…:)

I can now float if I hold my breath but swimming is still a li’l far off. It’s been raining and I don’t have access to an indoor pool and can’t practice. I should try out the goggles though…even only in front of the mirror!! lol.

I havnt come across ur blog before. Nice layout first of all. Champhai zawl…sounds like my grandpa’s place. And yeah, maybe u shud have gotten a nice beating like Vaiva said (grinning). And ur parents reaction was simply full of love, and having realised it then, you were lucky.
As for swimming, get googles, they really help; if u can see under water, half of the fear factor is gone….i still cant float, but can swim reasonaby well in a pool

I’m not too good at updating my blog…hehe.

That was a wonderful trick your mother used to perform..keeping the wonder alive in your lives. Parenthood seems easy but I think it must be one of the most difficult jobs in the world.

Funny this is my fist time here, considering the fact that you’ve been blogging far longer than I have..
Once when we were kids, mom got this NUTTIES chocolate for me and sis, and when we thought it was over, she pretended to pull them off the pic on the cover (She had some hidden in her palm) and to this day, I always remember that incident when I see a Nutties chocolate box. It was not till we were well into our teenhood that she told us the secret, which had been a huge mystery to us till then.
I guess the joy of Parenthood is being a Hero to a Kid, a Teacher to a Teen and a Best Friend to an Adult!

Childhood escapades, all of us have had our wild moments, eh! Congrats on your wise, caring parents. They must have made a real deep impact on your psyche.

hihihi… interesting memory. Even I would never forget such an incident if I went through one.

So you still don’t know how to swim? Its very easy. Just remember two words. “Don’t Panic”. And after that, you’ll find swimming extremely easy. As your head goes under the water, keep reminding yourself.. “don’t panic, don’t panic, don’t panic…” After that, staying afloat comes naturally.
